Surely
we
will
pause
ere
we
give
an
office
so
high
to
one
who
shows
evidently
how
little
he
reverences
our
blood
,
by
his
so
readily
undertaking
this
enterprise
against
Richard
.
Thou
dost
think
,
I
warrant
,
that
thou
hast
lost
somewhat
of
our
regard
,
by
thy
boldly
declining
this
unpleasing
task
--
But
no
,
Maurice
!
I
rather
honour
thee
for
thy
virtuous
constancy
.
There
are
things
most
necessary
to
be
done
,
the
perpetrator
of
which
we
neither
love
nor
honour
;
and
there
may
be
refusals
to
serve
us
,
which
shall
rather
exalt
in
our
estimation
those
who
deny
our
request
.
The
arrest
of
my
unfortunate
brother
forms
no
such
good
title
to
the
high
office
of
Chancellor
,
as
thy
chivalrous
and
courageous
denial
establishes
in
thee
to
the
truncheon
of
High
Marshal
.
Think
of
this
,
De
Bracy
,
and
begone
to
thy
charge
.
"
"
Fickle
tyrant
!
"
muttered
De
Bracy
,
as
he
left
the
presence
of
the
Prince
;
"
evil
luck
have
they
who
trust
thee
.
Thy
Chancellor
,
indeed
!
--
He
who
hath
the
keeping
of
thy
conscience
shall
have
an
easy
charge
,
I
trow
.
But
High
Marshal
of
England
!
that
,
"
he
said
,
extending
his
arm
,
as
if
to
grasp
the
baton
of
office
,
and
assuming
a
loftier
stride
along
the
antechamber
,
"
that
is
indeed
a
prize
worth
playing
for
!
"
De
Bracy
had
no
sooner
left
the
apartment
than
Prince
John
summoned
an
attendant
.
"
Bid
Hugh
Bardon
,
our
scout-master
,
come
hither
,
as
soon
as
he
shall
have
spoken
with
Waldemar
Fitzurse
.
"
The
scout-master
arrived
after
a
brief
delay
,
during
which
John
traversed
the
apartment
with
,
unequal
and
disordered
steps
"
Bardon
,
"
said
he
,
"
what
did
Waldemar
desire
of
thee
?
"
"
Two
resolute
men
,
well
acquainted
with
these
northern
wilds
,
and
skilful
in
tracking
the
tread
of
man
and
horse
.
"
"
And
thou
hast
fitted
him
?
"
"
Let
your
grace
never
trust
me
else
,
"
answered
the
master
of
the
spies
.
"
One
is
from
Hexamshire
;
he
is
wont
to
trace
the
Tynedale
and
Teviotdale
thieves
,
as
a
bloodhound
follows
the
slot
of
a
hurt
deer
.
The
other
is
Yorkshire
bred
,
and
has
twanged
his
bowstring
right
oft
in
merry
Sherwood
;
he
knows
each
glade
and
dingle
,
copse
and
high-wood
,
betwixt
this
and
Richmond
.
"
"
'
Tis
well
,
"
said
the
Prince
.
--
"
Goes
Waldemar
forth
with
them
?
"
