A momentary sensation of horror appalled Hilary, and he felt the blood rush to his heart, but he did not flinch. "I am a king's officer," he thought, "and I have done my duty in the king's name.

I have been told that there is not far off a golden water, the property of which is very wonderful; before all things, I ask you to tell me where it is."
