"A count's leudes are matches for royal leudes!" "The polish of the steel does not make its temper."

At the bishop's voice, Chram's servants and slaves, all of whom were terrified by the seemingly sudden storm, threw themselves upon their knees; most of the Prince's cortege likewise leaped down from their horses and knelt, in no less consternation than the slaves and servants at the sight of the sun's face suddenly darkened when the Lion of Poitiers threatened the bishop with his switch.
"The precipitate tramp of galloping horses was heard approaching, also the clank of armors, and even voices, that, although confused, sounded furious. "'It is my husband! cried Chram's wife, growing deadly pale. 'But his father is pursuing him! Do you not hear those cries of death? "Imnachair listened. 'Yes, said he; 'it is the voice of King Clotaire! Flee, madam; flee, you and your children!

"Were that woman and children Chram's family? It has always seemed strange to me that such monsters should at all have families."
I forbid you the mountebank has placed himself under the protection of Chram and of us, his men." "Companions!" cried Sigefrid, "shall we tolerate the heaping of insults upon our count?" "Just listen to the rustic brutes!" observed aloud one of Chram's warriors, "listen to them, barking as ever, without daring to bite."
