The
Jew
,
with
trembling
hands
,
undid
the
folds
of
his
Armenian
cap
,
in
which
he
had
deposited
the
Prior
's
tablets
for
the
greater
security
,
and
was
about
to
approach
,
with
hand
extended
and
body
crouched
,
to
place
it
within
the
reach
of
his
grim
interrogator
.
"
Back
,
dog
!
"
said
the
Grand
Master
;
"
I
touch
not
misbelievers
,
save
with
the
sword
.
--
Conrade
,
take
thou
the
letter
from
the
Jew
,
and
give
it
to
me
.
"
Beaumanoir
,
being
thus
possessed
of
the
tablets
,
inspected
the
outside
carefully
,
and
then
proceeded
to
undo
the
packthread
which
secured
its
folds
.
"
Reverend
father
,
"
said
Conrade
,
interposing
,
though
with
much
deference
,
"
wilt
thou
break
the
seal
?
"
"
And
will
I
not
?
"
said
Beaumanoir
,
with
a
frown
.
"
Is
it
not
written
in
the
forty-second
capital
,
De
Lectione
Literarum
that
a
Templar
shall
not
receive
a
letter
,
no
not
from
his
father
,
without
communicating
the
same
to
the
Grand
Master
,
and
reading
it
in
his
presence
?
"
He
then
perused
the
letter
in
haste
,
with
an
expression
of
surprise
and
horror
;
read
it
over
again
more
slowly
;
then
holding
it
out
to
Conrade
with
one
hand
,
and
slightly
striking
it
with
the
other
,
exclaimed
--
"
Here
is
goodly
stuff
for
one
Christian
man
to
write
to
another
,
and
both
members
,
and
no
inconsiderable
members
,
of
religious
professions
!
When
,
"
said
he
solemnly
,
and
looking
upward
,
"
wilt
thou
come
with
thy
fanners
to
purge
the
thrashing-floor
?
"
Mont-Fitchet
took
the
letter
from
his
Superior
,
and
was
about
to
peruse
it
.
"
Read
it
aloud
,
Conrade
,
"
said
the
Grand
Master
,
--
"
and
do
thou
"
(
to
Isaac
)
"
attend
to
the
purport
of
it
,
for
we
will
question
thee
concerning
it
.
"
Conrade
read
the
letter
,
which
was
in
these
words
:
"
Aymer
,
by
divine
grace
,
Prior
of
the
Cistertian
house
of
Saint
Mary
's
of
Jorvaulx
,
to
Sir
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
,
a
Knight
of
the
holy
Order
of
the
Temple
,
wisheth
health
,
with
the
bounties
of
King
Bacchus
and
of
my
Lady
Venus
.
Touching
our
present
condition
,
dear
Brother
,
we
are
a
captive
in
the
hands
of
certain
lawless
and
godless
men
,
who
have
not
feared
to
detain
our
person
,
and
put
us
to
ransom
;
whereby
we
have
also
learned
of
Front-de-Boeuf
's
misfortune
,
and
that
thou
hast
escaped
with
that
fair
Jewish
sorceress
,
whose
black
eyes
have
bewitched
thee
.
We
are
heartily
rejoiced
of
thy
safety
;
nevertheless
,
we
pray
thee
to
be
on
thy
guard
in
the
matter
of
this
second
Witch
of
Endor
;
for
we
are
privately
assured
that
your
Great
Master
,
who
careth
not
a
bean
for
cherry
cheeks
and
black
eyes
,
comes
from
Normandy
to
diminish
your
mirth
,
and
amend
your
misdoings
.
Wherefore
we
pray
you
heartily
to
beware
,
and
to
be
found
watching
,
even
as
the
Holy
Text
hath
it
,
Invenientur
vigilantes
.
And
the
wealthy
Jew
her
father
,
Isaac
of
York
,
having
prayed
of
me
letters
in
his
behalf
,
I
gave
him
these
,
earnestly
advising
,
and
in
a
sort
entreating
,
that
you
do
hold
the
damsel
to
ransom
,
seeing
he
will
pay
you
from
his
bags
as
much
as
may
find
fifty
damsels
upon
safer
terms
,
whereof
I
trust
to
have
my
part
when
we
make
merry
together
,
as
true
brothers
,
not
forgetting
the
wine-cup
.
For
what
saith
the
text
,
Vinum
laetificat
cor
hominis
;
and
again
,
Rex
delectabitur
pulchritudine
tua
.
