"Why, he looks like Mr. Pate," said Ida.
"Richard and Pate are one and the same person to-day," said Toney. "M. T. Pate is now Richard Plantagenet, Miss Somers; and if he should prove victorious in the lists he may crown you Queen of Love and Beauty."
Tom Seddon was silent, but he gazed at Richard with a look of savage ferocity, which reminded the Professor of the expression of his countenance just after he had been bled by Doctor Bull.
"The knight standing next to Mr. Pate, who is he?" asked Rosabel.
"Ivanhoe," said Toney.
"It is Mr. Wiggins," said Ida.
"Formerly Mr. Wiggins, now the son of Cedric,—the disinherited knight, the valiant Ivanhoe."
"And the little man whose head hardly reaches to his horse's mane? How in the world will he ever mount?" said Rosabel.
"Oh, never fear. His esquire will help him on his horse. He is a Knight Templar," said Toney.
"What is his name?" said Rosabel.
