vering, she slightly raised herself,
leant upon the marble margin of the fountain, and looked about her with
a wildered air.

At this moment a shout was heard, repeated and increased; soon the sound
of many voices and the tramp of persons approaching. The vivid but brief
twilight had died away. Almost suddenly it had become night. The voices
became more audible, the steps were at hand. Tancred recognised his
name, frequently repeated. Behold a crowd of many persons, several of
them bearing torches. There was Colonel Brace in the van; on his right
was the Rev. Mr. Bernard; on his left, was Dr. Roby. Freeman and Trueman
and several guides and native servants were in the rear, most of them
proclaiming the name of Lord Montacute.

'I am here,' said Tancred, advancing from the kiosk, pale and agitated.
'Why am I wanted?'

Colonel Brace began to explain, but all seemed to speak at the same
time.

The Duke and Duchess of Bellamont had arrived at Jerusalem.
