Catherine: One Love Is Enough (Catherine Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
They would fall back a few paces with it, then rush forward and hurl it with all their might against the ironclad gate. The gate reverberated under these assaults like a gigantic drum, the men’s own grunted exclamations providing a sort of rhythmical counterpoint. Urged on by the fury of the watching mob, the men redoubled their efforts, and soon the palace gate was creaking and groaning under the strain. One crack was already visible, despite the heavy, twisted iron bars reinforcing the doors. The gate consisted of high double doors of solid oak surmounted by a pointed stone arch, guarded by two stone angels kneeling, hands folded, on either side of the French royal arms, its golden lilies on a field of azure gleaming softly in the April sunlight. Higher up still, beyond the crenellated walls where archers of the royal guard took aim at the mob, the rooftops and high gables of the Palace of Saint-Pol traced their flamboyant, fantastic outlines against the sky, and great embroidered silken banners waved amid the treetops.
