In Freedom’s Cause

CHAPTER VII
23/30

Among the trees here he can watch the road all the way from the castle to the point where it enters the forest.

Do you, Cluny, take post here at once.
Mark well all that passes, and what is doing, and all bodies of men who enter or leave the castle.

There is no occasion to bring news to me, for it would be unlikely that we should meet in the forest; you have therefore only to watch.

Tomorrow I shall return with the band, and encamp in the woods farther back.

Directly we arrive, you will be relieved of your guard." The following day the band moved up to a spot within half a mile of the seaward edge of the forest, and a few hundred yards from the road to Crossraguel Abbey.
