But to re- turn to Gabriel de Glowr. Like a few other warriors then in the Scot- tish camp, this veteran tenant in capite hav- ing followed their young King, the son of the ever-famous Bruce, to the invasion of England, not so much to win laurels as to gather gear, was mightily pleased with the prize that he had obtained in the richly-ves- tured page ; in so much, that in showing the perplexed and wondering boy to some of his 208 ANCIENT CHIVALRY. compatriots, he told them, that the two lads wh...o brought the stripling in, though they had the looks and the tongues of Southrons, were not really unreasonable to deal with. Why should they ? — had they not their profit in the agreement with Ralph Hanslap? — what they got from Falaside was but supplementary. When the news of the approach of the royal English army reached the camp, the Scottish chiefs obliged their young King to sound a retreat, — the chronicler says, to pre- serve the spoil which they had taken in the campaign. But this is a manifest libel on their chivalry, which we shall not take the trouble to expose more particularly, but pro- ceed to mention, that, in those days, it was the custom for Jews and their emissaries, much in the same manner as it has been in latter times, for the agents of many respect- able Firms to hover with the ravens and vul- tures on the skirts of the armies, in order to buy plunder or supply necessaries.
