I was silent, being troubled as to how I should answer him, for my heart bled at the thought of the news he must have. I turned my face to the ground. ' What ; are they not well ? What 's to do ? For the love of God, answer me. ' At that I turned to him full heavily and said sadly, ' If to be at peace is to be well, they are well, for they rest with the Blessed Saints in Christ. ' He swayed to and fro like a drunken man. * They are dead ? ' he asked, in a hoarse gasping voice. I nodded, and he ...gave a low cry and sank to the 72 The Crusader earth as one dead. I halloaed loudly, and John the Smith and his big son came running from their house with bills in their hands. But I told them what had befallen, and John's son fetching water from the brook, we bathed Thomas's face therewith ; so after a time he came to himself, though moaning a httle as though he were sore hurt. We half led and half carried him to the Smith's house, where they sat him on a great chair by the fire. It was a long time before he spoke, and we stood apart from him, the women- folk and the children gazing curiously and pity- ingly at him from the corner.
