From page 2...
"Eleanor moved through the crowd like a swan over a lake, looking neither left nor right, while the courtiers surged around her, bend and bobbed and jostled each other and waved their hands and spoke her name, begging for a glance. Her name sounded constantly. Among this homage she walked as if she were utterly alone, her attention fixed on the throne, and the while crowd turned after her as if she held their eyes on leading strings."

ReplyDelete"Arming themselves as they went with sticks, fashioning bamboo lances hastily as they walked, they marched directly to Nakayama Pass, not even pausing to rest on the way. They reached it just before noon, only to find that they were too late.
ReplyDeleteMusashi: Book 1 - The Way of the Samurai page 162.
Lovely writing and I just love Eleanor anyway.
ReplyDeleteAt least I assume it was her.
Sorry, I'm a little late visiting this...
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser though! I can totally visualize Eleanor walking through the crowd unfazed.
Here is our teaser for this week.
