Passion And Pride (A Historical Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
They all dressed simply, in the plainest clothes they owned, and carried only a small bundle of bread and two bottles of water. Dardanelle’s pockets were stuffed with money. In a bag slung over his shoulder, Evan carried the dueling pistols he had smuggled into the country, plus a bottle of ink, a quill for writing, several pieces of paper, and a box of matches. Both men wore red caps on their heads to try to blend into the crowd running wild in the streets. There was one major problem: they had to cross the Seine River to get to their destination. The nearest bridge within the city gates, the Pont Royal, was very close to the palace and the scene of the battle. To avoid the tumult, they settled on the Pont Neuf, even though that meant adding an extra half mile to their journey. The closer they got to the Tuileries Palace, the more people who ran through the streets, shouting and roaring. By the time they got approached the Palace, the streets were a scene of slaughter and mayhem. Evan had never seen the ravages of war before, but he got a firsthand look as they walked along the boulevards.
