Chapter Nine clustered in the doorway, gasping as Ben executed a low dive under John's sword stroke, followed by a flying kick that sent his assailant's dagger sailing through the air perilously close to the viewers' admiring faces. Or exclaiming, as Red demonstrated his method for breaking a headlock applied by a very determined enemy-an effective maneuver, if unethical. And it was not only these three that used their time thus. Red had a small but lethal fighting force, any of whom, I thought, could have given Cormack a good run for his money. And that was saying something. It intrigued me that these cowmen and foresters and millers were able, in a matter of moments, to transform themselves into skillful warriors of deadly purpose. Lord Richard had scorned Red for his reluctance to confront the enemy. But I thought, he will be ready when the time comes. As he was before. If I were his enemy, I would not be making slighting remarks. I would be getting ready for the combat right now. It took me some time to remember that I and my kind were the enemy; I had almost fallen into the trap of thinking I belonged here.
