Both Knights broke their lances fairly, but Front-de-Boeuf, who lost a stirrup in the encounter, was adjudged to have the disadvantage. 沃尔特·司各特.艾凡赫.
Neither, said Front-de-Boeuf, belong to this Saxon's company. 沃尔特·司各特.艾凡赫.
In the name of Saint Bennet, the prince of these bull-beggars, said Front-de-Boeuf, have we a real monk this time, or another impostor? 沃尔特·司各特.艾凡赫.
