The side abutting the river is inhabited by Dame Philiberte, whom her husband imprisoned for attempting to take her pleasure in travel. I hear upon authority that she dresses in white, and wears a black crucifix. She is many centuries old, and still she lives to remind people that she married a Rouaillout. Do you not think she should have come to me to welcome me?
It was in reply to a salute from the Marquis de Rouaillout, and Nevil beheld his rival. 'M. le Marquis, seeing it is out of the question that we can come to you, will you come to us? cried Roland. The marquis gesticulated 'With alacrity' in every limb. 'We will bring you back on to-morrow midnight's tide, safe, we promise you. The marquis advanced a foot, and withdrew it.
