"I think the mischief must all have been done by that game at whist." "Then I'll never play again in my life! I only thought he was an old man that wanted amusing ." Then as one of the children peeped in at the window, and was called back "O dear! how shall I ever look at Conrade again, now any one has thought I could forget his father?"
The French, who had suffered less than their allies, were sooner ready to take the field against the Saracens; and after proving their arms in a few unimportant skirmishes, they resolved to lay siege to Damascus in concert with the battalions of Conrade. But the evil genius of intrigue defeated their designs.
And even when the extreme danger subsided, and Francis Temple was known to be better, Rachel found that her sorrow was not yet ended: for Conrade had been brought home with the symptoms of the complaint Conrade, the most beloved and loving of Fanny's little ones, the only one who really remembered his father, was in exceeding, almost hopeless peril, watched day and night by his mother and Miss Williams.
"Good-bye. Thank you, oh, thank you. You will come soon. Oh, do come on now." "Do come on now," was echoed by many voices. "I leave you in good hands. Good-bye." "Good-bye. Conrade dear, see what Cyril is doing; never mind, Wilfred, the Major will come and see us; run on with Coombe."
"I know not but from circumstances," answered Conrade. "Yonder hangs his banner alone in the midst of our camp, as if he were king and generalissimo of our whole Christian army." "And do you endure this so patiently, and speak of it so coldly?" said the Archduke.
"Not while Conrade continues to brave me, and is backed up by poor Fanny." "I might speak to Miss Williams after church, and bring her in to Myrtlewood for Fanny to see." "Yes, that might do in time; but I shall make up my mind first. Poor Fanny is so easily led that we must take care what influences fall in her way." "I always wished you would call."
Of the latter class were the Marquis Conrade and the Grand Master of the Templars, who retired together to their quarters ill at ease, and malcontent with the events of the day. "I ever told it to thee," said the latter, with the cold, sardonic expression peculiar to him, "that Richard would burst through the flimsy wiles you spread for him, as would a lion through a spider's web.
The Archduke of Austria was in no hurry to perform this part of the ceremony, having had rather an unusually severe debauch upon wine of Shiraz the preceding evening. But the Grand Master of the Temple, more deeply concerned in the event of the combat, was early before the tent of Conrade of Montserrat. To his great surprise, the attendants refused him admittance.
"Prate not to me, but depart from this tent," said the Grand Master; "the Marquis shall not confess this morning, unless it be to me, for I part not from his side." "Is this YOUR pleasure?" said the hermit to Conrade; "for think not I will obey that proud man, if you continue to desire my assistance." "Alas," said Conrade irresolutely, "what would you have me say?
Conrade arose boldly to answer, and in despite, as he expressed himself, of man and brute, king or dog, avouched his innocence of the crime charged. "Brother of England," said Philip, who willingly assumed the character of moderator of the assembly, "this is an unusual impeachment.
