"
Ay
,
right
,
"
answered
Front-de-Boeuf
;
"
and
canst
thou
tell
me
,
holy
father
,
the
number
of
those
banditti
?
"
"
Gallant
sir
,
"
answered
the
Jester
,
"
nomen
illis
legio
,
their
name
is
legion
.
"
"
Tell
me
in
plain
terms
what
numbers
there
are
,
or
,
priest
,
thy
cloak
and
cord
will
ill
protect
thee
.
"
"
Alas
!
"
said
the
supposed
friar
,
"
cor
meum
eructavit
,
that
is
to
say
,
I
was
like
to
burst
with
fear
!
but
I
conceive
they
may
be
--
what
of
yeomen
--
what
of
commons
,
at
least
five
hundred
men
.
"
"
What
!
"
said
the
Templar
,
who
came
into
the
hall
that
moment
,
"
muster
the
wasps
so
thick
here
?
it
is
time
to
stifle
such
a
mischievous
brood
.
"
Then
taking
Front-de-Boeuf
aside
"
Knowest
thou
the
priest
?
"
"
He
is
a
stranger
from
a
distant
convent
,
"
said
Front-de-Boeuf
;
"
I
know
him
not
.
"
"
Then
trust
him
not
with
thy
purpose
in
words
,
"
answered
the
Templar
.
"
Let
him
carry
a
written
order
to
De
Bracy
's
company
of
Free
Companions
,
to
repair
instantly
to
their
master
's
aid
.
In
the
meantime
,
and
that
the
shaveling
may
suspect
nothing
,
permit
him
to
go
freely
about
his
task
of
preparing
these
Saxon
hogs
for
the
slaughter-house
.
"
"
It
shall
be
so
,
"
said
Front-de-Boeuf
.
And
he
forthwith
appointed
a
domestic
to
conduct
Wamba
to
the
apartment
where
Cedric
and
Athelstane
were
confined
.
The
impatience
of
Cedric
had
been
rather
enhanced
than
diminished
by
his
confinement
.
He
walked
from
one
end
of
the
hall
to
the
other
,
with
the
attitude
of
one
who
advances
to
charge
an
enemy
,
or
to
storm
the
breach
of
a
beleaguered
place
,
sometimes
ejaculating
to
himself
,
sometimes
addressing
Athelstane
,
who
stoutly
and
stoically
awaited
the
issue
of
the
adventure
,
digesting
,
in
the
meantime
,
with
great
composure
,
the
liberal
meal
which
he
had
made
at
noon
,
and
not
greatly
interesting
himself
about
the
duration
of
his
captivity
,
which
he
concluded
,
would
,
like
all
earthly
evils
,
find
an
end
in
Heaven
's
good
time
.
"
Pax
vobiscum
,
"
said
the
Jester
,
entering
the
apartment
;
"
the
blessing
of
St
Dunstan
,
St
Dennis
,
St
Duthoc
,
and
all
other
saints
whatsoever
,
be
upon
ye
and
about
ye
.
