Prisoner Of The Flames (Leisure Historical Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
It was very late, but the magistrate had wine brought to the parlor study, and sat in his favorite Glastonbury chair beside the chimney while Robert highlighted his interview with Doctor Nostradamus. “I’m sorry, Robert,” Montaigne said, genuinely. “I know you do not think it, but I had hoped.” “It was folly, my coming. I think I always knew it. I shan’t pretend that I am not disappointed. And worse yet, I must take part in this raid I want no truck with. Has there been any more word about when it is to be?” “No, but there is something else,” Montaigne said. “After you left, I did receive a summons from the Queen Mother, which is just as well, of course, because it legitimized my lie. I am to have an audience with Catherine de’ Medici on the morrow, and you must come with me.” “But, why?” “Because you are not safe here alone,” Montaigne told him. “If they should come for you, I will not know of it, and I cannot protect you if I do not know what has happened to you.”
