habitual�察�reckless�察�resolute merriment in the jovial face of the friar�察�and 

the cheerful�察�elastic spirits that played on the lips and sparkled in the eyes 

of   Matilda��would   have   presented   a   very   amusing   combination   to   Sir 

Ralph�察�if one of the three images in the group had not absorbed his total 

attention   with   feelings   of   intense   delight   very   nearly   allied   to   pain。  The

baron's     wrath   was    somewhat      counteracted      by   the  reflection    that  his 

daughter's   good   spirits   seemed   to   show   that   they   would   naturally   rise 

triumphant over all disappointments�察�and he had had sufficient experience 

of her humour to know that she might sometimes be led�察�but never could 

be driven。 Then�察�too�察�he was always delighted to hear her sing�察�though he 

was not at all pleased in this instance with the subject of her song。 Still he 

would have endured the subject for the sake of the melody of the treble�察�

but his mind was not sufficiently attuned to unison to relish the harmony 

of the bass。     The friar's accompaniment put him out of all patience�察�and 

;So�察─�he exclaimed�察 �this is the way�察�you teach my daughter to renounce 

the devil�察�is it�拭�A hunting friar�察�truly�       �Who ever heard before of a hunting 

friar�拭�A profane�察�roaring�察�bawling�察�bumper´bibbing�察�neck´breaking�察�catch´ 

singing friar�拭─�

     ;Under favour�察�bold baron�察─�said the friar�察�but the friar was warm with 

canary�察�and in his singing vein�察�and he could not go on in plain unmusical 

prose。    He therefore sang in a new tune�察�

       Though   I   be   now   a   grey�察  �grey   friar�察      �Yet   I   was   once   a   hale 

young knight�此       �The   cry  of   my  dogs   was   the   only  choir          In   which 

my     spirit  did  take   delight。   Little    I  recked   of  matin    bell�察        �But 

drowned its toll with my clanging horn�此              �And the only beads I loved to 

tell         Were the beads of dew on the spangled thorn。 

       The baron was going to storm�察�but the friar paused�察�and Matilda sang 

in repetition�察�

       Little I reck of matin bell�察           �But drown its toll with my clanging 

horn�此    �And the only beads I love to tell                 Are the beads of dew on 

the spangled thorn。 

       And then she and the friar sang the four lines together�察�and rang the 

changes upon them alternately。 

     Little I reck of matin bell�察�

     sang the friar。 

     ;A precious friar�察─�said the baron。 

       But drown its toll with my clanging horn�察�sang Matilda。 

     ;More shame for you�察─�said the baron。

       And the only beads I love to tell                Are the beads of dew on the 

spangled thorn�察�

     sang Matilda and the friar together。 

     ;Penitent and confessor�察─�said the baron�此           �a hopeful pair truly。; 

     The friar went on�察�

       An archer keen I was withal�察                �As ever did lean on greenwood 

tree�察   �And     could   make    the  fleetest   roebuck    fall�察        �A   good    three 

hundred      yards   from    me。   Though       changeful    time�察  �with   hand    severe�察�

Has   made   me   now   these   joys   forego�察    �Yet   my  heart   bounds   whene'er   I 

hear          Yoicks� �hark away� �and tally ho� �

       Matilda chimed in as before。 

     ;Are     you   mad�拭─    �said   the  baron。     ;Are     you   insane�拭    �Are     you 

possessed�拭�What do you mean�拭              �What in the devil's name do you both 

mean�拭─�

     Yoicks� �hark away� �and tally ho� �

     roared the friar。 

     The baron's pent´up wrath had accumulated like the waters above the 

dam of an overshot mill。          The pond´head of his passion being now filled 

to   the  utmost    limit  of   its  capacity�察 �and   beginning     to  overflow     in  the 

quivering of his lips and the flashing of his eyes�察�he pulled up all the flash´ 

boards   at   once�察  �and   gave   loose   to   the   full   torrent   of   his   indignation�察  �by 

seizing�察�like furious Ajax�察�not a messy stone more than two modern men 

could raise�察�but a vast dish of beef more than fifty ancient yeomen could 

eat�察�and whirled it like a coit�察�in terrorem�察�over the head of the friar�察�to the 

extremity of the apartment�察�

       Where it on oaken floor did settle�察          �With mighty din of ponderous 

metal。 

       ;Nay father�察─�said Matilda�察�taking the baron's hand�察 �do not harm the 

friar�此�he means not to offend you。          My gaiety never before displeased you。 

Least   of   all   should   it   do   so   now�察  �when   I   have   need   of   all   my   spirits   to 

outweigh the severity of my fortune。; 

     As she spoke the last   words�察�tears started into her eyes�察�which�察�as   if 

ashamed of the involuntary betraying of her feelings�察�she turned away to 



                                               26

conceal。      The baron was subdued at once。                He kissed his daughter�察�held 

out   his   hand   to   the   friar�察  �and   said�察   �Sing   on�察  �in   God's   name�察  �and   crack 

away the flasks till your voice swims in canary。; Then turning to Sir Ralph�察�

he said�察 �You see how it is�察�sir knight。 Matilda is my daughter�察�but she has 

me in leading´strings�察�that is the truth of it。;

                                 CHAPTER V 



        'T  is   true�察  �no   lover   has   that   power To   enforce   a   desperate   amour 

As   he   that   has   two   strings   to   his   bow And   burns   for   love   and   money 

too。BUTLER。 

       The friar had often had experience of the baron's testy humour�察�but it 

had always before confined itself to words�察�in which the habit of testiness 

often   mingled   more   expression   of   displeasure   than   the   internal   feeling 

prompted。 He knew the baron to be hot and choleric�察�but at the same time 

hospitable      and    generous�察     �passionately      fond    of   his   daughter�察   �often 

thwarting   her   in   seeming�察  �but   always   yielding   to   her   in   fact。   The   early 

attachment   between   Matilda   and   the   Earl   of   Huntingdon   had   given   the 

baron   no   serious   reason   to   interfere   with   her   habits   and   pursuits�察  �which 

were so congenial to those of her lover�察�and not being over´burdened with 

orthodoxy�察�that is to say�察�not being seasoned with more of the salt of the 

spirit    than    was    necessary     to   preserve    him     from    excommunication�察�

confiscation�察�and philotheoparoptesism�撮�1�А�he was not sorry to encourage 

his daughter's choice of her confessor in brother Michael�察�who had more 

jollity   and   less   hypocrisy   than   any   of   his   fraternity�察  �and   was   very   little 

anxious   to   disguise   his   love   of   the   good   things   of   this   world   under   the 

semblance of a sanctified exterior。 The   friar and Matilda   had often sung 

duets together�察�and had been accustomed to the baron's chiming in with a 

stormy capriccio�察�which was usually charmed into silence by some sudden 

turn in the witching melodies of Matilda。                They had therefore naturally 

calculated�察�as far as their wild spirits calculated at all�察�on the same effects 

from the same causes。           But the circumstances of the preceding day had 

made   an   essential   alteration in the   case。 The baron   knew  well�察 �from  the 

intelligence   he   had   received�察  �that   the   earl's   offence   was   past   remission�此�

which would have been of less moment but for the awful fact of
