>"I didn't kill the boy." Sir Tallis rasped. "He's still alive. I couldn't-
>"Oh I heard your little speech." Sir Enfer said. 
>"I was afraid to move out of fear you might kill 
>him. But congratulations, at the end you managed 
>to do your duty. If only all knights could 
>remember to do their duty some of the time."
>"Stay away from him!" I yelled. Sir Enfer barely glanced at me.
>"Tallis I will march you back to the manor." 
>Enfer said. "Lord Leontes will hear the whole 
>story right away; you can expect his punishment 
>to be swift." Sir Tallis swallowed. "Now stand up." Tallis looked at me.
>"It's okay James. You can let go of me." I just squeezed him tighter.
>"Tallis now!" Sir Enfer snapped. Sir Tallis 
>reached up and removed my vice grip from his neck.
>"Nothing I can do now James." Sir Tallis 
>whispered, standing up. "It's okay. You're safe 
>now from the man who tried to kill you." He 
>turned to Enfer. "You need to send knights or anyone to rescue my family."
>"We will." Enfer said. "But you know they may 
>already be dead." Sir Tallis swallowed and nodded. "Now come on."Â
>I wanted to stay with Sir Tallis but Enfer 
>grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go. He dragged 
>both of us back home, to face my father.

Very bitter this section, what terrible misery 
here.  I actually hurt in my heart reading this.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
