Hey, in 23 we have one missing line that should come in the gap at 4:30
Here's the passage for you, with that missing line in bold:
- - - - -
De Bracy: “though you may think it lies too obscure for my apprehension. But dream not, that Richard Cœur de Lion(pronounce Coeur-de-Lion) will ever resume his throne, far less that Wilfred of Ivanhoe, his minion, will ever lead thee to his footstool, to be there welcomed as the bride of a favourite. Another suitor might feel jealousy while he touched this string; but my firm purpose cannot be changed by a passion so childish and so hopeless. Know, lady, that this rival is in my power, and that it rests but with me to betray the secret of his being within the castle to Front-de-Bœuf,(pronounce Front-de-Boeuf) whose jealousy will be more fatal than mine.”
Rowena: “Wilfred here?”
said Rowena, in disdain;
Rowena: “that is as true as that Front-de-Bœuf(pronounce Front-de-Boeuf) is his rival.”
De Bracy looked at her steadily for an instant.
De Bracy: “Wert thou really ignorant of this?”
said he;
De Bracy: “didst thou not know that Wilfred of Ivanhoe travelled in the litter of the Jew? — a meet conveyance for the crusader, whose doughty arm was to reconquer the Holy Sepulchre!”
And he laughed scornfully.
