A
fetterlock
and
shacklebolt
azure
,
"
said
Ivanhoe
;
"
I
know
not
who
may
bear
the
device
,
but
well
I
ween
it
might
now
be
mine
own
.
Canst
thou
not
see
the
motto
?
"
"
Scarce
the
device
itself
at
this
distance
,
"
replied
Rebecca
;
"
but
when
the
sun
glances
fair
upon
his
shield
,
it
shows
as
I
tell
you
.
"
"
Seem
there
no
other
leaders
?
"
exclaimed
the
anxious
enquirer
.
"
None
of
mark
and
distinction
that
I
can
behold
from
this
station
,
"
said
Rebecca
;
"
but
,
doubtless
,
the
other
side
of
the
castle
is
also
assailed
.
They
appear
even
now
preparing
to
advance
--
God
of
Zion
,
protect
us
!
--
What
a
dreadful
sight
!
--
Those
who
advance
first
bear
huge
shields
and
defences
made
of
plank
;
the
others
follow
,
bending
their
bows
as
they
come
on
.
--
They
raise
their
bows
!
--
God
of
Moses
,
forgive
the
creatures
thou
hast
made
!
"
Her
description
was
here
suddenly
interrupted
by
the
signal
for
assault
,
which
was
given
by
the
blast
of
a
shrill
bugle
,
and
at
once
answered
by
a
flourish
of
the
Norman
trumpets
from
the
battlements
,
which
,
mingled
with
the
deep
and
hollow
clang
of
the
nakers
,
(
a
species
of
kettle-drum
,
)
retorted
in
notes
of
defiance
the
challenge
of
the
enemy
.
The
shouts
of
both
parties
augmented
the
fearful
din
,
the
assailants
crying
,
"
Saint
George
for
merry
England
!
"
and
the
Normans
answering
them
with
loud
cries
of
"
En
avant
De
Bracy
!
--
Beau-seant
!
Beau-seant
!
--
Front-de-Boeuf
a
la
rescousse
!
"
according
to
the
war-cries
of
their
different
commanders
.
It
was
not
,
however
,
by
clamour
that
the
contest
was
to
be
decided
,
and
the
desperate
efforts
of
the
assailants
were
met
by
an
equally
vigorous
defence
on
the
part
of
the
besieged
.
The
archers
,
trained
by
their
woodland
pastimes
to
the
most
effective
use
of
the
long-bow
,
shot
,
to
use
the
appropriate
phrase
of
the
time
,
so
"
wholly
together
,
"
that
no
point
at
which
a
defender
could
show
the
least
part
of
his
person
,
escaped
their
cloth-yard
shafts
.
By
this
heavy
discharge
,
which
continued
as
thick
and
sharp
as
hail
,
while
,
notwithstanding
,
every
arrow
had
its
individual
aim
,
and
flew
by
scores
together
against
each
embrasure
and
opening
in
the
parapets
,
as
well
as
at
every
window
where
a
defender
either
occasionally
had
post
,
or
might
be
suspected
to
be
stationed
,
--
by
this
sustained
discharge
,
two
or
three
of
the
garrison
were
slain
,
and
several
others
wounded
.
But
,
confident
in
their
armour
of
proof
,
and
in
the
cover
which
their
situation
afforded
,
the
followers
of
Front-de-Boeuf
,
and
his
allies
,
showed
an
obstinacy
in
defence
proportioned
to
the
fury
of
the
attack
and
replied
with
the
discharge
of
their
large
cross-bows
,
as
well
as
with
their
long-bows
,
slings
,
and
other
missile
weapons
,
to
the
close
and
continued
shower
of
arrows
;
and
,
as
the
assailants
were
necessarily
but
indifferently
protected
,
did
considerably
more
damage
than
they
received
at
their
hand
.
The
whizzing
of
shafts
and
of
missiles
,
on
both
sides
,
was
only
interrupted
by
the
shouts
which
arose
when
either
side
inflicted
or
sustained
some
notable
loss
.
"
And
I
must
lie
here
like
a
bedridden
monk
,
"
exclaimed
Ivanhoe
,
"
while
the
game
that
gives
me
freedom
or
death
is
played
out
by
the
hand
of
others
!
--
Look
from
the
window
once
again
,
kind
maiden
,
but
beware
that
you
are
not
marked
by
the
archers
beneath
--
Look
out
once
more
,
and
tell
me
if
they
yet
advance
to
the
storm
.
"
With
patient
courage
,
strengthened
by
the
interval
which
she
had
employed
in
mental
devotion
,
Rebecca
again
took
post
at
the
lattice
,
sheltering
herself
,
however
,
so
as
not
to
be
visible
from
beneath
.
