Short tale.

Sound of voices out of his contemplation to the traveler, he saw leaving the trees and head towards the bridge a man and a woman, in animated conversation. Her first court elegant suit, although dark color and decorations and medals without distinguishing the gentlemen of the royal escort. Long and very blond hair and beard, black hair contrasted with the beautiful young man who was at his side. She was tall and slender, dark and handsome face. He wore a red velvet cap cocked coquettishly, rich and well-fitting suit and gloved right hand in a small falcon, whose ruffled feathers gently stroked. Roger noticed that the beautiful stranger was a whole side of her dress stained with mud. Half hidden in the shadow of a huge oak, beheld this apparition embebecido radiant, pure and beautiful that face that reminded him of the angels painted and carved altars Belmonte.

At last the girl came forward a few steps to his companion and they quickly crossed the lawn to reach the rustic bridge, where they stopped and resumed the interrupted conversation. Are two lovers? This thought certainly the only witness to this scene, but soon noticed that the man intercepted bridge over to the girl and that it is expressed with great animation, coming to take his voice sometimes accents of menace and anger. From time to time cast a glance into the forest, as if waiting for help on that side and finally took her face such an expression of anguish that Roger, unable to resist this mute appeal, he left his hiding place and walked rapidly toward the bridge. Had come very close to both characters without their noticing his presence, when the man suddenly linked his arm with the girl’s waist and pressed against his chest. He gave her the frightened hawk and giving a sharp cry slapped and scratched the face of the villain, trying in vain to free himself.
