"Assuredly," said Count Robert; "nor is there one wearing such a belt as this, to whom such a thought is stranger." "And as I understand," said Agelastes, "your lady shares with your honourable self in these valorous resolutions? Can this be?"
This conceit awaken'd Somnolentus made Agelastes smile and if you can recollect the precise look and air of a man's face intent in finding out a riddle it threw Gastripheres's into that form and in short was thought by many to be a master-stroke of arch-wit.
On the other hand, the greater part of the Immortal Guards, and those citizens who were prepared to play a part in the conspiracy, had been impressed by the agents of the deceased Agelastes with the opinion, that this band of Latins, commanded by Tancred, the relative of Bohemond, had been despatched by the latter to their assistance.
