Kings of Clonmel
“Halt wasn’t sure if Tennyson was watching their movements, but if he was, the Outsider would have seen them depart to the southwest. Once clear of the village, however, they followed a series of back roads and smaller trails that took them in a giant circle until they were headed due east, to Craikennis.
“What was the name of the fellow who led the false attack?” Halt asked Will at one stage.
“Driscoll,” Will told him.
“Well, we need to make sure that we don’t run into him and his scruffy band.... Keep your eye on the ground for any sign of tracks.”
Will nodded. They were all aware that Driscoll and his thirty men were heading in the same general direction they were, to rendezvous with Padraig and the main party a few kilometers from Craikennis. But as the afternoon wore on into evening, they saw no sign of them. Halt assumed they had taken a different route.
There was an early moon, and they continued riding after dark. To make up for the time they’d lost taking their original detour to the southwest, Halt led them off the road and they cut across country, directly toward Craikennis.MoreLess
