As he had foreseen, Lens had fallen into the hands of the enemy immediately after Raoul's departure. The event was announced by the cessation of the firing. As the shadows of night deepened the troops summoned by the prince arrived in successive detachments.
This was the clay on which the poor lady's fate was to be determined by her husband and lord.
