The knights still sat in silence, as if spell-bound, while Father Omehr calmly went on with his narrative: "The monarch swore to observe the compact inviolably.

Henry of Stramen saw that all his brilliant achievements against the family of Hers were only unjustifiable murders and robberies, and his haughty spirit was humbled and contrite. Father Omehr saw their contrition, but he was entirely absorbed in the penitent Bertha.
Father Omehr, who rightly judged that his rude intrusion must have been caused by no ordinary occurrence, rose, and in a whisper commanded him to explain himself. "Bertha seems adying!" said the man.

Shall every faithful shepherd be supplanted, to make room for the wolf of lay investiture, the instrument of a lustful tyrant, raised by simony, and upheld by royal favor?" Gilbert's light slumber had been broken by the voice of his benefactor.
