Stella said nothing; she was not moved to the defence of her brother. She was loyal enough to her blood, but not so intensely loyal that she could defend him against criticism that struck a responsive chord in her own mind.

Flaring torches, a swarm of eager black heads, whispers, grunting, the archers' plumed helmets "Madonna! What's all this?" cried the two girls together in a stew of curiosity. A dead Jew?

"Why, I do believe," he said, in a low voice, "it is a bit of monkey!"
