The abbess may remember you, for we have met her, and at least she will not refuse Rosamund a refuge." "Yes, yes; I mind me she asked us news of folk in England.

But you?
Where do you go, Godwin ?" said his brother.
"I?
I ride back to Ascalon to find Masouda." "Why ?" asked Wulf.

"Cannot Masouda save herself, as she told her uncle, the Arab, she would do?
And has he not returned thither to take her away ?" "I do not know," answered Godwin; "but this I do know, that for the sake of Rosamund, and perhaps for my sake also, Masouda has run a fearful risk.

Bethink you, what will be the mood of Saladin when at length he finds that she upon whom he had built such hopes has gone, leaving a waiting woman decked out in her attire." "Oh!" broke in Rosamund.

"I feared it, but I awoke to find myself disguised, and she persuaded me that all was well; also that this was done by the will of Wulf, whom she thought would escape." "That is the worst of if," said Godwin.
