In The Palace Of The King

CHAPTER II
9/30

I intend to send you to Las Huelgas to-morrow morning.

I am in earnest, and unless you consent to give up this folly and to marry as I wish, you shall stay there for the rest of your natural life.

Do you understand?
And until to-morrow morning you shall stay within these doors.

We shall see whether Don John of Austria will try to force my dwelling first and a convent of holy nuns afterwards.

You will be safe from him, I give you my word of honour,--the word of a Spanish gentleman and of your father.
