"Tell Mademoiselle Julie that her brother did not come to the appointed meeting at Chastel, because he was wounded. Not badly. Don't be alarmed, Suzanne. He'll be as well as ever soon." "Then he, too, will come to Zillenstein. You are not the only one who seeks, Monsieur Scott." "But I am the first to arrive. Nothing can take that from me." "It is true. Now I must hasten back to the castle.
But the wireless could not talk through all the storm and we had no warning of the German movement until the snowfall died down." "What are we going to do?" asked John. "We'll stay on the site of Chastel at least until morning, which can't be far away." John looked at his watch. "It will be daylight in two hours," he said. "Oh, by the way," exclaimed Carstairs, "what became of Weber?"
Scott," continued Weber, "was to enable you to notify Lieutenant Lannes of her exact location in case you should see him. Knowing your great friendship I thought it inevitable that you two should soon meet once more. If so, tell him that his sister is at Chastel. He will be glad to know of her arrival and, work permitting, will hurry to her there." "Gladly I'll do it," said John.
John Chastel, a young man of nineteen, son of a cloth-merchant in the city, slipped in among the visitors, managed to approach the king, and dealt him a blow with a knife just as he was stooping to raise and embrace Francis de la Grange, Sieur de Montigny, who was kneeling before him. The blow, aimed at the king's throat, merely slit his upper lip and broke a tooth. "I am wounded!" said the king.
"We alone hold Chastel," said John, "and I think we'd better go back to the Hôtel de l'Europe. I've been away a full two hours and Mademoiselle Lannes may be worried about my long absence, not about me personally, but because of what it might possibly signify." "That's our obvious course," said Weber, "and as I've registered I'll sleep at the hotel also."
It was possible that the people of Chastel did not return because they were fearing another attack. If Antoine had caught the gleam of German lances in the wood then a considerable German force might be behind the French lines. Snowstorms formed a good cover for secret operations. Julie noticed the passing shadow in his face and she knew it to be the sign of alarm. "What is it, Mr.
I rose, and for the first time entered that sacred chamber, where Chastel was lying on a low bed placed on a slightly raised platform in the center of the floor.
There is no mention of a Hand in any of the three versions, which appear to be late and emasculated forms of the theme. The earliest mention of a Perilous Cemetery, as distinct from a Chapel, appears to be in the Chastel Orguellous section of the Perceval, a section probably derived from a very early stratum of Arthurian romantic tradition.
It was shadowy and slim at the distance, but he knew that it was a human being, and either it was Weber or some man of Chastel returning to see what had happened to his town. In either event he wished to overtake him. But the figure led him a long chase. The man seemed to be moving with some definite purpose, and kept a general course toward the east.
Bougainville ran up and down his lines, but, to John's surprise, he was holding his men back, rather than urging them on. But he quickly saw the reason. He heard the hissing and shrieking of shells over his head and he saw them bursting in Chastel.
