After Rome
“If they have souls. Cadogan would know better than I—especially now. Hail, cousin! Floating up there above the clouds. I hope you were right about your God and your heaven.
I would rather have Tintagel.
* * * The journey to Tintagel was an arduous one. Speed was sacrificed to the requirements of the injured man, which meant Dinas and his company must proceed at a walk. Day after day. The dark horse never submitted to the forced pace; he tried his rider’s patience with his constant prancing ...and head tossing. When Dinas dismounted and led him it was worse, the stallion tossed his head so violently he almost pulled the man off his feet. Dinas could feel the dark fire of his own hot temper flickering just beneath the surface. He had never lost his temper with his horse, nor in front of his men. But it could happen.
Dangerously, it could happen. He knew from past experience that if he really lost his temper he could not control himself at all.
