”I never did.“ ‘Because you had the sense to know he’d never let us go. Not even me.“ ‘It wasn’t more sense. I wasn’t as desperate.“ ‘Desperate, or else mad to think there was ever escape.“ There was a bleakness in Miles’ voice that Hugh could not answer and silence came back between them, Hugh watching the water flow, hoping they were done with talk, until Miles said, even more quietly, “Marry Philippa.” Hugh jerked up his head too sharply, hurting his neck. Sharp with the pain, he said, “No! ...Not if you—” ‘Marry her,“ Miles said, still quietly, not looking up, watching his last grass blade swirl away out of the pool. ”If you don’t, who knows what kind of man Sir William will marry her to. Marry her so she’ll be safe.“ Staring at the top of Miles’ head, Hugh looked for some answer but found none, and said finally, bitterly, “I’m glad Sir Ralph is dead.” ‘The pity,“ Miles said, ”is that it didn’t happen sooner.“ He sprang to his feet, startling the hounds, who all sat up, looking around for whatever the trouble was.MoreLess
