Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Philip Augustus, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, the Brothers in Arms
He bade the page follow, however, in a hur ried and confused tone, and passed rapidly on through the castle hall into the town, and to the lodging where he had left his retainers. His horse stood saddled in the court, and all seemed prepared for departure; and without well knowing why, but with the mere indistinct desire of ?ying from the sorrows that pursued him, he mounted his horse and turned him to the road.
Shall we follow, my Lord? Demanded his Squire, running at his bridle as he rode forward.
Ha - Yes lav - Follow replied the Count, and galloped on with the letter the page had given him, still in his hand. He rode on with the swiftness of the wind; whenever his horse made the least pause, urging him forward with the spur, as if a moment's cessation of his rapid pace gave him up again to the dark and gloomy thoughts that pursued him like fierce and winged fiends.
