So much did the seneschal's lady think, and so imperially well, that by the time she arrived at the bridge of Tours, she loved Gauttier secretly, as a maiden loves, without suspecting that it is love.
But the expense of maintaining order pressed heavily on the seneschal's resources, and his master showed little disposition to assist him. Moreover Gascony could not long keep quiet. There were threats of fresh insurrections, and the whole land was burning with indignation against its governor. Complaints from the Gascon estates soon flowed with great abundance into Westminster.
The Count of Terlizzi and the grand seneschal's widow were still alive, and two tears of blood ran down the cheeks of the miserable mother as she saw her son's corpse and the palpitating remains of her two daughters cast upon the fire they by their stifled cries showed that they had not ceased to suffer.
Good-by and good luck!" The driver whipped the horse, and, as the carriage was going down through the suburbs, M. de Chandore said, "I cannot understand why Anthony did not come to me immediately after his master had been arrested. What can have happened to him?" M. Seneschal's horse was perhaps one of the very best in the whole province; but M. de Chandore's was still better.
This argument of the seneschal's appealed so powerfully to the Bohemian and to the Hospitaller that they at once intimated that their objections had been entirely overcome, while even the Lady Rochefort, who had sat shivering and crossing herself, ceased to cast glances at the door, and allowed her fears to turn to curiosity.

Now in the evening, as the seneschal's wife sat thoughtfully in her chair in the corner of the fireplace, old Bruyn interrogated her as to her trouble. "I am thinking." said she, "that you must have fought the battles of love very early, to be thus completely broken up."
But when the seneschal's lady arrived close to them, she turned her horse's head quickly and the sight she beheld prevented her from hunting.
He began by what he conceived to be the more urgent measure, and stepping across to the Palais Seneschal, he demanded to see Monsieur de Tressan at once. Ushered into the Lord Seneschal's presence, he startled that obese gentleman by the announcement that he had returned from Condillac with Mademoiselle de La Vauvraye, and that he would require an escort to accompany them to Paris.
A swift look of warning flashed over the seneschal's face, and Brian laughed. "Lady," he said in the same tongue, "he is Cathbarr of the Ax, and he will be a good man to stand with us against the Dark Master." She betrayed no surprise, except that a little tinge of red crept to her temples. "I did not know you spoke English, Brian Buidh. Still, it was not to Cathbarr that I referred."
