And now tell me if there is aught that I can do for you.

I will myself accompany you into the town, and will introduce you as a French knight, so that no suspicion is likely to lie upon you, and will, further, ride with you to the borders of Saxony.

I am well known, and trust that my company will avert all suspicion from you.

You have told me that your purse is ill-supplied; you must suffer me to replenish it.

One knight need not fear to borrow of another; and I know that when you have returned to your home, you will bestow the sum which I now give you upon some holy shrine in my name, and thus settle matters between us." Cuthbert without hesitation accepted the offer, and was well pleased at finding his purse replenished, for its emptiness had caused him serious trouble.
