He was troubled, in truth his heart lay very heavy\u003cbr\u003ewithin him. He was thinking over the terrible news that had come so\u003cbr\u003eswiftly, as evil report has a way of doing. But he had cause for\u003cbr\u003esatisfaction, too, and recalling it, he turned to gaze once more upon\u003cbr\u003ethe two lads who, escaping so many perils, had arrived at the shelter of\u003cbr\u003ehis home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert and Tayoga were thin and worn, their clothing was soiled and\u003cbr\u003etorn, but youth was youth and they were forgetting dangers past in a\u003cbr\u003esplendid dinner that the fat Caterina was serving for them while Mynheer\u003cbr\u003eJacobus, her master, stood by and saw the good deed well done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dining room, large and furnished solidly, was wonderful in its\u003cbr\u003eneatness and comfort. The heavy mahogany of table, sideboard and chairs\u003cbr\u003ewas polished and gleaming. No trace of dirt was allowed to linger\u003cbr\u003eanywhere. When the door to the adjoining kitchen opened, as Caterina\u003cbr\u003epassed through, pleasant odors floated in, inciting the two to fresh\u003cbr\u003eefforts at the trencher. It was all as it had been when they were young\u003cbr\u003eboys living there, attending the school of Alexander McLean and\u003cbr\u003etraveling by painful steps along the road to knowledge. In its snugness,\u003cbr\u003eits security and the luxury it offered it was a wonderful contrast to\u003cbr\u003ethe dark forest, where death lurked in every bush. Robert drew a long\u003cbr\u003esigh of content and poured himself another cup of coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And you escaped from the French after the great battle?\" said Mynheer\u003cbr\u003eJacobus, asking the same question over and over again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, sir,\" replied Robert, \"and it was not a difficult thing to do at\u003cbr\u003eall. The victory of the French was so remarkable, and I think so\u003cbr\u003eunexpected, that they were paying little attention to me. I just walked\u003cbr\u003eout of their camp, and the only man I met was the Chevalier de St. Luc,\u003cbr\u003ewho did not seem at all interested in stopping me--a curious fact, but a\u003cbr\u003efact all the same.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A great leader and a fine man iss the Chevalier de St. Luc,\" said Mr.\u003cbr\u003eHuysman.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073682358512,"sku":"2940013275089","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013275089_p0.jpg?v=1763579241","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013275089","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
