All Clear

"So" said Sir Gawain to young Marten the page, "You have come with a message from Sir Hubert that the convoy with the Lady Katherine should reach the bridge on Saturday but you don't know which  road they will be coming by?"


"No milord" answered young Marten, "But I saw nothing on my journey to suggest that there is any danger to the convoy on either route."

  8. "Quiet journey, then, young Marten?" Sir Gawain grinned, though his eyes narrowed as he surveyed the roads by which the page had just arrived.
    "Extremely so," agreed the page.
    "As though Nature were holding her breath?"
    "A deathly hush," affirmed the page.
    "TOO quiet, perhaps?" murmured the knight...
