[Yolanda: Maid of Burgundy by Charles Major]@TWC D-Link bookYolanda: Maid of Burgundy CHAPTER XIII 7/33
"Double your kindness by bringing him to-morrow at the noon hour, after the morning audience.
We must now follow the princess.
Adieu, messieurs." The duke touched his cap, and we bent almost to our horses' manes. Charles and Hymbercourt rode forward at a brisk canter, and Max and I followed slowly.
We entered Cambrai Gate three or four minutes after the duke and the princess. Max, eager to exhibit his hawk to Yolanda, proposed that we ride directly to Castleman's house. While we were crossing the Cologne bridge we saw the duke's party enter the castle by the Postern, and as we turned a corner toward Castleman's the ladies looked in our direction and the gentlemen lifted their caps. "Yolanda will be delighted when she sees my hawk," said Max. I did not answer, but I thought that Yolanda would not see the bird that evening, since she had just entered the castle with her father.
I was in great glee of spirits; I had at last trapped the young lady.
