"My lord," he said, in English, "Sir Gervaise Tresham, he speaks Turkish same as I do.

If he dress up in Turk clothes I suppose him Turk, not know he Christian by his speech." Exclamations of surprise broke from the young knights.
"Well, you have earned the appointment, Tresham," Ralph Harcourt said heartily.

And can you read and write the Turkish language ?" "Well enough for practical purposes, Ralph.

At any rate, I wrote a complimentary letter this morning from the grand master to the governor of Syria, and the bailiff of Spain, who was, as you know, for ten years a prisoner among the Turks, read it through at D'Aubusson's request, to see that there was no error in it, and was good enough to pass it without alteration." "I would give a good deal," Sir Giles Trevor said, "if I could follow your example, and shut myself up for nine months with an infidel to study his language; but I could not do it if my life depended on it.
