Whether it were that Conrade had some slight amount of consideration for the limbs of his lesser followers, or whether the fact were what Rachel did not remotely imagine that he was less utterly unmanageable with her sister than with herself, certain it is that the brothers went into still more intolerable places, and treated their guardian as ducklings treat an old hen.
"Attend to what your Aunt Rachel says, my dear; she wants to find out what books you should have." "Yes, let me examine you." Conrade came most inconveniently close to her; she pushed her chair back; he came after her. His mother uttered a remonstrating, "My dear!" "I thought she wanted to examine me," quoth Conrade. "When Dr. M'Vicar examines a thing, he puts it under a microscope."
Not for his manifold treasons not for the attempt which, as may be vouched by his own squire, he instigated against King Richard's life not that he pursued the Prince of Scotland and myself in the desert, reducing us to save our lives by the speed of our horses not that he had stirred up the Maronites to attack us upon this very occasion, had I not brought up unexpectedly so many Arabs as rendered the scheme abortive not for any or all of these crimes does he now lie there, although each were deserving such a doom but because, scarce half an hour ere he polluted our presence, as the simoom empoisons the atmosphere, he poniarded his comrade and accomplice, Conrade of Montserrat, lest he should confess the infamous plots in which they had both been engaged."
"Thank you; but what is that box?" in obedience to a curious push and pull from Conrade. "It is her dispensary," said Grace. "Yes," said Rachel, "you are weak and nervous, and I have just the thing for you." "Is it homoeopathy?" "Yes, here is my book. I have done great things in my district, and should do more but for prejudice.
The first instructions led to an appointment for more, one contest to another, and the curate was becoming almost as regular a croquet player as Conrade himself, not conversing much but sure to be in his place; and showing a dexterity and precision that always made Lady Temple pleased to have him on her side, and exclaim with delight at his hits as a public benefit to the cause, or thank him with real gratitude when he croqued her or one of her sons out of a difficulty.
Rachel, in hot haste, warned them against taking birds'-nests in general, and that in particular. "Nests are made to be taken," said Francis. "I've got an egg of all the Australian birds the Major could get me," said Conrade, "and I mean to have all the English ones." "Oh, one egg; there's no harm in taking that; but this nest has young birds."
The Templars, the Genoese, and the Germans declared for Philip and Conrade; the Flemings, the Pisans, the Knights of the Hospital of St. John, adhered to Richard and Lusignan. Vinisauf, p. 342.
Such was the state of politics and opinions entertained by the Archduke of Austria, when Conrade of Montserrat resolved upon employing his jealousy of England as the means of dissolving, or loosening at least, the league of the Crusaders.
Ascalon, Laodicea, Gabala, Sidon, Nazareth, and Bethlehem opened their gates to the victorious Saladin, who, indeed, found no town of consequence able to resist his arms except Tyre, garrisoned by a body of excellent soldiers under the gallant Conrade. All the inhabitants took arms, and even the women shot arrows from the walls, or assisted in strengthening the fortifications.
The vision fled, Conrade, but as I awaked I could still hear the clank of their mail, and see the waving of their white mantles. And I will do according to their word, I WILL purify the fabric of the Temple! and the unclean stones in which the plague is, I will remove and cast out of the building."
