It really wasn\u2019t very long at all before they were packed up and ready to go. There was no way to disguise the face that someone had camped there, but she hoped their trail would be obscure enough to prevent Sir Kit from catching up to them easily. The villagers would deceive him as much as they could, she knew, but the one thing Sir Kit was good at was hunting.<\/p>\n

Concealing her worry from Sir Isaac, she let him assist her to mount Buttons \u2014 sitting before him instead of behind \u2014 and they set off through the Wolf Forest again. She let herself rest back against him with a little thrill. After a time, she asked, \u2018How far is it to your lord\u2019s castle?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They didn’t actually stop very often, once or twice for water, once for lunch, a few times to relieve themselves. As dusk began to close in, they emerged from the Wolf Forest into an area of carefully tilled fields. A castle loomed in the distance.<\/p>\n
