âBy St. Dunstan,â said Gurth, as he stumbled up the dark avenue, âthis is no Jewess, but an angel from heaven! Ten zecchins from my brave young masterâ âtwenty from this pearl of Zionâ âOh, happy day!â âSuch another, Gurth, will redeem thy bondage, and make thee a brother as free of thy guild as the best. And then do I lay down my swineherdâs horn and staff, and take the freemanâs sword and buckler, and follow my young master to the death, without hiding either my face or my name.â
