On the night of the first of November, a gentleman answering to the description of Carewe came to the inn, which was empty at the time save for one traveller. The inn wench told the story — and it took a heavy bribe, du Bac says, to un- loose her tongue. There was a quarrel of some sort, and the two men drew upon each other. Carewe was killed — the other man fled. There you have the story, such as it is. For myself I choose to accept it — du Bac has reason to be careful of lying to me. He got f...rom the girl a ring with Carewe's arms upon it, which I doubt not she plundered from his body. The proof is plain enough." " And the man who slew Robin had fled? " " The inn wench had never seen him be- fore, and did not know his name^ or so she said." Milady Di stood silent for a moment. " I will find him," she said at last. " I will find him somehow— somewhere ; and I will avenge Robin. I will hunt that man down." THE KING'S EVIDENCE 221 Her face showed tense and cruel as she spoke, beautiful and resentful as an avenging an- gel's.
