It
would
not
have
been
difficult
to
have
persuaded
Isaac
to
this
step
in
any
other
circumstances
,
for
his
disposition
was
kind
and
grateful
.
But
he
had
also
the
prejudices
and
scrupulous
timidity
of
his
persecuted
people
,
and
those
were
to
be
conquered
.
"
Holy
Abraham
!
"
he
exclaimed
,
"
he
is
a
good
youth
,
and
my
heart
bleeds
to
see
the
gore
trickle
down
his
rich
embroidered
hacqueton
,
and
his
corslet
of
goodly
price
--
but
to
carry
him
to
our
house
!
--
damsel
,
hast
thou
well
considered
?
--
he
is
a
Christian
,
and
by
our
law
we
may
not
deal
with
the
stranger
and
Gentile
,
save
for
the
advantage
of
our
commerce
.
"
"
Speak
not
so
,
my
dear
father
,
"
replied
Rebecca
;
"
we
may
not
indeed
mix
with
them
in
banquet
and
in
jollity
;
but
in
wounds
and
in
misery
,
the
Gentile
becometh
the
Jew
's
brother
.
"
"
I
would
I
knew
what
the
Rabbi
Jacob
Ben
Tudela
would
opine
on
it
,
"
replied
Isaac
;
--
"
nevertheless
,
the
good
youth
must
not
bleed
to
death
.
Let
Seth
and
Reuben
bear
him
to
Ashby
.
"
"
Nay
,
let
them
place
him
in
my
litter
,
"
said
Rebecca
;
"
I
will
mount
one
of
the
palfreys
.
"
"
That
were
to
expose
thee
to
the
gaze
of
those
dogs
of
Ishmael
and
of
Edom
,
"
whispered
Isaac
,
with
a
suspicious
glance
towards
the
crowd
of
knights
and
squires
.
But
Rebecca
was
already
busied
in
carrying
her
charitable
purpose
into
effect
,
and
listed
not
what
he
said
,
until
Isaac
,
seizing
the
sleeve
of
her
mantle
,
again
exclaimed
,
in
a
hurried
voice
--
"
Beard
of
Aaron
!
--
what
if
the
youth
perish
!
--
if
he
die
in
our
custody
,
shall
we
not
be
held
guilty
of
his
blood
,
and
be
torn
to
pieces
by
the
multitude
?
"
"
He
will
not
die
,
my
father
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
gently
extricating
herself
from
the
grasp
of
Isaac
"
he
will
not
die
unless
we
abandon
him
;
and
if
so
,
we
are
indeed
answerable
for
his
blood
to
God
and
to
man
.
"
"
Nay
,
"
said
Isaac
,
releasing
his
hold
,
"
it
grieveth
me
as
much
to
see
the
drops
of
his
blood
,
as
if
they
were
so
many
golden
byzants
from
mine
own
purse
;
and
I
well
know
,
that
the
lessons
of
Miriam
,
daughter
of
the
Rabbi
Manasses
of
Byzantium
whose
soul
is
in
Paradise
,
have
made
thee
skilful
in
the
art
of
healing
,
and
that
thou
knowest
the
craft
of
herbs
,
and
the
force
of
elixirs
.
Therefore
,
do
as
thy
mind
giveth
thee
--
thou
art
a
good
damsel
,
a
blessing
,
and
a
crown
,
and
a
song
of
rejoicing
unto
me
and
unto
my
house
,
and
unto
the
people
of
my
fathers
.
"
The
apprehensions
of
Isaac
,
however
,
were
not
ill
founded
;
and
the
generous
and
grateful
benevolence
of
his
daughter
exposed
her
,
on
her
return
to
Ashby
,
to
the
unhallowed
gaze
of
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
.
The
Templar
twice
passed
and
repassed
them
on
the
road
,
fixing
his
bold
and
ardent
look
on
the
beautiful
Jewess
;
and
we
have
already
seen
the
consequences
of
the
admiration
which
her
charms
excited
when
accident
threw
her
into
the
power
of
that
unprincipled
voluptuary
.
Rebecca
lost
no
time
in
causing
the
patient
to
be
transported
to
their
temporary
dwelling
,
and
proceeded
with
her
own
hands
to
examine
and
to
bind
up
his
wounds
.
The
youngest
reader
of
romances
and
romantic
ballads
,
must
recollect
how
often
the
females
,
during
the
dark
ages
,
as
they
are
called
,
were
initiated
into
the
mysteries
of
surgery
,
and
how
frequently
the
gallant
knight
submitted
the
wounds
of
his
person
to
her
cure
,
whose
eyes
had
yet
more
deeply
penetrated
his
heart
.
