"
A
brief
respite
from
instant
death
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
which
will
little
avail
me
--
was
this
all
thou
couldst
do
for
one
,
on
whose
head
thou
hast
heaped
sorrow
,
and
whom
thou
hast
brought
near
even
to
the
verge
of
the
tomb
?
"
"
No
maiden
,
"
said
Bois-Guilbert
,
"
this
was
NOT
all
that
I
purposed
.
Had
it
not
been
for
the
accursed
interference
of
yon
fanatical
dotard
,
and
the
fool
of
Goodalricke
,
who
,
being
a
Templar
,
affects
to
think
and
judge
according
to
the
ordinary
rules
of
humanity
,
the
office
of
the
Champion
Defender
had
devolved
,
not
on
a
Preceptor
,
but
on
a
Companion
of
the
Order
.
Then
I
myself
--
such
was
my
purpose
--
had
,
on
the
sounding
of
the
trumpet
,
appeared
in
the
lists
as
thy
champion
,
disguised
indeed
in
the
fashion
of
a
roving
knight
,
who
seeks
adventures
to
prove
his
shield
and
spear
;
and
then
,
let
Beaumanoir
have
chosen
not
one
,
but
two
or
three
of
the
brethren
here
assembled
,
I
had
not
doubted
to
cast
them
out
of
the
saddle
with
my
single
lance
.
Thus
,
Rebecca
,
should
thine
innocence
have
been
avouched
,
and
to
thine
own
gratitude
would
I
have
trusted
for
the
reward
of
my
victory
.
"
"
This
,
Sir
Knight
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
is
but
idle
boasting
--
a
brag
of
what
you
would
have
done
had
you
not
found
it
convenient
to
do
otherwise
.
You
received
my
glove
,
and
my
champion
,
if
a
creature
so
desolate
can
find
one
,
must
encounter
your
lance
in
the
lists
--
yet
you
would
assume
the
air
of
my
friend
and
protector
!
"
"
Thy
friend
and
protector
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
gravely
,
"
I
will
yet
be
--
but
mark
at
what
risk
,
or
rather
at
what
certainty
,
of
dishonour
;
and
then
blame
me
not
if
I
make
my
stipulations
,
before
I
offer
up
all
that
I
have
hitherto
held
dear
,
to
save
the
life
of
a
Jewish
maiden
.
"
"
Speak
,
"
said
Rebecca
;
"
I
understand
thee
not
.
"
"
Well
,
then
,
"
said
Bois-Guilbert
,
"
I
will
speak
as
freely
as
ever
did
doting
penitent
to
his
ghostly
father
,
when
placed
in
the
tricky
confessional
.
--
Rebecca
,
if
I
appear
not
in
these
lists
I
lose
fame
and
rank
--
lose
that
which
is
the
breath
of
my
nostrils
,
the
esteem
,
I
mean
,
in
which
I
am
held
by
my
brethren
,
and
the
hopes
I
have
of
succeeding
to
that
mighty
authority
,
which
is
now
wielded
by
the
bigoted
dotard
Lucas
de
Beaumanoir
,
but
of
which
I
should
make
a
different
use
.
Such
is
my
certain
doom
,
except
I
appear
in
arms
against
thy
cause
.
Accursed
be
he
of
Goodalricke
,
who
baited
this
trap
for
me
!
and
doubly
accursed
Albert
de
Malvoisin
,
who
withheld
me
from
the
resolution
I
had
formed
,
of
hurling
back
the
glove
at
the
face
of
the
superstitious
and
superannuated
fool
,
who
listened
to
a
charge
so
absurd
,
and
against
a
creature
so
high
in
mind
,
and
so
lovely
in
form
as
thou
art
!
"
"
And
what
now
avails
rant
or
flattery
?
"
answered
Rebecca
.
"
Thou
hast
made
thy
choice
between
causing
to
be
shed
the
blood
of
an
innocent
woman
,
or
of
endangering
thine
own
earthly
state
and
earthly
hopes
--
What
avails
it
to
reckon
together
?
--
thy
choice
is
made
.
"
"
No
,
Rebecca
,
"
said
the
knight
,
in
a
softer
tone
,
and
drawing
nearer
towards
her
;
"
my
choice
is
NOT
made
--
nay
,
mark
,
it
is
thine
to
make
the
election
.
If
I
appear
in
the
lists
,
I
must
maintain
my
name
in
arms
;
and
if
I
do
so
,
championed
or
unchampioned
,
thou
diest
by
the
stake
and
faggot
,
for
there
lives
not
the
knight
who
hath
coped
with
me
in
arms
on
equal
issue
,
or
on
terms
of
vantage
,
save
Richard
Coeur-de-Lion
,
and
his
minion
of
Ivanhoe
.
Ivanhoe
,
as
thou
well
knowest
,
is
unable
to
bear
his
corslet
,
and
Richard
is
in
a
foreign
prison
.
