Sibotim's greatest story of love and 'adventure
byRAFAEL’ SABATINI
(Published by Arran
What has gone before Sir
Oliver Tressilian, renowned for
his exploits on the Spanish Main,
is betrothed to Rosamund Godol
pliin; hut because of personal en
mity growing out. of land dis
putes the marriage is opposed by
Rosamund’s brother, Peter, and
her guardian. Sir Killigrew.
Oliver, incensed at Sir John's
references to him as a “pirate,”
engages him in a duel and de
feats him. He then proceeds
to Godolphin Court to apprise
Rosamund of the affair.—Now
go on with the story.
CHAPTER 11—Cont inued
H<3 found her in her bower—
a light, turreted chamber
on the mansion’s eastern
side, with windows that looked
out upon that lovely sheet of
water and the wooded slopes be
yond.
She rose with a little exclama
tion of gladness when he ap
peared under the lintel —scarce
high enough to admit him with
out. stooping—and stood regard
ing him across the room with
brightened ej'es and flushing
cheeks.
Like her brother, she was
tawney headed and she was di
vinely tall, though as yet her
figure in its girlishness was al
most too slender for her height.
“I had not looked for you so
early"—she was beginning, when
she observed that his counte
nance was oddly stern.
"Why—what has happened?”
she cried, her intuitions clamor
ing loudly of some mischance.
"Naught to alarm you, sweet:
yet something that may vex
you.” He set an arm about that
lissom waist of hers above the
swelling farthingale, and gently
led her back to her chair, then
flung himself upon the window
seat beside her.
“You hold Sir John Killigrew
in some affection?” he said be
tween statement and inquiry.
“Why, yes. He was our
guardian until m.y brothers came
of full age.”
Sir Oliver made a wry face.
“Aye, there's the rub. Well,
I’ve all but killed hint.”
She drew back into her chair,
recoiling before him, and he saw
horror leap to her eyes and
blanch her face. He made haste
to explain the causes that had
led to this; he told 1 er briefly of
the calumnies concerning him
that Sir John had put about to
vent his spite at having been
thwarted in the matter of his
coveted license to build at Smith
ick.
that mattered little.” he con
cluded. “I knew these tales con
cerning me were abroad, and I
held them in the same contempt
as I hold their utterer. But he
went further, Rose; he poisoned
your brother's mjnd against me,
and he stirred up in him the
slumbering rancor that in my
father's time was wont to lie be
tween our houses. Today Peter
came to me with the clear intent
to make a quarrel. He affronted
me as no man has ever dared.”
She cried out at that, her al
ready' great alarm redoubled. He
smiled.
“Do not suppose that I could
harm him. He is your brother,
and. so. sacred to me. He came
to tell me that no betrothal was
possible between us, forbade me
ever again to visit Godolphin
( ourt. dubbed me pirate and
'umpire to my face and reviled
my father's memory. 1 tracked
the evil of all this to its source
in Killigrew, ami rode straight
to Arwenack to dam that source
of falsehood for all time. I did
not accomplish quite so much as
I intended. You see, I am frank,
my Rose. It may be that Sir
John will live; if so I hone that
he may profit by his lesson. I
have come straight to vou," he
concluded, “that you may hear
the tale from me before another
comes to malign me with false
stories of this happening.”
"You—you mean Peter?" sh“
cried.
Y," as ' s '?hed.
Site sat very still and white,
looking straight before her and
not at all at Sir Oliver. At length
she spoke.
“I ant not skilled in reading
men.' she said in a sad. sm;:H
voice. "How should I be. that am
hut a maid who has led a clois
tered life? I was told of you .hat
you were violent and passionate,
a man of bitter enmities, easily
stirred to hatreds, cruel and
ruthless in the persecution of

"You. too. have been listening

He saw horror leap to her
ynu. Yet —yet of what have you
made proof today?"
He set hims'elf to explain.
“I have told you what Sir
John had done. I have told you
that the greater part of it —and
matter all that touched my hon
or—l know Sir John to have
done long since. Yet 1 suffered it
in silence and contempt. Was
that to show myself easily stir
red to ruthlessness? What was
it but forbearance? When, how
ever, he carries his petty huck
ster's rancor so far as to seek
to choke for me m.v source of
happiness in life and sends your
brother to affront me, I am still
so forbearing that 1 recognize
your brother to be no more than
a tool and go straight to the
hand that wielded him. Because
I know of your affection for Sir
John I gave him such latitude
as no man of honor in England
would have given him.”
Then seeing that she still
avoided his regard, still sat in
that frozen attitude of horror at
learning that the man she loved
had imbrued his hands with the
blood of another whom she also
loved, his pleading quickened to
a warmer note.
“Rose,” he cried, and his deep
voice quivered with interces
sion, “dismiss all that you have
heard from out your mind. Con
sider only’ this thing that has
befallen. Suppose that Lionel,
my brother, came to you and
that, having some measure of
power and authority to support
him. he l swqre to you that you
should never wed me, swore to
prevent this marriage because
he deemed you such a woman as
could not bear my name with
honor to myself: and suppose
that to all this he added insult
tc the memory’ of your dead fa
ther. what answer would you
return him?”
Her eyes scanned now his face,
every line us which was plead
ing to her and calling for im
partial judgment. Her face grew
troubled, and then almost fierce.
She set her hands upon his
shoulders and looked deep into
his eyes.
“You swear to me. Noll, that
all is as you have told it me —
you have added naught, yiou
have altered naught to make the
■ tale more favorable to your-
I self?”
i “Ytut need such oaths from
me?” he asked, and s’ne saw
i sorrow spread upon his counte
nance.
“If I did I should not love
thee, Noll. But in such an hour I
need your assurance. Will you
net be generous and bear with
me. strengthen me to with
stand anything that may be said
i hereafter?”
“As God's my witness, I have
told you tru° in all." he an
swered solemnly.
“Then.” she said. “I believe
I y 0 .4 acted rightly. 1 believe with
you that no man of honor could
have acted otherwise. I must be
lieve you, Noll, for did I not then
1 could believe in naught and
hope for naught. I am contcm

'True I shall ever be. sweet-
