“Assalamulaikum” ... not that different from “Shalom Aleichem”.
What’s your Christian greeting?
Pax vobiscum.
The exchange of dress was now accomplished, when a sudden doubt
struck Cedric.
“I know no language,” he said, “but my own, and a few words of
their mincing Norman. How shall I bear myself like a reverend
brother?”
“The spell lies in two words,” replied Wamba—“‘Pax vobiscum’ will
answer all queries. If you go or come, eat or drink, bless or ban,
‘Pax vobiscum’ carries you through it all. It is as useful to a
friar as a broomstick to a witch, or a wand to a conjurer. Speak
it but thus, in a deep grave tone,—‘Pax vobiscum!’—it is
irresistible—Watch and ward, knight and squire, foot and horse, it
acts as a charm upon them all. I think, if they bring me out to be
hanged to-morrow, as is much to be doubted they may, I will try
its weight upon the finisher of the sentence.”
“If such prove the case,” said the master, “my religious orders
are soon taken—‘Pax vobiscum’. I trust I shall remember the
pass-word.—Noble Athelstane, farewell; and farewell, my poor boy,
whose heart might make amends for a weaker head—I will save you,
or return and die with you. The royal blood of our Saxon kings
shall not be spilt while mine beats in my veins; nor shall one
hair fall from the head of the kind knave who risked himself for
his master, if Cedric’s peril can prevent it.—Farewell.”
“Farewell, noble Cedric,” said Athelstane; “remember it is the
true part of a friar to accept refreshment, if you are offered any.”
“Farewell, uncle,” added Wamba; “and remember ‘Pax vobiscum’.”
