Scene VIII.
Nathan, _the_ Templar, _and the others_.
SALADIN.
Welcome, my dear good friends! Nathan, to you I must first mention, you may send and fetch Your moneys when you will.
NATHAN.
Sultan----
SALADIN.
And now I'm at your service.
NATHAN.
Sultan----
SALADIN.
For my gold Is now arrived; the caravan is safe: These many years I have not been so rich. Now, tell me what you wish for, to achieve Some splendid speculation? You in trade, Like us, have never too much ready cash.
NATHAN.
Why speak about this trifle first? I see An eye in tears (_going towards_ Recha). My Recha, you have wept. What have you lost? Are you not still my child?
RECHA.
My father!
NATHAN.
That's enough! We're understood By one another! But look up--be calm, Be cheerful! If your heart is still your own, And if no threatened loss disturb your breast, Your father is not lost to you!
RECHA.
None, none!
TEMPLAR.
None! Then I'm much deceived. What we don't fear To lose, we ne'er have loved, and ne'er have wished To be possessed of. But 'tis well, 'tis well! Nathan, this changes all! At your command, We come here, Sultan. You have been misled By me, and I will trouble you no more!
SALADIN.
Rash, headlong youth! Must every temper yield To yours!--and must we all thus guess your mind?
TEMPLAR.
But, Sultan, you have heard and seen it all.
SALADIN.
Well, truly, it was awkward to be thus Uncertain of your cause!
TEMPLAR.
I know my fate.
SALADIN.
Whoe'er presumes upon a service done, Cancels the benefit. What you have saved Is, therefore, not your own. Or else the thief, Urged by mere avarice through flaming halls, Were like yourself a hero. (_Advancing towards_ Recha _to lead her to the_ Templar.) Come, sweet maid! Be not reserved towards him. Had he been so, Were he less warm, less proud, he had held back, And had not saved you. Weigh the former deed Against the latter, and you'll make him blush! Do what he should have done! confess your love! Make him your offer! and if he refuse, Or e'er forget how infinitely more You do for him than he has done for you-- For what, in fact, have been his services, Save soiling his complexion? a mere sport-- Else has he nothing of my Assad in him, But only wears his mask. Come, lovely maid.
SITTAH.
Go, dearest, go! this step is not enough For gratitude; it is too little.
NATHAN.
Hold! Hold, Saladin! hold, Sittah!
SALADIN.
What would you?
NATHAN.
It is the duty of another now To speak.
SALADIN.
Who questions that? Beyond all doubt A foster--father has a right to vote First, if you will. You see I know the whole.
NATHAN.
Not quite. I speak not, Sultan, of myself. There is another and a different man Whom I must first confer with, Saladin.
SALADIN.
And who is he?
NATHAN.
Her brother.
SALADIN.
Recha's brother?
NATHAN.
E'en so.
RECHA.
My brother! Have I then a brother?
TEMPLAR (_starting from his silent and sullen inattention_).
Where is this brother? Not yet here! 'Twas here I was to meet him.
NATHAN.
Patience yet awhile.
TEMPLAR (_bitterly_).
He has imposed a father on the girl; He'll find a brother for her now!
SALADIN.
Indeed, That much was wanting. But this mean rebuke, Christian, had ne'er escaped my Assad's lips.
NATHAN.
Forgive him: I forgive him readily. Who knows what in his youth and in his place We might ourselves have thought? (_Approaching him in a very friendly manner_) Suspicion, knight, Follows upon reserve. Had you at first Vouchsafed to me your real name----
TEMPLAR.
How! what!
NATHAN.
You are no Stauffen.
TEMPLAR.
Tell me who I am.
NATHAN.
Conrad of Stauffen, not.
TEMPLAR. Then what's my name?
NATHAN.
Leo of Filneck.
TEMPLAR.
How?
NATHAN.
You start!
TEMPLAR.
With reason. But who says this?
NATHAN.
I, who can tell you more. Meanwhile, observe, I tax you not with falsehood.
TEMPLAR.
Indeed!
NATHAN.
It may be both names fit you well.
TEMPLAR.
I think so. (_Aside_) God inspired him with that thought.
NATHAN.
Your mother was a Stauffen: and her brother (The uncle to whose care you were consigned, When, by the rigour of the climate chased, Your parents quitted Germany, to seek This land once more) was Conrad. He, perhaps, Adopted you as his own son and heir. Is it long since you travelled hither with him? Does he still live?
TEMPLAR.
What shall I answer him? He speaks the truth. Nathan, 'tis so indeed; But he himself is dead. I journeyed here, With the last troops of knights, to reinforce Our order. But inform me how this tale Concerns your Recha's brother.
NATHAN.
Well, your father----
TEMPLAR.
What! did you know him too?
NATHAN.
He was my friend.
TEMPLAR.
Your friend! Oh, Nathan, is it possible?
NATHAN.
Oluf of Filneck did he style himself; But he was not a German.
TEMPLAR.
You know that?
NATHAN.
He had espoused a German, and he lived For some, time with your mother there.
TEMPLAR.
No more Of this, I beg. But what of Recha's brother?
NATHAN.
It is yourself.
