Then the princess looked in through the low doorway and seemed content.
"It is as well as one can expect on board a ship, I suppose," she said, with a little sigh.

"But I will send him somewhat to cover him well." And then she bade me farewell, bidding me be patient for the little while of the voyage, and also adding that presently, when she was at home, she would ask Govan the hermit to pray for me; and so went her way, with the two maidens who were with her, and followed by a couple of well-armed warriors, all of whom I could see now for the first time.
Then Evan drew his hand over his forehead and cursed.

As for the other Welshmen, they looked at one another, saying nothing, but I could see that they also had been fairly terrified.

One of the men of the princess came with a warm blanket to cover me, and he stayed to see it put over me.

It was as well that he did so, for Evan had no time to see that my arm was yet loose, unless he had forgotten that it ever had been so.
