Ivanhoe Chapter 16
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which a weary and mysterious Black Knight, having withdrawn from the public eye after a great tournament, seeks refuge in a remote hermitage nestled by ancient ruins and a crystal fountain, where he encounters the stout and singular Clerk of Copmanhurst, a hermit whose austere guise belies a hearty appetite and surprising provisions. The two exchange wary hospitality and guarded wit, partaking in humble fare and wine beneath the shadow of the forest, their discourse hinting at concealed strength and untold stories.
