You
hear
me
not
say
so
,
fair
sir
,
"
said
Wamba
;
"
it
may
relieve
a
man
's
steed
to
take
of
his
mail
when
he
hath
a
long
journey
to
make
;
and
,
certes
,
it
may
do
good
to
the
rider
's
soul
to
ease
him
of
that
which
is
the
root
of
evil
;
therefore
will
I
give
no
hard
names
to
those
who
do
such
services
.
Only
I
would
wish
my
mail
at
home
,
and
my
purse
in
my
chamber
,
when
I
meet
with
these
good
fellows
,
because
it
might
save
them
some
trouble
.
"
"
WE
are
bound
to
pray
for
them
,
my
friend
,
notwithstanding
the
fair
character
thou
dost
afford
them
.
"
"
Pray
for
them
with
all
my
heart
,
"
said
Wamba
;
"
but
in
the
town
,
not
in
the
greenwood
,
like
the
Abbot
of
Saint
Bees
,
whom
they
caused
to
say
mass
with
an
old
hollow
oak-tree
for
his
stall
.
"
"
Say
as
thou
list
,
Wamba
,
"
replied
the
Knight
,
"
these
yeomen
did
thy
master
Cedric
yeomanly
service
at
Torquilstone
.
"
"
Ay
,
truly
,
"
answered
Wamba
;
"
but
that
was
in
the
fashion
of
their
trade
with
Heaven
.
"
"
Their
trade
,
Wamba
!
how
mean
you
by
that
?
"
replied
his
companion
.
"
Marry
,
thus
,
"
said
the
Jester
.
"
They
make
up
a
balanced
account
with
Heaven
,
as
our
old
cellarer
used
to
call
his
ciphering
,
as
fair
as
Isaac
the
Jew
keeps
with
his
debtors
,
and
,
like
him
,
give
out
a
very
little
,
and
take
large
credit
for
doing
so
;
reckoning
,
doubtless
,
on
their
own
behalf
the
seven-fold
usury
which
the
blessed
text
hath
promised
to
charitable
loans
.
"
"
Give
me
an
example
of
your
meaning
,
Wamba
,
--
I
know
nothing
of
ciphers
or
rates
of
usage
,
"
answered
the
Knight
.
"
Why
,
"
said
Wamba
,
"
an
your
valour
be
so
dull
,
you
will
please
to
learn
that
those
honest
fellows
balance
a
good
deed
with
one
not
quite
so
laudable
;
as
a
crown
given
to
a
begging
friar
with
an
hundred
byzants
taken
from
a
fat
abbot
,
or
a
wench
kissed
in
the
greenwood
with
the
relief
of
a
poor
widow
.
"
"
Which
of
these
was
the
good
deed
,
which
was
the
felony
?
"
interrupted
the
Knight
.
