"Nay," answered the Arab in a low voice, "but she bade me be in a certain garden of which you have heard, near Ascalon, at an appointed hour, to take her away, as she is leaving the camp of Salah-ed-din.
Also you have not killed the crew and the Frankish woman, and they too will make report of the taking of the ship and the capture of this lady, who is of the house of Salah-ed-din and whom he seeks more earnestly than all the kingdom of the Franks. What have you to say?"
If you refuse to come, I will certainly put every one of them to the sword, save such of the women and children as may be kept for slaves. Decide, then, Niece, and quickly, whether you will return with my envoys, or bide where they find you. "Yusuf Salah-ed-din." Rosamund finished reading, and the letter fluttered from her hand down to the marble floor.
Then Sinan rose also, and cried with a loud voice: "Servants of Al-je-bal, pledge, I command you, this Flower of flowers, the high-born Princess of Baalbec, the niece of the Sultan, Salah-ed-din, whom men call the Great," and he sneered, "though he be not so great as I, this Queen of maids who soon " Then, checking himself, he drank off his wine, and with a low bow presented the empty, jewelled cup to Rosamund.
Then he gave his hand first to one and next to the other, and said, simply: "Sir Knights, Salah-ed-din owes his life to you. Should it ever come about that you owe your lives to Salah-ed-din, he will remember this." Thus this business ended.
"Sir captain," he began, addressing Lozelle, "the Princess here tells me a strange story that you have dared to offer your love to her, by Allah! to her, a niece of Salah-ed-din." "What of it, Sir Saracen?" answered Lozelle, insolently. "Is not a Christian knight fit mate for the blood of an Eastern chief? Had I offered her less than marriage, you might have spoken."
"Has Salah-ed-din servants such as these?" asked Sinan in the silence that followed. "Well, what they have done, all would do, if I bid them slay him. Back, now; and, if you will, take these Franks with you, who are my guests, that they may bear witness of what you have seen, and of the state in which you left their sister.

"I was wrong," said Wulf.

And I tell you that the occasion has not been taken it has been brought, yes, to your very door, and that all these things have happened that it might thus be brought." "Say on," said Saladin, gazing at him earnestly. "See now, Salah-ed-din, the princess Rosamund is in Jerusalem.
Well, this heretic sultan is my enemy whom Satan protects, for even my fedais have failed to kill him, and perhaps there will be war on account of you. But have no fear, for the price at which you shall be delivered to him is higher than Salah-ed-din himself would care to pay, even for you. So, since this castle is impregnable, here you may dwell at peace, nor shall any desire be denied you.
