| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Ivanhoe by Walter Scott: said De Bracy. ``If they abide the shaking of my
standard, or the sight of my Free Companions, I
will give them credit for the boldest outlaws ever
bent bow in green-wood.''
``And who shall bear such a message?'' said

rip the errand out of his bosom.---I have it,'' he
added, after pausing for a moment---``Sir Templar,
