And this was what he read: Norman of Torn is now at the castle of Tany, without escort.
"Ride by easy stages, Shandy, and I will overtake you by tomorrow morning. I but ride for a moment to the castle of De Tany on an errand, and, as I shall stop there but a few moments, I shall surely join you tomorrow." "Do not forget, My Lord," said Edwild the Serf, a great yellow-haired Saxon giant, "that there be a party of the King's troops camped close by the road which branches to Tany."
"What now?" he cried. "What goes on here?" The soldiers fell back, and one of them replied: "A party of the King's enemies attacked us, My Lord Earl, but we routed them, taking these two prisoners." "Who be ye?" he said, turning toward Joan who was kneeling beside De Conde, and as she raised her head, "My God! The daughter of De Tany! a noble prize indeed my men. And who be the knight?"
As he jerked his blade from the fellow's throat, Norman of Torn felt a firm, warm hand slipped into his from behind, and his sword swung with a resounding blow against the lamp. As darkness enveloped the chamber, Joan de Tany led him through the little door, which he immediately closed and bolted as she had instructed.
Joan de Tany drew slowly away from him, and without reply, took his hand and led him forward through a dark, cold corridor. "We must go carefully now," she said at last, "for there be stairs near." He held her hand pressed very tightly in his, tighter perhaps than conditions required, but she let it lie there as she led him forward, very slowly down a flight of rough stone steps.
They were soon mounted, and clattering down the road, back toward the castle of Richard de Tany. Joan de Tany looked in silent wonder upon this grim force that sprang out of the shadows of the night to do the bidding of Roger de Conde, a gentleman of France. There was something familiar in the great bulk of Red Shandy; where had she seen that mighty frame before?
When the rising sun shone through the narrow window, it found Joan de Tany at peace with all about her; the carved golden hilt of the toy that had hung at her girdle protruded from her breast, and a thin line of crimson ran across the snowy skin to a little pool upon the sheet beneath her. And so the cruel hand of a mighty revenge had reached out to crush another innocent victim.
Llewelyn furnished Peckham with long catalogues of grievances. He was quite willing to gain time by discussing his wrongs. Edward's army shared his irritation at Peckham's interference, and, while the archbishop was still in Snowdon, a breach of the truce destroyed any hopes of peace. On November 6 Tany led his troops over the bridge of boats at low water and marched inland.
Brian will never waken; she'll never see his eyes again, 'tany rate nor his white head oh! his white head! God ought to kill Val, and I wondher he doesn't. "'Raymond, my good friend, said I, 'if you travel at this rate, I must give up the journey altogether.
Five swords were flashing about the outlaw, but his blade was equal to the thrust and one after another of his assailants crumpled up in their saddles as his leaping point found their vitals. Nearly all of the Baron's men were down, when one, an old servitor, spurred to the side of Joan de Tany and Mary de Stutevill. "Come, my ladies," he cried, "quick and you may escape.
