If
he
will
take
it
,
so
;
if
not
,
adieu
;
And
,
for
my
love
,
I
pray
you
wrong
me
not
.
Merchant
of
Venice
As
the
Palmer
,
lighted
by
a
domestic
with
a
torch
,
passed
through
the
intricate
combination
of
apartments
of
this
large
and
irregular
mansion
,
the
cupbearer
coming
behind
him
whispered
in
his
ear
,
that
if
he
had
no
objection
to
a
cup
of
good
mead
in
his
apartment
,
there
were
many
domestics
in
that
family
who
would
gladly
hear
the
news
he
had
brought
from
the
Holy
Land
,
and
particularly
that
which
concerned
the
Knight
of
Ivanhoe
.
Wamba
presently
appeared
to
urge
the
same
request
,
observing
that
a
cup
after
midnight
was
worth
three
after
curfew
.
Without
disputing
a
maxim
urged
by
such
grave
authority
,
the
Palmer
thanked
them
for
their
courtesy
,
but
observed
that
he
had
included
in
his
religious
vow
,
an
obligation
never
to
speak
in
the
kitchen
on
matters
which
were
prohibited
in
the
hall
.
"
That
vow
,
"
said
Wamba
to
the
cupbearer
,
"
would
scarce
suit
a
serving-man
.
"
The
cupbearer
shrugged
up
his
shoulders
in
displeasure
.
"
I
thought
to
have
lodged
him
in
the
solere
chamber
,
"
said
he
;
"
but
since
he
is
so
unsocial
to
Christians
,
e
'
en
let
him
take
the
next
stall
to
Isaac
the
Jew
's
.
--
Anwold
,
"
said
he
to
the
torchbearer
,
"
carry
the
Pilgrim
to
the
southern
cell
.
--
I
give
you
good-night
,
"
he
added
,
"
Sir
Palmer
,
with
small
thanks
for
short
courtesy
.
"
"
Good-night
,
and
Our
Lady
's
benison
,
"
said
the
Palmer
,
with
composure
;
and
his
guide
moved
forward
.
In
a
small
antechamber
,
into
which
several
doors
opened
,
and
which
was
lighted
by
a
small
iron
lamp
,
they
met
a
second
interruption
from
the
waiting-maid
of
Rowena
,
who
,
saying
in
a
tone
of
authority
,
that
her
mistress
desired
to
speak
with
the
Palmer
,
took
the
torch
from
the
hand
of
Anwold
,
and
,
bidding
him
await
her
return
,
made
a
sign
to
the
Palmer
to
follow
.
Apparently
he
did
not
think
it
proper
to
decline
this
invitation
as
he
had
done
the
former
;
for
,
though
his
gesture
indicated
some
surprise
at
the
summons
,
he
obeyed
it
without
answer
or
remonstrance
.
A
short
passage
,
and
an
ascent
of
seven
steps
,
each
of
which
was
composed
of
a
solid
beam
of
oak
,
led
him
to
the
apartment
of
the
Lady
Rowena
,
the
rude
magnificence
of
which
corresponded
to
the
respect
which
was
paid
to
her
by
the
lord
of
the
mansion
.
The
walls
were
covered
with
embroidered
hangings
,
on
which
different-coloured
silks
,
interwoven
with
gold
and
silver
threads
,
had
been
employed
with
all
the
art
of
which
the
age
was
capable
,
to
represent
the
sports
of
hunting
and
hawking
.
The
bed
was
adorned
with
the
same
rich
tapestry
,
and
surrounded
with
curtains
dyed
with
purple
.
The
seats
had
also
their
stained
coverings
,
and
one
,
which
was
higher
than
the
rest
,
was
accommodated
with
a
footstool
of
ivory
,
curiously
carved
.
No
fewer
than
four
silver
candelabras
,
holding
great
waxen
torches
,
served
to
illuminate
this
apartment
.
Yet
let
not
modern
beauty
envy
the
magnificence
of
a
Saxon
princess
.
The
walls
of
the
apartment
were
so
ill
finished
and
so
full
of
crevices
,
that
the
rich
hangings
shook
in
the
night
blast
,
and
,
in
despite
of
a
sort
of
screen
intended
to
protect
them
from
the
wind
,
the
flame
of
the
torches
streamed
sideways
into
the
air
,
like
the
unfurled
pennon
of
a
chieftain
.
Magnificence
there
was
,
with
some
rude
attempt
at
taste
;
but
of
comfort
there
was
little
,
and
,
being
unknown
,
it
was
unmissed
.
