They made good progress, but when the sun set they had not yet reached a point from which the most distant view of Hurricane Hill could be obtained.

The horses were forced to the greatest possible endurance, but never did miles seem so long.
Therewith they held their peace, and the bed was apparelled, and they went to rest. The morrow was much fair, and the pilgrims rose up at daybreak and made noise.

Then he sent La Rapet away, saying to her: "To-morrow morning at five o'clock, without fail." And she replied: "To-morrow at five o'clock."
