"
And
what
can
have
urged
you
to
so
sudden
a
departure
?
"
said
the
Prior
.
"
Have
you
never
,
holy
father
,
"
answered
the
Knight
,
"
felt
an
apprehension
of
approaching
evil
,
for
which
you
in
vain
attempted
to
assign
a
cause
?
--
Have
you
never
found
your
mind
darkened
,
like
the
sunny
landscape
,
by
the
sudden
cloud
,
which
augurs
a
coming
tempest
?
--
And
thinkest
thou
not
that
such
impulses
are
deserving
of
attention
,
as
being
the
hints
of
our
guardian
spirits
,
that
danger
is
impending
?
"
"
I
may
not
deny
,
"
said
the
Prior
,
crossing
himself
,
"
that
such
things
have
been
,
and
have
been
of
Heaven
;
but
then
such
communications
have
had
a
visibly
useful
scope
and
tendency
.
But
thou
,
wounded
as
thou
art
,
what
avails
it
thou
shouldst
follow
the
steps
of
him
whom
thou
couldst
not
aid
,
were
he
to
be
assaulted
?
"
"
Prior
,
"
said
Ivanhoe
,
"
thou
dost
mistake
--
I
am
stout
enough
to
exchange
buffets
with
any
who
will
challenge
me
to
such
a
traffic
--
But
were
it
otherwise
,
may
I
not
aid
him
were
he
in
danger
,
by
other
means
than
by
force
of
arms
?
It
is
but
too
well
known
that
the
Saxons
love
not
the
Norman
race
,
and
who
knows
what
may
be
the
issue
,
if
he
break
in
upon
them
when
their
hearts
are
irritated
by
the
death
of
Athelstane
,
and
their
heads
heated
by
the
carousal
in
which
they
will
indulge
themselves
?
I
hold
his
entrance
among
them
at
such
a
moment
most
perilous
,
and
I
am
resolved
to
share
or
avert
the
danger
;
which
,
that
I
may
the
better
do
,
I
would
crave
of
thee
the
use
of
some
palfrey
whose
pace
may
be
softer
than
that
of
my
destrier
.
"
"
Surely
,
"
said
the
worthy
churchman
;
"
you
shall
have
mine
own
ambling
jennet
,
and
I
would
it
ambled
as
easy
for
your
sake
as
that
of
the
Abbot
of
Saint
Albans
.
Yet
this
will
I
say
for
Malkin
,
for
so
I
call
her
,
that
unless
you
were
to
borrow
a
ride
on
the
juggler
's
steed
that
paces
a
hornpipe
amongst
the
eggs
,
you
could
not
go
a
journey
on
a
creature
so
gentle
and
smooth-paced
.
I
have
composed
many
a
homily
on
her
back
,
to
the
edification
of
my
brethren
of
the
convent
,
and
many
poor
Christian
souls
.
"
"
I
pray
you
,
reverend
father
,
"
said
Ivanhoe
,
"
let
Malkin
be
got
ready
instantly
,
and
bid
Gurth
attend
me
with
mine
arms
.
"
"
Nay
,
but
fair
sir
,
"
said
the
Prior
,
"
I
pray
you
to
remember
that
Malkin
hath
as
little
skill
in
arms
as
her
master
,
and
that
I
warrant
not
her
enduring
the
sight
or
weight
of
your
full
panoply
.
O
,
Malkin
,
I
promise
you
,
is
a
beast
of
judgment
,
and
will
contend
against
any
undue
weight
--
I
did
but
borrow
the
Fructus
Temporum
from
the
priest
of
Saint
Bees
,
and
I
promise
you
she
would
not
stir
from
the
gate
until
I
had
exchanged
the
huge
volume
for
my
little
breviary
.
"
"
Trust
me
,
holy
father
,
"
said
Ivanhoe
,
"
I
will
not
distress
her
with
too
much
weight
;
and
if
she
calls
a
combat
with
me
,
it
is
odds
but
she
has
the
worst
.
"
This
reply
was
made
while
Gurth
was
buckling
on
the
Knight
's
heels
a
pair
of
large
gilded
spurs
,
capable
of
convincing
any
restive
horse
that
his
best
safety
lay
in
being
conformable
to
the
will
of
his
rider
.
The
deep
and
sharp
rowels
with
which
Ivanhoe
's
heels
were
now
armed
,
began
to
make
the
worthy
Prior
repent
of
his
courtesy
,
and
ejaculate
,
--
"
Nay
,
but
fair
sir
,
now
I
bethink
me
,
my
Malkin
abideth
not
the
spur
--
Better
it
were
that
you
tarry
for
the
mare
of
our
manciple
down
at
the
Grange
,
which
may
be
had
in
little
more
than
an
hour
,
and
can
not
but
be
tractable
,
in
respect
that
she
draweth
much
of
our
winter
fire-wood
,
and
eateth
no
corn
.
