No one will particularly notice us, and we shall get into Tours safely enough.
"We must never enter a house or town together, for they will be on the lookout for three people, and neither a soldier with his head bound up, nor two peasant girls, will attract attention.

At Tours I will get a farmer's dress, and will buy a horse and cart, and a load of hay, and will pick you up outside the town.

You can get on the hay, and can cover yourselves over if you see any horsemen in pursuit.

After that it will be all easy work." "Why could you not get the cart at Orleans, Rupert ?" Adele asked.
"I might," he said; "but I think that the extra change would be best, as they would then have no clue whatever to follow.

They will trace us to Orleans, and you may be sure that there will be a hot hue and cry, and it may be that the fact of a horse and cart having been sold would come out.
