"
I
have
little
of
importance
to
say
,
lady
,
"
answered
Sir
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
,
"
excepting
the
confirmed
tidings
of
a
truce
with
Saladin
.
"
He
was
interrupted
by
Wamba
,
who
had
taken
his
appropriated
seat
upon
a
chair
,
the
back
of
which
was
decorated
with
two
ass
's
ears
,
and
which
was
placed
about
two
steps
behind
that
of
his
master
,
who
,
from
time
to
time
,
supplied
him
with
victuals
from
his
own
trencher
;
a
favour
,
however
,
which
the
Jester
shared
with
the
favourite
dogs
,
of
whom
,
as
we
have
already
noticed
,
there
were
several
in
attendance
.
Here
sat
Wamba
,
with
a
small
table
before
him
,
his
heels
tucked
up
against
the
bar
of
the
chair
,
his
cheeks
sucked
up
so
as
to
make
his
jaws
resemble
a
pair
of
nut-crackers
,
and
his
eyes
half-shut
,
yet
watching
with
alertness
every
opportunity
to
exercise
his
licensed
foolery
.
"
These
truces
with
the
infidels
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
without
caring
how
suddenly
he
interrupted
the
stately
Templar
,
"
make
an
old
man
of
me
!
"
"
Go
to
,
knave
,
how
so
?
"
said
Cedric
,
his
features
prepared
to
receive
favourably
the
expected
jest
.
"
Because
,
"
answered
Wamba
,
"
I
remember
three
of
them
in
my
day
,
each
of
which
was
to
endure
for
the
course
of
fifty
years
;
so
that
,
by
computation
,
I
must
be
at
least
a
hundred
and
fifty
years
old
.
"
"
I
will
warrant
you
against
dying
of
old
age
,
however
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
who
now
recognised
his
friend
of
the
forest
;
"
I
will
assure
you
from
all
deaths
but
a
violent
one
,
if
you
give
such
directions
to
wayfarers
,
as
you
did
this
night
to
the
Prior
and
me
.
"
"
How
,
sirrah
!
"
said
Cedric
,
"
misdirect
travellers
?
We
must
have
you
whipt
;
you
are
at
least
as
much
rogue
as
fool
.
"
"
I
pray
thee
,
uncle
,
"
answered
the
Jester
,
"
let
my
folly
,
for
once
,
protect
my
roguery
.
I
did
but
make
a
mistake
between
my
right
hand
and
my
left
;
and
he
might
have
pardoned
a
greater
,
who
took
a
fool
for
his
counsellor
and
guide
.
"
Conversation
was
here
interrupted
by
the
entrance
of
the
porter
's
page
,
who
announced
that
there
was
a
stranger
at
the
gate
,
imploring
admittance
and
hospitality
,
"
Admit
him
,
"
said
Cedric
,
"
be
he
who
or
what
he
may
;
--
a
night
like
that
which
roars
without
,
compels
even
wild
animals
to
herd
with
tame
,
and
to
seek
the
protection
of
man
,
their
mortal
foe
,
rather
than
perish
by
the
elements
.
Let
his
wants
be
ministered
to
with
all
care
--
look
to
it
,
Oswald
.
