About this audiobook
Then he bent in his saddle and went on in a hurried urgent whisper: “I love her better than my life, Stephen—better than heaven; and my faith and word are pledged to her; and last night I was to have fled with her—for I knew better than to face the old Lion—but Osra found her making preparations and we were discovered. Then Osra was scornful, and the King mad, and Rudolf laughed; and when they talked of what was to be done to her, Osra came in with her laughing suggestion. It caught the King's angry fancy, and he swore that it should be so. And, since the Archbishop is away, he has bidden the Bishop of Modenstein be at the palace at twelve to-day, and you will be brought there also, and you will be married to her. But, by heavens, I'll have your blood if you are!” With this sudden outbreak of fury the Prince ended. Yet a moment later, he put out his hand to the smith, saying: “It's not your fault, man.”...FROM THE BOOKS.
