Art
thou
so
obstinate
,
De
Bracy
?
"
said
Prince
John
;
"
and
wilt
thou
forsake
me
,
after
so
many
protestations
of
zeal
for
my
service
?
"
"
I
mean
it
not
,
"
said
De
Bracy
;
"
I
will
abide
by
you
in
aught
that
becomes
a
knight
,
whether
in
the
lists
or
in
the
camp
;
but
this
highway
practice
comes
not
within
my
vow
.
"
"
Come
hither
,
Waldemar
,
"
said
Prince
John
.
"
An
unhappy
prince
am
I.
My
father
,
King
Henry
,
had
faithful
servants
--
He
had
but
to
say
that
he
was
plagued
with
a
factious
priest
,
and
the
blood
of
Thomas-a-Becket
,
saint
though
he
was
,
stained
the
steps
of
his
own
altar
.
--
Tracy
,
Morville
,
Brito
loyal
and
daring
subjects
,
your
names
,
your
spirit
,
are
extinct
!
and
although
Reginald
Fitzurse
hath
left
a
son
,
he
hath
fallen
off
from
his
father
's
fidelity
and
courage
.
"
"
He
has
fallen
off
from
neither
,
"
said
Waldemar
Fitzurse
;
"
and
since
it
may
not
better
be
,
I
will
take
on
me
the
conduct
of
this
perilous
enterprise
.
Dearly
,
however
,
did
my
father
purchase
the
praise
of
a
zealous
friend
;
and
yet
did
his
proof
of
loyalty
to
Henry
fall
far
short
of
what
I
am
about
to
afford
;
for
rather
would
I
assail
a
whole
calendar
of
saints
,
than
put
spear
in
rest
against
Coeur-de-Lion
.
--
De
Bracy
,
to
thee
I
must
trust
to
keep
up
the
spirits
of
the
doubtful
,
and
to
guard
Prince
John
's
person
.
If
you
receive
such
news
as
I
trust
to
send
you
,
our
enterprise
will
no
longer
wear
a
doubtful
aspect
.

he
said
,
"
hie
to
my
lodgings
,
and
tell
my
armourer
to
be
there
in
readiness
;
and
bid
Stephen
Wetheral
,
Broad
Thoresby
,
and
the
Three
Spears
of
Spyinghow
,
come
to
me
instantly
;
and
let
the
scout-master
,
Hugh
Bardon
,
attend
me
also
.
--
Adieu
,
my
Prince
,
till
better
times
.
"
Thus
speaking
,
he
left
the
apartment
.
"
He
goes
to
make
my
brother
prisoner
,
"
said
Prince
John
to
De
Bracy
,
"
with
as
little
touch
of
compunction
,
as
if
it
but
concerned
the
liberty
of
a
Saxon
franklin
.
I
trust
he
will
observe
our
orders
,
and
use
our
dear
Richard
's
person
with
all
due
respect
.
"
De
Bracy
only
answered
by
a
smile
.
"
By
the
light
of
Our
Lady
's
brow
,
"
said
Prince
John
,
"
our
orders
to
him
were
most
precise
--
though
it
may
be
you
heard
them
not
,
as
we
stood
together
in
the
oriel
window
--
Most
clear
and
positive
was
our
charge
that
Richard
's
safety
should
be
cared
for
,
and
woe
to
Waldemar
's
head
if
he
transgress
it
!
"
"
I
had
better
pass
to
his
lodgings
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
"
and
make
him
fully
aware
of
your
Grace
's
pleasure
;
for
,
as
it
quite
escaped
my
ear
,
it
may
not
perchance
have
reached
that
of
Waldemar
.
"
"
Nay
,
nay
,
"
said
Prince
John
,
impatiently
,
"
I
promise
thee
he
heard
me
;
and
,
besides
,
I
have
farther
occupation
for
thee
.
Maurice
,
come
hither
;
let
me
lean
on
thy
shoulder
.
"
They
walked
a
turn
through
the
hall
in
this
familiar
posture
,
and
Prince
John
,
with
an
air
of
the
most
confidential
intimacy
,
proceeded
to
say
,
"
What
thinkest
thou
of
this
Waldemar
Fitzurse
,
my
De
Bracy
?
--
He
trusts
to
be
our
Chancellor
.
