"Thank you, Lady Marie. I knew I could depend on you. It may be a while
before 'tis safe to take my lady home,"
Ranuff said.
But later, as they lay in each other's arms in the great bed in the 1ord's
chamber, satisfied from theft lovemaking, Ranulf and Aldyth almost quarreled.
"I do not understand why I cannot go to court with you-- if I dressed as
Edward, of course. Why must you leave me here while you go off to Winchester
and London? I want to be with you, not here by myself."
"You won't be by yourself here with Lady Marie to look after you,"
Ranulf pointed out, maddening her with his patient tone. "" Tis not safe for
you to come to court with me. " ' " It was safe before," Aldyth stubbornly
insisted. " For th short time you were there," he retorted.
"Besici, at that time I thought you dislik me, so I could keep my hands off
you, if not always my eyes.
"Twould not be so anymore, sweetheart. My face would give away the game in a
trice."
He stroked his hands over her as if unable to control himself and laughed
like a madman, which had Aldyth giggling for a moment.

"Please, love, just be patient awhile longer. I need to see how matters lie
at court and to talk to your brother Warin.
I sent him word as to when I'd be back, so he'll be waiting. I wonder if
he's heard aught from Godrio regarding you.
Mayhap he'll even have news of Turold. "
She considered his words.
"And you'll try to send word to my father that I'm back in England and well?"
She knew Ranulf had written her father earlier that she was with him, and
Sir Nyle had written back that he was relieved she was safe with Lord RanulL
"If I can do it secretly. I don't want Godfie getting wind of it unless
perchance he's had a change of heart about Normans, at least the Norman who
loves his sister." Aldyth had to be content with that. She knew his reasons
were sound, and she hated sounding like a petulant child, but she also hated
the thought of any separation from him.
They'd already lost so much time. But at least while she waited for him at
Beauworth, she need not don a boy's clothes again or cut the haft that was
finally beginning to grow, if only a little.
"I don't like being away from you, either, sweetheart," Ranulf told her.

"I am going to begin, little by little, to edge out of the king's inner
circle."
"Can you do that?"
"I think so, though 'twill have to be slow. I'll say my lord father is
getting along in years and needs me more at Kingselere. And I'll plead a
need to pay more attention to Beauworth.
I'll say Sir Rene is lax in his care of the keep if I'm not there often--an
outrageous lie if there ever was one. Sir Rene needs supervision less than
any easellan in the kingdom, except perhaps your good father.
"Twill give me an excuse to get away every few days to come to you here. "
Tis but an hour's ride when we are in Winchester, though 'tis two days from
London. "
She must have still looked sad, for he told her he would be unable to stay
away and that his heart would be here.
Aldyth sighed and closed her eyes. If she must be parted temporarily from
her beloved, it might be very enjoyable to spend her days stitching new gowns
with Lady Marie and learning how to make her delicious pork pies.
Desiderata was finding the shores of England strangely inhospitable.

She had set out from Dover on a flashy white palfrey she bought with the sale
of her sapphire necklace, escorted by two burly Englishmen she hired to
protect her from brigands. Her destination was the royal court. She
couldn't wait to talk to King William Rufus and tell him where Lord Ranulf's
allegiance really lay. How she would laugh when that damned arrogant lord
had paid the price of his treason. She would laugh right in his grieving
leman's face.
HerEnglish escort spoke only haltingFrench . She treated the two men with a [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
