But afterwards we thought that it might be wise to offer them to the goddess to appease her, you know. Oh! how dared we plight our mortal troth there in her very shrine and presence, and I her twice-sworn servant? It was insult heaped on sacrilege." "At a guess, because love is stronger than fear," I replied. "But it seems that you dreamed a little longer than I did.
As to Herdegen, verily I have never understood how he could find it in his heart to peril his life for the sake of keeping his word to a vagabond hussy while, at the same time, he was breaking troth with the fairest and sweetest maid on earth.
He tried to recall just what he had said to her last night that he was still an outlaw, and would always be, no matter how well he lived from this day on; and that she, now that she had Father John's protection, was very foolish to care for him, or keep her troth with him, and would be happier if she could forget what had happened at Cragg's Ridge. "You're a woman now," he said.
'Twas the man who had usurped his father's place as Head Forester, and who had roughly turned his mother out in the snow. But never a word said he for good or bad, and would have passed on his way, had not this man, clearing his throat with a huge gulp, bellowed out: "By my troth, here is a pretty little archer! Where go you, my lad, with that tupenny bow and toy arrows?
"Troth, and ye're nane sae ill aff," said he. "I thought that would maybe vary your opinions," said I. "Hout!" said he. "It shaws me ye can bribe; but I'm no to be bribit." "We'll see about that yet a while," says I. "And first, I'll show you that I know what I am talking. You have orders to detain me here till Thursday, 21st September." "Ye're no a'thegether wrong either," says Andie.
That is truth, said Sir Sagramore, that have we well proved; but I require thee, said Sir Sagramore, tell us your right name, by the faith and troth that ye owe to the high order of knighthood. Ye charge me with a great thing, said Sir Tristram, and sithen ye list to wit it, ye shall know and understand that my name is Sir Tristram de Liones, King Meliodas' son, and nephew unto King Mark.
Thence take red-glowing gold, that the troth may be made firm by the gift, and that the faith to be brought to our wedlock may stand fast." Thus speaking, he cast off his disguises, and revealed his natural comeliness; and by a single sight of him he filled the damsel with well-nigh as much joy as he had struck her with fear before at his counterfeit.
When they saw the chaise at the door which was to carry me away, their acclamations suddenly ceased "But is he going? But can't he stay? And is he going this minute? troth it's a pity, and a great pity!" Again and again these honest people insisted upon taking leave of me, and I could not force myself away without difficulty.
"We will not stay here," said Gernot. "Since my sister and great Etzel have bidden us so lovingly, why should we refuse? He that will not with us may tarry at home." "By my troth," said Rumolt, "I, for one, will never cross the Rhine for Etzel's hightide. Why should I hazard what I have? I will live while I may." "I am of thy mind for that," said knight Ortwin.
"Troth, there's nae gainsaying that, sir," replied Moniplies; "there were enow to see it besides me." "And you pretend that his Majesty flung it from him with contempt?" said the citizen. "Take heed, for I have means of knowing the truth; and you were better up to the neck in the Nor-Loch, which you like so well, than tell a leasing where his Majesty's name is concerned."
