Something
more
potent
than
that
,
"
answered
the
Jester
;
"
for
when
would
repentance
or
prayer
make
Gurth
do
a
courtesy
,
or
fasting
or
vigil
persuade
him
to
lend
you
a
mule
?
--
l
trow
you
might
as
well
have
told
his
favourite
black
boar
of
thy
vigils
and
penance
,
and
wouldst
have
gotten
as
civil
an
answer
.
"
"
Go
to
,
"
said
the
Pilgrim
,
"
thou
art
but
a
Saxon
fool
.
"
"
Thou
sayst
well
,
"
said
the
Jester
;
"
had
I
been
born
a
Norman
,
as
I
think
thou
art
,
I
would
have
had
luck
on
my
side
,
and
been
next
door
to
a
wise
man
.
"
At
this
moment
Gurth
appeared
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
moat
with
the
mules
.
The
travellers
crossed
the
ditch
upon
a
drawbridge
of
only
two
planks
breadth
,
the
narrowness
of
which
was
matched
with
the
straitness
of
the
postern
,
and
with
a
little
wicket
in
the
exterior
palisade
,
which
gave
access
to
the
forest
.
No
sooner
had
they
reached
the
mules
,
than
the
Jew
,
with
hasty
and
trembling
hands
,
secured
behind
the
saddle
a
small
bag
of
blue
buckram
,
which
he
took
from
under
his
cloak
,
containing
,
as
be
muttered
,
"
a
change
of
raiment
--
only
a
change
of
raiment
.
"
Then
getting
upon
the
animal
with
more
alacrity
and
haste
than
could
have
been
anticipated
from
his
years
,
he
lost
no
time
in
so
disposing
of
the
skirts
of
his
gabardine
as
to
conceal
completely
from
observation
the
burden
which
he
had
thus
deposited
"
en
croupe
"
.
The
Pilgrim
mounted
with
more
deliberation
,
reaching
,
as
he
departed
,
his
hand
to
Gurth
,
who
kissed
it
with
the
utmost
possible
veneration
.
The
swineherd
stood
gazing
after
the
travellers
until
they
were
lost
under
the
boughs
of
the
forest
path
,
when
he
was
disturbed
from
his
reverie
by
the
voice
of
Wamba
.
"
Knowest
thou
,
"
said
the
Jester
,
"
my
good
friend
Gurth
,
that
thou
art
strangely
courteous
and
most
unwontedly
pious
on
this
summer
morning
?
I
would
I
were
a
black
Prior
or
a
barefoot
Palmer
,
to
avail
myself
of
thy
unwonted
zeal
and
courtesy
--
certes
,
I
would
make
more
out
of
it
than
a
kiss
of
the
hand
.
"
"
Thou
art
no
fool
thus
far
,
Wamba
,
"
answered
Gurth
,
"
though
thou
arguest
from
appearances
,
and
the
wisest
of
us
can
do
no
more
--
But
it
is
time
to
look
after
my
charge
.
"
So
saying
,
he
turned
back
to
the
mansion
,
attended
by
the
Jester
.
Meanwhile
the
travellers
continued
to
press
on
their
journey
with
a
dispatch
which
argued
the
extremity
of
the
Jew
's
fears
,
since
persons
at
his
age
are
seldom
fond
of
rapid
motion
.
The
Palmer
,
to
whom
every
path
and
outlet
in
the
wood
appeared
to
be
familiar
,
led
the
way
through
the
most
devious
paths
,
and
more
than
once
excited
anew
the
suspicion
of
the
Israelite
,
that
he
intended
to
betray
him
into
some
ambuscade
of
his
enemies
.
