"I fear that in that business we all had a hand, nevertheless your order shall be obeyed. To tell you the truth, lady, I hate the fellow, who is but a common spy." "I desire also," went on Rosamund, "to speak no more with Sir Hugh Lozelle." "That is more difficult," said Hassan, "since he is the captain whom my master ordered me to obey in all things that have to do with the ship."
Here, I will not fight with you, but Salah-ed-din shall learn all this case when we reach his court, and judge between the word of the princess of Baalbec and of his hired servant, the false Frank and pirate, Sir Hugh Lozelle." "Let him learn it when we reach his court," answered Lozelle, with meaning; then added, "Have you aught else to say to me, prince Hassan?
There I was imprisoned, but not close, and then it was that I saw Lozelle, or, at least, a Christian man who had some such name, and, as he seemed to be in favour with the Saracens, I begged him to intercede for me.
This evening I bid her, and you to my banquet. Till then, farewell. Woman," he added to Masouda, "accompany them. You know your duties; this lady is in your charge. Suffer that no strange man comes near her above all, the Frank Lozelle.
If they still live, kill that traitor Nicholas and Hugh Lozelle, but, save in open war, spare the Emir Hassan, who did but do his duty as an Eastern reads it, and shown some mercy, for he could have slain or burnt us all. This riddle has been hard for me; yet now, in my dying hour, I seem to see its answer. I think that Saladin did not dream in vain.
And she one woman alone was on this ship with the evil man Lozelle, who thus had kept his promise, and there were none save Easterns to protect her, none save them and God, Who had permitted that such things should be. The ship swayed, she grew sick and faint. Hassan brought her food with his own hands, but she loathed it who only desired to die.
"Another, then; not Hugh Lozelle," said Godwin, "since he cannot write, and if he could, would never pen words so knightly." "The words may be knightly, but the writer's deeds were base enough," replied Sir Andrew; "nor, in truth do I understand this scroll." "The interpreter spoke of the short man as his master," suggested Wulf. "Ay, nephew; but him you met.
"His palmer must travel back to the East before my uncle Saladin can have our answer." "Ay," said Sir Andrew; "perhaps we have a year." "What of the attack on the quay?" asked Godwin, who had been thinking. "The knight Lozelle was named there. Yet if Saladin had to do with it, it seems strange that the blow should have come before the word."
The black horse of Lozelle grew dim in the distance of the moonlit bridge, and vanished beneath the farther archway that led to the outer city. Then a herald cried, Masouda translating his words, which another herald echoed from beyond the gulf. "Thrice will the trumpets blow. At the third blast of the trumpets the knights shall charge and meet in the centre of the bridge.
I will not talk with a man who has been struck in the face until he has washed away the blow in blood." As Masouda finished translating, and before Lozelle could answer, the lord Sinan moved his head, whereon guards sprang forward and conducted Lozelle from the terrace. "Farewell, Sir Thief," cried Wulf after him, "till we meet again upon the narrow bridge and there settle our account.
