Excerpt from The Magician, Vol. 3
In this well-read age, it is needless to say, that the Jew's proposal to assassinate an enemy, too powerful to be brought to public justice, was listened to by his audience of the fifteenth century without the slightest manifestation either of surprise or horror. Douglas still thought, however, that he had a better chance of success with the sword, than the feeble old man with the dagger: and besides this, like a true knight-errant, he would almost have regretted the liberation of his mistress from the dragon which haunted her, if the adventure had been achieved by another. As for the three students, they were satisfied with neither champion.
