Chapter XI
THIBAUT CANTELEU “WHO would risk never, risks ever,” said the Princess Audiart, and moving her rook, checked the marshal’s king. Her cousin Guida, a blonde of much beauty, sitting watching the game, made a sound of demurral. The marshal’s hand hovered over a piece. “Do not play courtly, Lord Stephen,” said the princess. “Play fairly!”
