She crouched still nearer, her breath and words coming hard and quick. 'Twas indeed as if she spoke to a living man who heard as if she answered what he had said. "There would be men in England who would give it me," she raved, whispering. "That would there, I swear! But there would be dullards and dastards who would not. He would give it he! Ay, mock as thou wilt!
But far better had it been if we had had in our hands the great witch of these dastards, as we looked to have her; but now folk say that she has not been brought within gates, and it is to be feared that she hath slipped through our fingers once more." Roger laughed, and said: "Simple are ye folk of the Burg and know nought of her shifts.
Such a risk was really greater than his submission to etiquette exacted. There were bounds even to that, the aged chamberlain told himself. Gracious heavens! for him, an unquestioning papalino, a sincere believer in papal infallibility and the temporal power to hear the Holy Father called a renegade, and his faithful servants stigmatized as dastards! It was monstrous!
"Our last accounts leave him safe in the court of Louis," returned his companion; "but there are men as desperate as himself, who sail the ocean under the rebel flag, and from one or two of them we have had much reason to apprehend the vengeance of disappointed men. It is they that we hope we lost in this gale." "Hum! I hope they were dastards, or your hopes are a little unchristian, and "

So the Romans and their friends the dastards of the Goths had well nigh got all ready, and had driven stakes into the water from bank to bank to mark out the safe ford, and some of their light-armed and most of their Goths were by now in the water or up on the Wolfing meadow with the more part of their baggage and wains; and the rest of the host was drawn up in good order, band by band, waiting the word to take the water, and the captain was standing nigh to the river bank beside their God the chief banner of the Host.
At last the old man said: "My children, ye shall now come with me unto the Doom-ring of our folk, the Bears of the Southern Dales, and deliver to them your errand; and I beseech you to have pity upon your own bodies, as I have pity on them; on thine especially, Maiden, so fair and bright a creature as thou art; for so it is, that if ye deal us out light and lying words after the manner of dastards, ye shall miss the worship and glory of wending away amidst of the flames, a gift to the God and a hope to the people, and shall be passed by the rods of the folk, until ye faint and fail amongst them, and then shall ye be thrust down into the flow at the Dale's End, and a stone-laden hurdle cast upon you, that we may thenceforth forget your folly."
The walls were black with smoke, the floor strewn with broken images and dried crumbs of clay. In the center of the room was the spare figure, in white robes. Kenkenes had opened his lips to speak when the conversation among the trio stopped him. "Cowards! Dastards!" the spare man vociferated. "Is there not a patriot in Egypt?
