This reverend brother has been all his life engaged in fighting among the Saracens for the recovery of the Holy Sepulchre; he is of the order of Knights Templars, whom you may have heard of; he is half a monk, half a soldier.''
``What mean these fellows by their capricious insolence?'' said the Templar to the Benedictine,
``Well, you have said enough,'' answered the Templar; ``I will for a night put on the needful restraint, and deport me as meekly as a maiden; but as for the fear of his expelling us by violence, myself and squires, with Hamet and Abdalla, will warrant you against that disgrace.
``Ay, but he held his sword in his left hand, and so pointed across his body with it,'' said the Templar.
``You had better have tarried there to fight for the recovery of the Holy Sepulchre,'' said the Templar.

The Templar would have made an angry reply, but was interrupted by the Prior, who again expressed his astonishment, that their guide, after such long absence, should be so perfectly acquainted with the passes of the forest.
Before this entrance the Templar wound his horn loudly; for the rain, which had long threatened, began now to descend with great violence.
