Thus grieving, he took up the body in his arms, and put it upon his saddle-bow. Then he said to his companion,—
"Can you tell me of some chapel, where I may bury this body?"
"Come with me. There is one near by."
AN OLD AND HALF-RUINED CHAPEL.
They rode forward till they came in sight of a tower, beside which was an old and half-ruined chapel. Here they alighted, and placed the corpse in a tomb of marble.
"We will leave him here," said the good man, "and seek shelter for the night. To-morrow we will return and perform the services for the dead."
"Are you a priest?" asked Bors.
"Yes," he answered.
