CHAPTER 11

Give doubt the password, and the outer battlements are traitorously1 stormed. Parley2 with pity, and the white banner flutters on the keep.
Provided her emotions inspire her, a woman is strong; let her take to logic3, and she is a rushlight wavering in the wind. In her red heart lies her divinity; her feet are of clay when reason rules her head.
The girl Yeoland took doubt to her chamber4 that night, a malicious5 sprite, sharp of wit and wild of eye. All the demons6 of discord7 were loosed in the silence of the night. Pandora's box stood open, and the hours were void of sleep; faces crowded the shadows, voices wailed8 in the gloom. Her thoughts rioted like frightened bats fluttering and squeaking9 round a torch. Sleep, like a pale Cassandra, stood aloof10 and watched the mask of these manifold emotions.
Turn and twist as she would amid her fevered pillows, a wild voice haunted her, importunate11 and piteous. As the cry of one sinking in a stormy sea, it rang out with a passionate12 vehemence13. Moreover, there was a subtle echo in her own heart, a strong appeal that did not spare her, toss and struggle as she would. Decision fluttered like a wounded bird.
