It was mid-morning when I heard the approach of horses' hooves and a carriage's wheels on the dusty track that serves as the highway in our isolated part of the realm.
Astride my steed, I glanced both ways down the long, straight stretch. Seeing nothing else, I urged my horse out of hiding, just yards in front of the lead horses. The surprised driver drew rein, his eyes large looking at the pistol in my hand.
"Good morning, sir," I said through my mask. "If you'll be so kind, pull your carriage up this lane to the end."
There, the handmaid squealed so I gagged them and tied them to a sapling. The driver's back was to it with his hands tied behind him, and her facing it, with hers tied in front of him. The tree between them, they gasped in surprise when they felt the locations of their hands.
The beautiful Catherine, the lord's daughter and object of my efforts, looked fearful as I climbed into the carriage. For a silver coin, a Judas had told me she would travel this way.
"Milady, if you'll give me your jewels and money, I'll be on my way, and you on yours."
Biting her lip, she handed me her purse and removed her earrings, her rings, and a bracelet.
"There, take it. Go."
