Mellis knew the ways, and through all the heat of the day she guided Martin southwards toward the Rondel river, picking up the wild tracks and never faltering1 in her choice. They kept to the woods, and avoided the open heaths, sometimes following a brown stream that flickered2 under the green shadows and leaving it when it left the woods. Not a living creature did they see save a few deer far down a deep glade3, a hawk4 searching for food, and once, a gray-green snake basking5 on a bank in the sun.
A gloom seemed to have fallen on the Forest, and even the young foliage6 looked darker, heavier, less bright with the freshness of spring. The open woods were full of a listening sadness, a mysterious expectancy7; for Death was out, Death and the Lord of Troy. Yet Mellis was touched by no such melancholy8, no sinister9 forebodings; her man’s life was in her hands, her eyes were keen and watchful10; danger gave a sparkle to her beauty; the day’s need steadied her heart.
Martin Valliant watched her, and marveled. He forgot his wounds in looking at her forest-shaded face with its clean, clear comeliness12, its alert, proud self-trust. There was nothing more wonderful than her eyes and the way they filled with light when meeting his. Their color seemed so elusive
