The
guests
,
though
still
agape
with
astonishment
,
pledged
their
resuscitated
landlord
,
who
thus
proceeded
in
his
story
:
--
He
had
indeed
now
many
more
auditors
than
those
to
whom
it
was
commenced
,
for
Edith
,
having
given
certain
necessary
orders
for
arranging
matters
within
the
Castle
,
had
followed
the
dead-alive
up
to
the
stranger
's
apartment
attended
by
as
many
of
the
guests
,
male
and
female
,
as
could
squeeze
into
the
small
room
,
while
others
,
crowding
the
staircase
,
caught
up
an
erroneous
edition
of
the
story
,
and
transmitted
it
still
more
inaccurately
to
those
beneath
,
who
again
sent
it
forth
to
the
vulgar
without
,
in
a
fashion
totally
irreconcilable
to
the
real
fact
.
Athelstane
,
however
,
went
on
as
follows
,
with
the
history
of
his
escape
:
--
"
Finding
myself
freed
from
the
staple
,
I
dragged
myself
up
stairs
as
well
as
a
man
loaded
with
shackles
,
and
emaciated
with
fasting
,
might
;
and
after
much
groping
about
,
I
was
at
length
directed
,
by
the
sound
of
a
jolly
roundelay
,
to
the
apartment
where
the
worthy
Sacristan
,
an
it
so
please
ye
,
was
holding
a
devil
's
mass
with
a
huge
beetle-browed
,
broad-shouldered
brother
of
the
grey-frock
and
cowl
,
who
looked
much
more
like
a
thief
than
a
clergyman
.
I
burst
in
upon
them
,
and
the
fashion
of
my
grave-clothes
,
as
well
as
the
clanking
of
my
chains
,
made
me
more
resemble
an
inhabitant
of
the
other
world
than
of
this
.
Both
stood
aghast
;
but
when
I
knocked
down
the
Sacristan
with
my
fist
,
the
other
fellow
,
his
pot-companion
,
fetched
a
blow
at
me
with
a
huge
quarter-staff
.
"
"
This
must
be
our
Friar
Tuck
,
for
a
count
's
ransom
,
"
said
Richard
,
looking
at
Ivanhoe
.
"
He
may
be
the
devil
,
an
he
will
,
"
said
Athelstane
.
"
Fortunately
he
missed
the
aim
;
and
on
my
approaching
to
grapple
with
him
,
took
to
his
heels
and
ran
for
it
.
I
failed
not
to
set
my
own
heels
at
liberty
by
means
of
the
fetter-key
,
which
hung
amongst
others
at
the
sexton
's
belt
;
and
I
had
thoughts
of
beating
out
the
knave
's
brains
with
the
bunch
of
keys
,
but
gratitude
for
the
nook
of
pasty
and
the
flask
of
wine
which
the
rascal
had
imparted
to
my
captivity
,
came
over
my
heart
;
so
,
with
a
brace
of
hearty
kicks
,
I
left
him
on
the
floor
,
pouched
some
baked
meat
,
and
a
leathern
bottle
of
wine
,
with
which
the
two
venerable
brethren
had
been
regaling
,
went
to
the
stable
,
and
found
in
a
private
stall
mine
own
best
palfrey
,
which
,
doubtless
,
had
been
set
apart
for
the
holy
Father
Abbot
's
particular
use
.
Hither
I
came
with
all
the
speed
the
beast
could
compass
--
man
and
mother
's
son
flying
before
me
wherever
I
came
,
taking
me
for
a
spectre
,
the
more
especially
as
,
to
prevent
my
being
recognised
,
I
drew
the
corpse-hood
over
my
face
.
I
had
not
gained
admittance
into
my
own
castle
,
had
I
not
been
supposed
to
be
the
attendant
of
a
juggler
who
is
making
the
people
in
the
castle-yard
very
merry
,
considering
they
are
assembled
to
celebrate
their
lord
's
funeral
--
I
say
the
sewer
thought
I
was
dressed
to
bear
a
part
in
the
tregetour
's
mummery
,
and
so
I
got
admission
,
and
did
but
disclose
myself
to
my
mother
,
and
eat
a
hasty
morsel
,
ere
I
came
in
quest
of
you
,
my
noble
friend
.
"
"
And
you
have
found
me
,
"
said
Cedric
,
"
ready
to
resume
our
brave
projects
of
honour
and
liberty
.
I
tell
thee
,
never
will
dawn
a
morrow
so
auspicious
as
the
next
,
for
the
deliverance
of
the
noble
Saxon
race
.
"
"
Talk
not
to
me
of
delivering
any
one
,
"
said
Athelstane
;
"
it
is
well
I
am
delivered
myself
.
I
am
more
intent
on
punishing
that
villain
Abbot
.
He
shall
hang
on
the
top
of
this
Castle
of
Coningsburgh
,
in
his
cope
and
stole
;
and
if
the
stairs
be
too
strait
to
admit
his
fat
carcass
,
I
will
have
him
craned
up
from
without
.
"
"
But
,
my
son
,
"
said
Edith
,
"
consider
his
sacred
office
.
"
"
Consider
my
three
days
'
fast
,
"
replied
Athelstane
;
"
I
will
have
their
blood
every
one
of
them
.
Front-de-Boeuf
was
burnt
alive
for
a
less
matter
,
for
he
kept
a
good
table
for
his
prisoners
,
only
put
too
much
garlic
in
his
last
dish
of
pottage
.
But
these
hypocritical
,
ungrateful
slaves
,
so
often
the
self-invited
flatterers
at
my
board
,
who
gave
me
neither
pottage
nor
garlic
,
more
or
less
,
they
die
,
by
the
soul
of
Hengist
!
