"
Not
so
,
Sir
Brian
,
"
answered
Front-de-Boeuf
.
"
These
outlaws
have
indeed
a
daring
captain
;
but
without
machines
,
scaling
ladders
,
and
experienced
leaders
,
my
castle
may
defy
them
.
"
"
Send
to
thy
neighbours
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
"
let
them
assemble
their
people
,
and
come
to
the
rescue
of
three
knights
,
besieged
by
a
jester
and
a
swineherd
in
the
baronial
castle
of
Reginald
Front-de-Boeuf
!
"
"
You
jest
,
Sir
Knight
,
"
answered
the
baron
;
"
but
to
whom
should
I
send
?
--
Malvoisin
is
by
this
time
at
York
with
his
retainers
,
and
so
are
my
other
allies
;
and
so
should
I
have
been
,
but
for
this
infernal
enterprise
.
"
"
Then
send
to
York
,
and
recall
our
people
,
"
said
De
Bracy
.
"
If
they
abide
the
shaking
of
my
standard
,
or
the
sight
of
my
Free
Companions
,
I
will
give
them
credit
for
the
boldest
outlaws
ever
bent
bow
in
green-wood
.
"
"
And
who
shall
bear
such
a
message
?
"
said
Front-de-Boeuf
;
"
they
will
beset
every
path
,
and
rip
the
errand
out
of
his
bosom
.
--
I
have
it
,
"
he
added
,
after
pausing
for
a
moment
--
"
Sir
Templar
,
thou
canst
write
as
well
as
read
,
and
if
we
can
but
find
the
writing
materials
of
my
chaplain
,
who
died
a
twelvemonth
since
in
the
midst
of
his
Christmas
carousals
--
"
"
So
please
ye
,
"
said
the
squire
,
who
was
still
in
attendance
,
"
I
think
old
Urfried
has
them
somewhere
in
keeping
,
for
love
of
the
confessor
.
He
was
the
last
man
,
I
have
heard
her
tell
,
who
ever
said
aught
to
her
,
which
man
ought
in
courtesy
to
address
to
maid
or
matron
.
"
"
Go
,
search
them
out
,
Engelred
,
"
said
Front-de-Boeuf
;
"
and
then
,
Sir
Templar
,
thou
shalt
return
an
answer
to
this
bold
challenge
.
"
"
I
would
rather
do
it
at
the
sword
's
point
than
at
that
of
the
pen
,
"
said
Bois-Guilbert
;
"
but
be
it
as
you
will
.
"
He
sat
down
accordingly
,
and
indited
,
in
the
French
language
,
an
epistle
of
the
following
tenor
:
--
"
Sir
Reginald
Front-de-Boeuf
,
with
his
noble
and
knightly
allies
and
confederates
,
receive
no
defiances
at
the
hands
of
slaves
,
bondsmen
,
or
fugitives
.
If
the
person
calling
himself
the
Black
Knight
have
indeed
a
claim
to
the
honours
of
chivalry
,
he
ought
to
know
that
he
stands
degraded
by
his
present
association
,
and
has
no
right
to
ask
reckoning
at
the
hands
of
good
men
of
noble
blood
.