TEMPLAR.
What, I? am I her brother?
RECHA.
He, my brother? SALADIN.
Are they so near akin?
RECHA (_approaching the_ Templar).
My brother!
TEMPLAR (_stepping back_).
I, your brother?
RECHA (_stopping and turning to Nathan_).
No, in truth, It cannot be. His heart makes no response. O God! we are deceivers.
SALADIN (_to the_ Templar).
Say you so? Is that your thought? All is deceit in you: The voice, the gesture, and the countenance, Nothing of these is yours. How! will you not Acknowledge such a sister? Then begone!
TEMPLAR (_approaching him humbly_).
Oh! do not misinterpret my surprise. Sultan, you never saw your Assad's heart At any time like this. Then do not err, Mistake not him and me. (_Turning to_ Nathan.) You give me much, Nathan, and also you take much away, And yet you give me more than you withdraw-- Ay, infinitely more. My sister, sister! (_embraces_ Recha.)
NATHAN.
Blanda of Filneck.
TEMPLAR.
Blanda, ha! not Recha? Your Recha now no more! Have you resigned Your child? Give her her Christian name once more, And for my sake discard her then. Oh, Nathan, Why must she suffer for a fault of mine?
NATHAN.
What mean you, oh, my children, both of you? For sure my daughter's brother is my child Whenever he shall wish. (_While they embrace_ Nathan, Saladin _uneasily approaches_ Sittah.)
SALADIN.
What say you, sister? Sittah.
SITTAH.
I'm deeply moved----
SALADIN.
And I half tremble when I think of the emotion that must come: Prepare yourself to bear it as you may.
SITTAH.
What! How!
SALADIN.
Nathan, a word--one word with you. (_He joins_ Nathan, _while_ Sittah _approaches the others to express her sympathy, and_ Nathan _and_ Saladin _converse in a low tone_.)
Hear, hear me, Nathan. Said you not just now That he----
NATHAN.
That who?
SALADIN.
Her father was not born In Germany. You know then whence he came? And what he was?
NATHAN.
He never told me that.
SALADIN.
Was he no Frank, nor from the Western land?
NATHAN.
He said as much. He spoke the Persian tongue.
SALADIN.
The Persian! need I more? 'Tis he! 'twas he!
NATHAN.
Who?
SALADIN.
Assad, my brother Assad, beyond doubt.
NATHAN.
If you think so, then be assured from this: Look in this book (_handing him the breviary_).
SALADIN.
Oh, 'tis his hand! once more I recognise it.
NATHAN.
They know naught of this: It rests with you to tell them all the truth.
SALADIN (_turning over the leaves of the breviary_).
They are my brother's children. Shall I not Acknowledge them and claim them? Or shall I Abandon them to you? (_Speaking aloud_.) Sittah, they are The children of my brother and of yours. (_Rushes to embrace them_.)
SITTAH (_following his example_).
What do I hear? Could it be otherwise?
SALADIN (_to the_ Templar).
Proud youth! from this time forward you are bound To love me. (_To_ Recha.) And henceforth, without your leave Or with it, I am what I vowed to be.
SITTAH.
And so am I.
SALADIN (_to the_ Templar).
My son! my Assad's son!
TEMPLAR.
I of your blood! Then those were more than dreams With which they used to lull my infancy-- (_Falls at_ Sultan's _feet_.)
SALADIN (_raising him_).
There, mark the rascal! though he knew something Of what has chanced, he was content that I Should have become his murderer! Beware. (_The curtain falls whilst they repeatedly embrace each other in silence_.)

This Catechetical Manual is second to none of such.'--_English Churchman_.

'Perhaps the most thoroughly _practical_ little book on its subject we have ever seen. Its explanations, its paraphrases, its questions, and the mass of information contained in its appendices, are not merely invaluable in themselves, but they are the information actually wanted for the purpose of the teaching contemplated. We do not wonder at its being in its third edition.'--_Literary Churchman_.

CHURCH DOCTRINE--BIBLE TRUTH. Fcap. 8vo. 18th Thousand, 3_s_. 6_d_.
'Some writers have the gift of speaking the right word at the right time, and the Rev. M. F. Sadler is pre-eminently one of them. "Church Doctrine--Bible Truth," is full of wholesome truths fit for these times.... He has power of putting his meaning in a forcible and intelligible way, which will, we trust, enable his valuable work to effect that which it is well calculated to effect, viz. to meet with an appropriate and crushing reply one of the most dangerous misbeliefs of the time.'--_Guardian_.
THE SECOND ADAM AND THE NEW BIRTH; or, the Doctrine of Baptism as contained in Holy Scripture. Fcap. 8vo. 7th Edition, price 4_s_. 6_d_.
'The most striking peculiarity of this useful little work is that its author argues almost exclusively from the Bible. We commend it most earnestly to clergy and laity, as containing in a small compass, and at a trifling cost, a body of sound and Scriptural doctrine respecting the New Birth, which cannot be too widely circulated.'--_Guardian_.

_By Mrs. Ewing_.
'Everything Mrs. Ewing writes is full of talent, and also full of perception and common sense.'--_Saturday Review_.
