The Escape

Despite Lerans’s assurances, Steven was worried about the Doctor. If he were not pretending to be the Abbot, then where was he? He had been gone for a day and although Steven thought that it was possible for the Doctor to be still with Preslin he didn’t think it probable. He decided that there was only one solution – to go to Preslin’s home and find out for himself. But when he tried to leave the Admiral’s house he was politely restrained and told that he required the signed permission of either Lerans or Muss.

Angrily he demanded to see one or the other but was told that Muss was with the Admiral and could not be disturbed and Lerans had gone to the King of Navarre’s residence.

As he stormed back to his room he met Anne in a corridor beside the pantry. He drew her to one side and discreetly asked if she knew a way out of the house without being observed.

‘I haven’t been here long enough to know anything like that, sir,’ she replied.

‘Isn’t there some way through the kitchens?’ Steven persisted.

Anne thought for a moment before replying. ‘Not really, sir,’ she said, ‘unless you talk about putting out the rubbish.’

‘How do you do that?’ Steven asked.

‘By the tunnel from the scullery. It leads to the other side of the wall but it’s ever so scary,’ she replied.

Steven smiled. ‘Will you show it to me?’ he asked.

Being mid-afternoon, the kitchens were deserted while everyone took a siesta so Steven and Anne reached the scullery without being seen. She pointed to a small door in the wall.
