Whoever
shall
call
thee
Saxon
,
Sir
Baron
,
"
replied
Cedric
,
offended
at
a
mode
of
expression
by
which
the
Normans
frequently
expressed
their
habitual
contempt
of
the
English
,
"
will
do
thee
an
honour
as
great
as
it
is
undeserved
.
"
Front-de-Boeuf
would
have
replied
,
but
Prince
John
's
petulance
and
levity
got
the
start
.
"
Assuredly
,
"
said
be
,
"
my
lords
,
the
noble
Cedric
speaks
truth
;
and
his
race
may
claim
precedence
over
us
as
much
in
the
length
of
their
pedigrees
as
in
the
longitude
of
their
cloaks
.
"
"
They
go
before
us
indeed
in
the
field
--
as
deer
before
dogs
,
"
said
Malvoisin
.
"
And
with
good
right
may
they
go
before
us
--
forget
not
,
"
said
the
Prior
Aymer
,
"
the
superior
decency
and
decorum
of
their
manners
.
"
"
Their
singular
abstemiousness
and
temperance
,
"
said
De
Bracy
,
forgetting
the
plan
which
promised
him
a
Saxon
bride
.
"
Together
with
the
courage
and
conduct
,
"
said
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
,
"
by
which
they
distinguished
themselves
at
Hastings
and
elsewhere
.
"
While
,
with
smooth
and
smiling
cheek
,
the
courtiers
,
each
in
turn
,
followed
their
Prince
's
example
,
and
aimed
a
shaft
of
ridicule
at
Cedric
,
the
face
of
the
Saxon
became
inflamed
with
passion
,
and
he
glanced
his
eyes
fiercely
from
one
to
another
,
as
if
the
quick
succession
of
so
many
injuries
had
prevented
his
replying
to
them
in
turn
;
or
,
like
a
baited
bull
,
who
,
surrounded
by
his
tormentors
,
is
at
a
loss
to
choose
from
among
them
the
immediate
object
of
his
revenge
.
At
length
he
spoke
,
in
a
voice
half
choked
with
passion
;
and
,
addressing
himself
to
Prince
John
as
the
head
and
front
of
the
offence
which
he
had
received
,
"
Whatever
,
"
he
said
,
"
have
been
the
follies
and
vices
of
our
race
,
a
Saxon
would
have
been
held
nidering
,
"
(
the
most
emphatic
term
for
abject
worthlessness
,
)
"
who
should
in
his
own
hall
,
and
while
his
own
wine-cup
passed
,
have
treated
,
or
suffered
to
be
treated
,
an
unoffending
guest
as
your
highness
has
this
day
beheld
me
used
;
and
whatever
was
the
misfortune
of
our
fathers
on
the
field
of
Hastings
,
those
may
at
least
be
silent
,
"
here
he
looked
at
Front-de-Boeuf
and
the
Templar
,
"
who
have
within
these
few
hours
once
and
again
lost
saddle
and
stirrup
before
the
lance
of
a
Saxon
.
"
"
By
my
faith
,
a
biting
jest
!
"
said
Prince
John
.
"
How
like
you
it
,
sirs
?
--
Our
Saxon
subjects
rise
in
spirit
and
courage
;
become
shrewd
in
wit
,
and
bold
in
bearing
,
in
these
unsettled
times
--
What
say
ye
,
my
lords
?
--
By
this
good
light
,
I
hold
it
best
to
take
our
galleys
,
and
return
to
Normandy
in
time
.
