CHAPTER 11

In the Castle of Mogodore

NOW to get ourselves captured,” whispered Peter eagerly, as they finally reached the bottom of the stair.

“It should not be difficult,” answered Snif, who had flown ahead and now came back to rest on Peter’s shoulder. “Behold! Be bold! Look! Gaze and tremble!” Stepping out of the dim tower into the courtyard of the fort, Peter gave a little whistle of consternation and surprise. Drawn up in glittering rows were a thousand mounted men in armor, each holding a golden spear.

“Something’s afoot here,” muttered Belfaygor behind his waving whiskers.

“You mean a horse, don’t you?” corrected Jack, straightening his head and dusting a cobweb off his chin. “Is that sack quite ready Peter?” Peter nodded and as one of the armored riders caught sight of the intruders and galloped furiously forward, he called boldly, “Conduct us to your chief. We have important tidings to impart.”

“Impart them to me,” ordered the horseman, lifting his visor and frowning down at the little boy. “Impart them to me, or I’ll prick ye over yon wall.”
