"Neither do you need to, son of a chained monkey," retorted the boy, full of strong liquor and arrogance. "But I tell thee, I and my mate, Leh Shin, hold more than money between the finger and the thumb," he pinched his forefinger against a mutilated thumb. "More than money, see, fool; thou understandest nothing, thy brain is left along with thy chains in the Island which is known unto thee."
Upon any other boy such disrespect should be visited severely; but from thee, Jacob, I must add in the words of Caesar, `Et tu Brute, I expected, I had a right to expect, otherwise. In se animi ingrati crimen vitia omnia condit. Thou understandest me, Jacob guilty or not guilty?" "Not guilty, sir," replied I, firmly. "He pleadeth net guilty, Mr Knapps; proceed, then, to prove thy charge."
Thus thou seest how it stands with me, my honest friend, and in what mind I stand touching thy master's request to me; which yet I do not say that I can altogether, or unconditionally, grant or refuse, but only tell my simple thoughts with regard thereto. Thou understandest me, I doubt not?"
To some such choice as this has our poor country now come. Experience has taught us that she is incapable of uniting all her forces and of making of herself one compact, united kingdom. Understandest thou thus much?"
Besides," continued the Knight, lowering his voice, and shading his face, "I had vowed a pilgrimage to the beloved river, and the old trysting-place. Ah me! But all this, Brettone, thou understandest not let it pass.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Go back, and the instant Adam Warner and his contrivance are dismissed, bring them both to me in the king's chamber. Thou understandest? We too would see his device, and let neither man nor mechanical, when once they reappear, out of thine eye's reach. For divers and subtle are the contrivances of treasonable men!"
"Tush, father, the tempter would have been more wise than to reckon upon a faith which no ink and no parchment can render valid, if the Church absolve the compact. Thou understandest me, father?" "I do. I know your pious heart and well-judging mind."
And then I would die to show them death is easy, and that in dying they would come to me and find their happiness for ever!" The stature of the Angel grew more lofty and magnificent, and its star-like eyes flashed fire. "Then, oh thou wanderer from the Earth!" it said, "understandest thou not the Christ?" A deep awe trembled through me.
Understandest thou how to be born again?" "I understand not," Mary answered. "Yet the miracle I have seen. Once did I plant in the soil a root, brown like a dead leaf and wrinkled like a hag's face. It hath been born again. Lo here it is," and she took the red lily from the vase by Joseph's cup. "See its glad color? Smell its rare fragrance?
