The Lady of the Shroud

BOOK IV: UNDER THE FLAGSTAFF
56/79

RUPERT'S JOURNAL--_Continued_.
_June_ 3, 1907.
Another week has elapsed--a week full of movement of many kinds and in many ways--but as yet I have had no tale or tidings of my Lady of the Shroud.

I have not had an opportunity of going again in daylight to St.
Sava's as I should have liked to have done.

I felt that I must not go at night.

The night is her time of freedom, and it must be kept for her--or else I may miss her, or perhaps never see her again.
