Winter Song
“If William was distressed by the sight of his daughter’s blood on the sheets, which were removed to be stored as evidence of Alys’s virginity, the feeling was dispelled by the happiness that made her eyes sparkle and her cheeks glow.
There was comfort too in the absorbed, devoted attention Raymond paid to her at all times.
And Elizabeth felt she was paid in full for every effort she had made for her stepdaughter by the rare embrace Alys bestowed on her, and the grateful thanks that made clear t...hat Alys had taken her advice and it had been fruitful.
In the great tourney that fully occupied the next two days, no one was seriously hurt, and Alys enjoyed it as much as anyone because her husband, the groom, was not permitted to fight in it. The hunts were an unqualified success, also. Raymond fortunately killed the largest boar and the widest-antlered stag. Alys, quite properly, killed nothing, but she rode with the hunt and witnessed her husband taking his prizes.
The dinners continued excellent, although not nearly so long and elaborate as the wedding feast, and the entertainment always gave pleasure.MoreLess
