Pentavalon is rife with war and rumours of war, everywhere is whispered talk of war death shall be busy within this evil Duchy ere long aye, and even in Mortain, perchance nay, hearken!
In a glade of the forest, yet not so far but that one might hear the chime of bells stealing across the valley from the great minster of Mortain on a still evening, dwelt Beltane the Smith.
I pray. Last came a limping pilgrim from Aquitaine, whose hat was covered with metal saints, and in his left shoe a wad of parchment, which had made him limp. This proved to be a letter from John Count of Mortain, which said, 'Now I see in secret.
Thou wert, as I remember thee, a very gentle, tender youth to-night are three dead without reason " "Reason, good Fool," said Beltane, "thou did'st see me borne in a prisoner to Garthlaxton; now, tell me I pray, who was she that rode with us?" "'Twas the Duchess Helen of Mortain, messire; I saw her hair, moreover "
"Beltane," spake the Duchess, clasping Beltane's hand, "dost know at last?" "Aye," answered he with eyes aglow, "But how cometh my noble father yonder?" "I sought him out in Holy Cross Thicket, Beltane.

The church described long ago by Gally Knight and De Caumont is palpably later than his day.
My brother is my lord, a clement prince 'Pish! said King Philip, and gave him his back. 'Madame, go to bed, he said to his sister. 'I shall pay dear for it, but I will not oppose my cousin's ransom. Be content with that. Alois slipped out. Then he turned upon John like a flash of flame. 'Now, Mortain, he said, 'what proof is there of that old business of my sister's?
"O, my hair, my lord? 'twas gold, 'tis black and shall be gold again, but I am that same Winfrida." "But but I have seen Winfrida betimes in Mortain ere now." "Nay, then, didst but look at her, my lord, for thine eyes saw only the noble Helen's beauty.
