Lady Emily Thorpe searched the woods.
The lamp illumed the place.
As she went further inside, she saw several roguish Knights. They wore a silver colored helmet, silver colored chainmail, brown colored breeches, and silver colored boots on their feet.
To the left were silver colored swords; to their right were silver colored shields.
"What is Lady Emily Thorpe doing here?", asked a Knight.
"She's left Thorpe Hall...Maybe she won't come back...". Another Knight answered.
"Maybe I will marry her". A Knight said.
"She's 13". Another Knight said.
"My sister was 13 when she married", the Knight said.
"Too young I say", the Knight shook his head. He focused on the young Lady. "Don't want to go here M'Lady after dark", he warned.
"I have a lamp, Sir", Lady Emily Thorpe said, as she strode purposefully towards the camp, and sat down near the Irish Knights, and sat down near the warm campfire...and ate some of the stew that they were eating.
