Malvoisin, then, acting as godfather of the champion, stepped forward, and laid the glove of the Jewess, which was the pledge of battle, at the feet of the Grand Master. "Hath he made oath," said the Grand Master, "that his quarrel is just and honourable? Bring forward the Crucifix and the 'Te igitur'."
"I, Giles de Malvoisin, knight banneret," said an old warrior armed cap-a-pie, who had fought in France under the hero Talbot. "Then, sir," said the duchess, with majesty, "to your hands I confide the eldest daughter of your king. Lead on! we follow you. Elizabeth, lean on me." With this, supporting Elizabeth, and leading her second grandchild, the duchess left the chamber.
Yet think not that I care for thy company, or propose myself advantage by it; remain here if thou wilt Cedric the Saxon may protect thee." "Alas!" said the Jew, "he will not let me travel in his train Saxon or Norman will be equally ashamed of the poor Israelite; and to travel by myself through the domains of Philip de Malvoisin and Reginald Front-de-Boeuf Good youth, I will go with you!
"'Tis false I will myself take arms in her behalf," answered the Templar, haughtily; "and, should I do so, I think, Malvoisin, that thou knowest not one of the Order, who will keep his saddle before the point of my lance." "Ay, but thou forgettest," said the wily adviser, "thou wilt have neither leisure nor opportunity to execute this mad project.
"True," said Bois-Guilbert; "if no champion appears, I am but a part of the pageant, sitting indeed on horseback in the lists, but having no part in what is to follow." "None whatever," said Malvoisin; "no more than the armed image of Saint George when it makes part of a procession." "Well, I will resume my resolution," replied the haughty Templar.
"Tempter," said Rebecca, "begone! Not in this last extremity canst thou move me one hair's-breadth from my resting place surrounded as I am by foes, I hold thee as my worst and most deadly enemy avoid thee, in the name of God!" Albert Malvoisin, alarmed and impatient at the duration of their conference, now advanced to interrupt it.
"Albert de Malvoisin, it is," answered Beaumanoir; "for in this appeal to the judgment of God, we may not prohibit parties from having that communication with each other, which may best tend to bring forth the truth of the quarrel."
Eustace muttered something in excuse which I could not understand, and I thought was only laxity on his part. I told him that, if such things were to happen, his house was no home for me. And he began, "Come now, Lucy, I say, that's hard, when 'twas Harold, and not me, and all those fellows " "What fellows?" "Oh, Malvoisin and Nessy Horsman, you know."
After this fourth encounter, there was a considerable pause; nor did it appear that any one was very desirous of renewing the contest. The spectators murmured among themselves; for, among the challengers, Malvoisin and Front-de-Boeuf were unpopular from their characters, and the others, except Grantmesnil, were disliked as strangers and foreigners.
"I believe you, Dermot, but don't take him among those who want to do so." "That's your faith in your demigod," said Dermot, not able to resist a little teasing; but seeing I was really pained, he added: "No, Lucy, I'll never take him again to meet Malvoisin and Nessy Horsman.
