Cedric
saw
the
motion
and
its
cause
.
"
Sir
Templar
,
"
said
he
,
"
the
cheeks
of
our
Saxon
maidens
have
seen
too
little
of
the
sun
to
enable
them
to
bear
the
fixed
glance
of
a
crusader
.
"
"
If
I
have
offended
,
"
replied
Sir
Brian
,
"
I
crave
your
pardon
,
--
that
is
,
I
crave
the
Lady
Rowena
's
pardon
,
--
for
my
humility
will
carry
me
no
lower
.
"
"
The
Lady
Rowena
,
"
said
the
Prior
,
"
has
punished
us
all
,
in
chastising
the
boldness
of
my
friend
.
Let
me
hope
she
will
be
less
cruel
to
the
splendid
train
which
are
to
meet
at
the
tournament
.
"
"
Our
going
thither
,
"
said
Cedric
,
"
is
uncertain
.
I
love
not
these
vanities
,
which
were
unknown
to
my
fathers
when
England
was
free
.
"
"
Let
us
hope
,
nevertheless
,
"
said
the
Prior
,
"
our
company
may
determine
you
to
travel
thitherward
;
when
the
roads
are
so
unsafe
,
the
escort
of
Sir
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
is
not
to
be
despised
.
"
"
Sir
Prior
,
"
answered
the
Saxon
,
"
wheresoever
I
have
travelled
in
this
land
,
I
have
hitherto
found
myself
,
with
the
assistance
of
my
good
sword
and
faithful
followers
,
in
no
respect
needful
of
other
aid
.
At
present
,
if
we
indeed
journey
to
Ashby-de-la-Zouche
,
we
do
so
with
my
noble
neighbour
and
countryman
Athelstane
of
Coningsburgh
,
and
with
such
a
train
as
would
set
outlaws
and
feudal
enemies
at
defiance
.
--
I
drink
to
you
,
Sir
Prior
,
in
this
cup
of
wine
,
which
I
trust
your
taste
will
approve
,
and
I
thank
you
for
your
courtesy
.
Should
you
be
so
rigid
in
adhering
to
monastic
rule
,
"
he
added
,
"
as
to
prefer
your
acid
preparation
of
milk
,
I
hope
you
will
not
strain
courtesy
to
do
me
reason
.
"
"
Nay
,
"
said
the
Priest
,
laughing
,
"
it
is
only
in
our
abbey
that
we
confine
ourselves
to
the
lac
dulce
or
the
lac
acidum
either
.
Conversing
with
,
the
world
,
we
use
the
world
's
fashions
,
and
therefore
I
answer
your
pledge
in
this
honest
wine
,
and
leave
the
weaker
liquor
to
my
lay-brother
.
"
"
And
I
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
filling
his
goblet
,
"
drink
wassail
to
the
fair
Rowena
;
for
since
her
namesake
introduced
the
word
into
England
,
has
never
been
one
more
worthy
of
such
a
tribute
.
By
my
faith
,
I
could
pardon
the
unhappy
Vortigern
,
had
he
half
the
cause
that
we
now
witness
,
for
making
shipwreck
of
his
honour
and
his
kingdom
.
"
"
I
will
spare
your
courtesy
,
Sir
Knight
,
"
said
Rowena
with
dignity
,
and
without
unveiling
herself
;
"
or
rather
I
will
tax
it
so
far
as
to
require
of
you
the
latest
news
from
Palestine
,
a
theme
more
agreeable
to
our
English
ears
than
the
compliments
which
your
French
breeding
teaches
.