A GREAT EMERGENCY, and other Tales. With 4 Illustrations. Fcap. 8vo. 5_s_. [_Just published._]
THE BROWNIES, and other Tales. Illustrated by George Cruikshank. 3rd Edition. Imp. 16mo. 5_s_.
'Mrs. Ewing gives us some really charming writing. While her first story most prettily teaches children how much they can do to help their parents, the immediate result will be, we fear, anything but good. For if a child once begins "The Brownies," it will get so deeply interested in it, that when bed-time comes it will altogether forget the moral, and will weary its parents with importunities for just a few minutes more to see how everything ends. The frontispiece, by the old friend of our childhood, George Cruikshank, is no less pretty than the story.'--_Saturday Review_.
MRS. OVERTHEWAY'S REMEMBRANCES. Illustrated with 10 fine Full-page Engravings on Wood, after Drawings by Pasquier and Wolf, and Edition, cloth gilt, 3_s_. 6_d_.
'It is not often nowadays the privilege of a critic to grow enthusiastic over a new work; and the rarity of the occasion that calls forth the delight is apt to lead one into the sin of hyperbole. And yet we think we shall not be accused of extravagance when we say that, without exception, "Mrs. Overthewny's Remembrances" is the most delightful work avowedly written for children that we have ever read. There are passages in this book which the genius of George Eliot would be proud to own. It is full of a peculiar, heart-stirring pathos of its own, which culminates in the last pages, when Ida finds that her father is not dead. The book is one that may be recurred to often, and always with the same delight. We predict for it a great popularity.'-- _Leader_.
MELCHIOR'S DREAM, and other Tales. Illustrated. 3rd Edition. Fcap. 8vo. 3_s_. 6_d_.
"'Melchior's Dream' is an exquisite little story, charming by original humour, buoyant spirits, and tender pathos."--_Athenaeum_.
A FLAT IRON FOR A FARTHING; or, Some Passages in the Life of an Only Son. With 12 Illustrations by H. Allingham. 5th Edition. Small 8vo. 5_s_.
'Let every parent and guardian who wishes to be amused, and at the same time to please a child, purchase "A Flat Iron for a Farthing; or, some Passages in the Life of an Only Son," by J. H Ewing. We will answer for the delight with which they will read it themselves, and we do not doubt that the young and fortunate recipients will also like it. The story is quaint, original, and altogether delightful.'--_Athenaeum_.
'A capital book for a present. No child who is fortunate enough to possess it will be in a hurry to put it down, for it is a book of uncommon fascination. The story is good, the principles inculcated admirable, and some of the illustrations simply delicious.'--_John Bull_.
LOB-LIE-BY-THE-FIRE; or, the Luck of Lingborough. And other Tales. Illustrated by George Cruikshank. 2nd Edition. Imp. 16mo. 5_s_.
'A charming tale by another of those clever writers, thanks to whom the children are now really better served than their neighbours.'--_Spectator_.
'Mrs. Ewing has written as good a story as her "Brownies," and that is saying a great deal. "Lob-lie-by-the-fire" has humour and pathos, and teaches what is right without making children think they are reading a sermon.'--_Saturday Review_.
SIX TO SIXTEEN: A Story for Girls. With 10 Illustrations by Mrs. Allingham. 3rd Edition. Small post 8vo. 5_s_.
'The homely good sense and humour of the bulk of the story are set off by the pathos of its opening and its close, and a soft and beautiful light, as of dawn and sunset, is thrown round the substantial English ideal of what a girl's education ought to be, which runs through the tale.'--_Spectator_.
'It is a beautifully told story, full of humour and pathos, and bright sketches of scenery and character. It is all told with great naturalness, and will amuse grown-up people quite as much as children. In reading the story, we have been struck especially by characteristic bits of description, which show very happily the writer's appreciation of child life.'--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
'We have rarely met, on such a modest scale, with characters so ably and simply drawn ... The merits of the volume, in themselves not small, are much enhanced by some clever illustrations from the pencil of Mrs. Allingham.'--_Athenaeum_.
'The tone of the book is pleasant and healthy, and singularly free from that sentimental, not to say "mawkish," stain which is apt to disfigure such productions. The illustrations by Mrs. Allingham add a special attraction to the little volume.'--_Times_.
'It is scarcely necessary to say that Mrs. Ewing's book is one of the best of the year.'--_Saturday Review_.
'There is in it not only a great deal of common sense, but there is true humour.... We have not met a healthier or breezier tale for girls for a long period.'--_Academy_.
JAN OF THE WINDMILL; a Story of the Plains. With 11 Illustrations by Helen Allingham. Crown 8vo. 8_s_. 6_d_.
'A capital story, which, like all that Mrs. Ewing gives us, will be read with pleasure Some well-drawn illustrations materially increase the attractiveness of the volume.'--_City Press_.
_By Mrs. O'Reilly_.
'Mrs. O'Reilly's works need no commendation ... the style is so good, the narrative so engrossing, and the tone so excellent.'--_John Bull_.
LITTLE PRESCRIPTION, and other Tales. With 6 Illustrations by W. H. Petherick and others. 16mo. 2_s_. 6_d_.
