Rupert turned aside the point and straightened his arm, and his antagonist fell to the ground, run completely through the body.
"You are a witness that I killed him in fair fight," Rupert said, turning to the young man, who gazed stupefied at the body of his comrade, and then sheathing his sword bounded away to the stables.
Hugh was there.
"Quick, Hugh; saddle Ronald.

I have just killed young Brownlow, and must ride for it." Hugh stood for a moment astonished, and then calling a helper ran into the stables.

In a minute he came out with two horses saddled.
Without a word Rupert leapt on one, while he vaulted on the other, and the two dashed off at full speed.
"Where are you going, Master Rupert ?" "To London," Rupert said.

"This is no place for me now.

I killed him in fair fight, and after warning; still, what with Sir William and my lady mother, there will be no stopping here.
