When Gurth and Wamba came into the great hall a little while later, the Templar recognized them from the forest.
“You will die a violent death one day,” he said to Wamba, “if you continue to give wrong directions to travellers like you did tonight.”
“I only made a small mistake,” the jester replied. “Someone who asks a fool for directions should be able to forgive that.”
Their conversation was interrupted (их разговор был прерван; to interrupt – обрывать, прерывать, внезапно прекращать /разговор, дружбу и т. д./) when another visitor was announced (когда о другом госте было объявлено). It was Isaac of York, an old Jew (это оказался Исаак из Йорка, старый еврей; Jew – еврей), who had been on his way to Ashby (который направлялся: «был на своем пути» в Эшби) and had come in from the storm outside (и вошел в дом /спасаясь/ от бури /снаружи/). Cedric welcomed the old man (Седрик поприветствовал старика: «старого мужчину»; to welcome – приветствовать; радушно принимать), but none of Cedric’s men would allow a Jew to sit down beside them (но ни один из людей Седрика не позволил еврею сесть рядом с собой). Only the pilgrim offered the old man some food and drink over by the fireplace (только пилигрим предложил старику немного еды и питья у камина).

When the Lady Rowena came into the hall at last (когда леди Ровена вошла наконец в залу), everyone stood up (все встали). She was a tall young woman (это была высокая молодая женщина) with a beautiful face (с прекрасным лицом) and clear blue eyes (и ясными голубыми глазами; clear – светлый, ясный, безоблачный /о небе/; яркий, блестящий). The Prior noticed (приор обратил внимание) that the Templar was staring at her Saxon beauty (что тамплиер /с изумлением/ смотрел на ее саксонскую красоту; to stare – пристально глядеть, вглядываться; уставиться).
