To
his
great
surprise
he
found
himself
in
a
room
magnificently
furnished
,
but
having
cushions
instead
of
chairs
to
rest
upon
,
and
in
other
respects
partaking
so
much
of
Oriental
costume
,
that
he
began
to
doubt
whether
he
had
not
,
during
his
sleep
,
been
transported
back
again
to
the
land
of
Palestine
.
The
impression
was
increased
,
when
,
the
tapestry
being
drawn
aside
,
a
female
form
,
dressed
in
a
rich
habit
,
which
partook
more
of
the
Eastern
taste
than
that
of
Europe
,
glided
through
the
door
which
it
concealed
,
and
was
followed
by
a
swarthy
domestic
.
As
the
wounded
knight
was
about
to
address
this
fair
apparition
,
she
imposed
silence
by
placing
her
slender
finger
upon
her
ruby
lips
,
while
the
attendant
,
approaching
him
,
proceeded
to
uncover
Ivanhoe
's
side
,
and
the
lovely
Jewess
satisfied
herself
that
the
bandage
was
in
its
place
,
and
the
wound
doing
well
.
She
performed
her
task
with
a
graceful
and
dignified
simplicity
and
modesty
,
which
might
,
even
in
more
civilized
days
,
have
served
to
redeem
it
from
whatever
might
seem
repugnant
to
female
delicacy
.
The
idea
of
so
young
and
beautiful
a
person
engaged
in
attendance
on
a
sick-bed
,
or
in
dressing
the
wound
of
one
of
a
different
sex
,
was
melted
away
and
lost
in
that
of
a
beneficent
being
contributing
her
effectual
aid
to
relieve
pain
,
and
to
avert
the
stroke
of
death
.
Rebecca
's
few
and
brief
directions
were
given
in
the
Hebrew
language
to
the
old
domestic
;
and
he
,
who
had
been
frequently
her
assistant
in
similar
cases
,
obeyed
them
without
reply
.
The
accents
of
an
unknown
tongue
,
however
harsh
they
might
have
sounded
when
uttered
by
another
,
had
,
coming
from
the
beautiful
Rebecca
,
the
romantic
and
pleasing
effect
which
fancy
ascribes
to
the
charms
pronounced
by
some
beneficent
fairy
,
unintelligible
,
indeed
,
to
the
ear
,
but
,
from
the
sweetness
of
utterance
,
and
benignity
of
aspect
,
which
accompanied
them
,
touching
and
affecting
to
the
heart
.
Without
making
an
attempt
at
further
question
,
Ivanhoe
suffered
them
in
silence
to
take
the
measures
they
thought
most
proper
for
his
recovery
;
and
it
was
not
until
those
were
completed
,
and
this
kind
physician
about
to
retire
,
that
his
curiosity
could
no
longer
be
suppressed
.
--
"
Gentle
maiden
,
"
be
began
in
the
Arabian
tongue
,
with
which
his
Eastern
travels
had
rendered
him
familiar
,
and
which
he
thought
most
likely
to
be
understood
by
the
turban
'd
and
caftan
'd
damsel
who
stood
before
him
--
"
I
pray
you
,
gentle
maiden
,
of
your
courtesy
--
"
But
here
he
was
interrupted
by
his
fair
physician
,
a
smile
which
she
could
scarce
suppress
dimpling
for
an
instant
a
face
,
whose
general
expression
was
that
of
contemplative
melancholy
.
"
I
am
of
England
,
Sir
Knight
,
and
speak
the
English
tongue
,
although
my
dress
and
my
lineage
belong
to
another
climate
.
"
"
Noble
damsel
,
"
--
again
the
Knight
of
Ivanhoe
began
;
and
again
Rebecca
hastened
to
interrupt
him
.
"
Bestow
not
on
me
,
Sir
Knight
,
"
she
said
,
"
the
epithet
of
noble
.
It
is
well
you
should
speedily
know
that
your
handmaiden
is
a
poor
Jewess
,
the
daughter
of
that
Isaac
of
York
,
to
whom
you
were
so
lately
a
good
and
kind
lord
.
It
well
becomes
him
,
and
those
of
his
household
,
to
render
to
you
such
careful
tendance
as
your
present
state
necessarily
demands
.
"
I
know
not
whether
the
fair
Rowena
would
have
been
altogether
satisfied
with
the
species
of
emotion
with
which
her
devoted
knight
had
hitherto
gazed
on
the
beautiful
features
,
and
fair
form
,
and
lustrous
eyes
,
of
the
lovely
Rebecca
;
eyes
whose
brilliancy
was
shaded
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
mellowed
,
by
the
fringe
of
her
long
silken
eyelashes
,
and
which
a
minstrel
would
have
compared
to
the
evening
star
darting
its
rays
through
a
bower
of
jessamine
.
But
Ivanhoe
was
too
good
a
Catholic
to
retain
the
same
class
of
feelings
towards
a
Jewess
.
This
Rebecca
had
foreseen
,
and
for
this
very
purpose
she
had
hastened
to
mention
her
father
's
name
and
lineage
;
yet
--
for
the
fair
and
wise
daughter
of
Isaac
was
not
without
a
touch
of
female
weakness
--
she
could
not
but
sigh
internally
when
the
glance
of
respectful
admiration
,
not
altogether
unmixed
with
tenderness
,
with
which
Ivanhoe
had
hitherto
regarded
his
unknown
benefactress
,
was
exchanged
at
once
for
a
manner
cold
,
composed
,
and
collected
,
and
fraught
with
no
deeper
feeling
than
that
which
expressed
a
grateful
sense
of
courtesy
received
from
an
unexpected
quarter
,
and
from
one
of
an
inferior
race
.
It
was
not
that
Ivanhoe
's
former
carriage
expressed
more
than
that
general
devotional
homage
which
youth
always
pays
to
beauty
;
yet
it
was
mortifying
that
one
word
should
operate
as
a
spell
to
remove
poor
Rebecca
,
who
could
not
be
supposed
altogether
ignorant
of
her
title
to
such
homage
,
into
a
degraded
class
,
to
whom
it
could
not
be
honourably
rendered
.
