Be

it

so

,

"

said

the

Palmer

;

"

at

Sheffield

then

we

part

,

and

half-an-hour

's

riding

will

bring

us

in

sight

of

that

town

.

"

The

half

hour

was

spent

in

perfect

silence

on

both

parts

;

the

Pilgrim

perhaps

disdaining

to

address

the

Jew

,

except

in

case

of

absolute

necessity

,

and

the

Jew

not

presuming

to

force

a

conversation

with

a

person

whose

journey

to

the

Holy

Sepulchre

gave

a

sort

of

sanctity

to

his

character

.

They

paused

on

the

top

of

a

gently

rising

bank

,

and

the

Pilgrim

,

pointing

to

the

town

of

Sheffield

,

which

lay

beneath

them

,

repeated

the

words

,

"

Here

,

then

,

we

part

.

"

"

Not

till

you

have

had

the

poor

Jew

's

thanks

,

"

said

Isaac

;

"

for

I

presume

not

to

ask

you

to

go

with

me

to

my

kinsman

Zareth

's

,

who

might

aid

me

with

some

means

of

repaying

your

good

offices

.

I

have

already

said

,

"

answered

the

Pilgrim

,

"

that

I

desire

no

recompense

.

If

among

the

huge

list

of

thy

debtors

,

thou

wilt

,

for

my

sake

,

spare

the

gyves

and

the

dungeon

to

some

unhappy

Christian

who

stands

in

thy

danger

,

I

shall

hold

this

morning

's

service

to

thee

well

bestowed

.

"

"

Stay

,

stay

,

"

said

the

Jew

,

laying

hold

of

his

garment

;

"

something

would

I

do

more

than

this

,

something

for

thyself

.

--

God

knows

the

Jew

is

poor

--

yes

,

Isaac

is

the

beggar

of

his

tribe

--

but

forgive

me

should

I

guess

what

thou

most

lackest

at

this

moment

.

"

"

If

thou

wert

to

guess

truly

,

"

said

the

Palmer

,

"

it

is

what

thou

canst

not

supply

,

wert

thou

as

wealthy

as

thou

sayst

thou

art

poor

.

"

"

As

I

say

?

"

echoed

the

Jew

;

"

O

!

believe

it

,

I

say

but

the

truth

;

I

am

a

plundered

,

indebted

,

distressed

man

.

Hard

hands

have

wrung

from

me

my

goods

,

my

money

,

my

ships

,

and

all

that

I

possessed

--

Yet

I

can

tell

thee

what

thou

lackest

,

and

,

it

may

be

,

supply

it

too

.

Thy

wish

even

now

is

for

a

horse

and

armour

.

The

Palmer

started

,

and

turned

suddenly

towards

the

Jew

:

--

"

What

fiend

prompted

that

guess

?

"

said

he

,

hastily

.

"

No

matter

,

"

said

the

Jew

,

smiling

,

"

so

that

it

be

a

true

one

--

and

,

as

I

can

guess

thy

want

,

so

I

can

supply

it

.

"

"

But

consider

,

"

said

the

Palmer

,

"

my

character

,

my

dress

,

my

vow

.
