They were still within the forest; long days and nights of strike-and-run raids made them as wary as any wolf in the woods.

Brendan heard the slightest rustle in the trees, and stepped back, waiting.

Thomas de Longueville, pirate, had changed his ways—just barely. Having received a full pardon from the French king, he had decided that life in Paris would not be to his liking. He had chosen to cast his fate with the Scots, and was proving to be as wily and agile on land as he had been at sea. He was small and slim, capable of great speed, and of climbing a tree with the same expertise he had used on a ship's rigging. He reached Brendan with little more than that slight ruse, but he was somewhat out of breath.

"Tis the wagon coming, just as we were told." He paused, hands on his knees, taking in a deep breath. "There's ale, great barrels of ale, and more trunks than you can imagine. They might well contain the armor Lord Hebert ordered for the men at the fortress they're building on the river. Freshly fashioned by some of the finest masters in Germany! And there might well be some silks as well, ordered by the Lord's lady—what a waste, for they say she is uglier than a mastiff"

"And how do you know all this?"

De Longueville grinned. "One of Lord Hebert's dairy maids. A plump and garrulous little lass, with a tart tongue in many ways. A lovely lass, though, with a fine affinity for all things French."

"Aye, and there he goes, bragging of his prowess again!" Liam MacAllister moaned.
