Lead me to your chieftain, Grimbeard, who, I hope, is well. Or shall I show you the road?" "Yes, if you know it. Art thou a wizard?" "Nay, only a poor friar. Am I to lead or follow?" "Lead, by all means. Then we shall know that thou canst do so." Martin, nothing loth, walked forward boldly, Ginepro more timidly by his side. They were such wild-looking outlaws.
"It is a long tale; another day I will tell thee. Now, wilt thou come with me, and give thy word to Grimbeard not to attempt to escape till thy messenger returns?" It was done, and Ralph and Martin strolled around the camp in conversation that entire evening.
Martin, on the other hand, maintained that the question was settled by Divine providence, and that the governors of alien blood were now the kings and magistrates to whom, according to Saint Paul, obedience was due. If two centuries did not establish prescriptive right, how long a period would? "No length of time," replied Grimbeard.
"Hang him," said Grimbeard, and hanged he would doubtless have been, for a dozen hands were busy at once in their cruel glee; some seizing upon the victim, some mocking his pronunciation, some preparing the rope, two or three boys climbing the tree like monkeys, to assist in drawing it over a sufficiently stout branch to bear the human weight, while the poor Gaul stood shivering below; when Martin threw his left arm around the victim, and raised his crucifix on high with the other.
The outlaws had but tended their own wounded, washed off the stains of the conflict, refreshed themselves with copious draughts of ale or mead, ere they placed a seat of judgment for Grimbeard under a great spreading beech which grew in the centre of the camp, and all the population of the place turned out to see the tragedy or comedy which was about to be enacted.
