Excerpt from Count Robert of Paris, Vol. 2 of 2: The Surgeon's Daughter Hereward was not long in tracing the cry through the wooded walks, when a female rushed into his arms; alarmed, as it appeared, by Sylvan, who was pursuing her closely. The figure of Here ward, with his axe uplifted, put an instant stop to his career, and, with a terrified note of his native cries, he withdrew into the thickest of the adjoin ing foliage. Relieved from his presence, Hereward had time to look at the female whom he had succoured. She was arrayed in a dress which consisted of several colours, that which predominated being a pale yellow; her tunic was of this colour, and, like a modern gown, was closely fitted to the body, which, in the present case, was that of a tall but very well-formed person. The mantle, or upper garment, in which the whole figure was wrapped, was of fine cloth; and the kind of hood which was attached to it, having own back with the rapidity of her motion, gave to View the hair, beautifully adorned and twisted into a natural headdress.
