I would know that square jaw and red head equally well now, were it under the tiara of the pope instead of under the tur- ban ; and I would cut your throat if you carried St. Peter's key in your girdle ; you change-skinned lizard ! " " Who is he ? " cried the horsemen, gathering about. " Why ! the very knave who escaped us about sun- down yesterday, after spying our camp ...; and he has the impudence to ask us to take him prisoner that he may spy us again.
