The sounds of music came gratefully to Isoult; for once she was glad to be rid of him. She sped back to Vincent, enormously relieved that the field of battle was to be narrowed. Maulfry would have been awkward in the open; she knew she could hold her in the passages. There were two things to be prevented, observe. The knife must not discover Prosper, nor Maulfry Isoult.
The real Roy had done more than this; he would never refuse her so much. So she thought at least; and at the worst she would have space to tell her message. At noon, the forest pony captured and haltered with a rope, she started. Alice was tearful, but Isoult, high in affairs, had no time to consider Alice.
Instead they struck due east, and hit the main road which runs from High March to Market Basing; then by going south for another day they would win Tortsentier. Isoult, of course, as a born woodlander would know the whereabouts of Maulfry's dwelling from any side but the north. She was of South Morgraunt, and therefore knew nothing of the north or middle forest. All this Maulfry had calculated.
"I must go. Good-bye, Isoult. I shall see you again, I am very sure." "I hope you will. Good-bye." He did not dare so much as touch the bed, but went out at once to make his report. He had questioned the boy a dull boy, but he thought honest. Assuredly he had seen no lady on his way. His lies deceived Maulfry, who would have known better but for her proneness to think everybody a fool.
I am more than satisfied with you, and hope that I may have proved as pleasant a traveller as I have found you to be. My salute must be for good-night and farewell, Isoult, for to-morrow morning I shall be gone before you have turned your side in bed. That is where you should be now, my dear. Your head is very hot a sign that you are tired.
Belvisee and Mellifont lay beside her on the grass. Isoult lay on her face, while Mellifont coiled and knotted up her hair. "If love is giving, and you are a lover, Isoult," said she, "you would give your hair." "I have given it," said Isoult, and told them her story as they all lay there together.
Isoult, who had no reason to be interested in any but her own affairs just then, and was, moreover, wet through and shivering, did not notice the flag flying over the Castle Party per pale argent and sable.
The duet, as of two low-answering doves, began "Is this Isoult la Desirous who cometh?" "You called me Desiree." "How long sought, how long prayed for!" "Found now, and close at last." "Closer yet, closer yet." "Oh heart, oh desire! Prosper!" "Yes." "Tell me one thing." "Ask." "When began you to think of me?" "Will you put me to shame, Isoult?" "Never, never! There is no shame in you.
"Scared folk!" he laughed to himself, hammering at the door with a will. Then Isoult stirred on his arm and awoke with a little whimper, half dreaming still, and not knowing where she was. She sat up in the saddle dazed with sleep. "The night is wild," said Prosper, "and I have found us the shadow of a shade, but as yet we lack the substance."
Then I shall kill myself. This is quite true. I have seen something to-night. There is no doubt at all. Will you help me, Vincent?" Vincent gaped at her. "How what why what shall I do?" he murmured, beginning to tremble. "Oh, Isoult, you know how I what I whispered !" "Yes, yes, I know. That is why I came. You must do exactly what I tell you.
