to no avail . Every community in the great forest has been affected

even sir William of Belford who has a company of men at arms on patrol has lost three



or just vanished into the air . not a trace of them nothing

surely it is the work of witches armed by the devil . armed by human devil sir Thomas

surely you don't believe in such things as witches and evil spirits?
These youngsters must have been kidnapped

or not a score of men in this part of the country who would share your beliefs sir Ivanhoe

we shall see sir Thomas. We shall be eternally grateful for any help that you can give us.

Our people must be protected at all costs.

But now come you must need refreshment and rest after your long journey.
