Blanche Fury Page #4

Fury. Why shouldn't you?

I suppose you think it's presumptuous

on the part of a governess.

You may not always be a governess.

I'm sure that possibility's

occurred to you.

Perhaps.

And what would you say then, Mr. Thorn?

I should say, "Congratulations, Miss Fury.

" Or again, "Congratulations, Mrs. Fury. "

According to whatever name

you were adopting at the time.

I think you're one of the most arrogant

people I've ever met, Mr. Thorn.

I come from an arrogant family.

Since you've taken that family's

name, you should know its legend.

And why 700 years ago,

Alaric Fury adopted a

Barbary ape as his crest.

He captured it on his

way to the First Crusade.

Shortly afterwards, he

was killed in battle.

The ape loved his master so much

that he would allow no-one to come near

his body when they wanted to bury him.

The legend has it that the ape still

watches over the rights of the Furys.

Hence the motto Beware Fury's Ape.

A very interesting story, Mr. Thorn.

But it has nothing to do with reality.

We shall see... Miss Fury.

Yes. We shall see.

- Hello, Molly.

- Hello. I was thinking you'd forgotten me.

I don't forget old friends.

- Nor do I. What'll you have to drink?

- Whisky.

Good day, gentlemen. Want anything?

- Staying in Stafford for the night?

- No.

You get along out of here! We

don't want to buy anything today.

Wait. Let's see what you've got.

God bless you both.

Buy something pretty

for the lady, mister.

How long have you gypsies

been in these parts?

Gypsies come today, mister.

That's funny. The police said

you'd been here three or four days.

- Gypsies bring good luck, mister.

- Not in my experience.

Where's your camp?

Long way away, mister. Over the hills.

I'll take these. Here you are, Molly.

With my love.

Well, aren't you a dear?

So your camp is over the hills,

is it? Where's that, exactly?

- Gypsy tell the lady's fortune?

- Go on, get out of here.

Thank you, mister. God bless you, lady.

I know where the stolen horses

are. I've seen them at a gypsy camp.

- Where's that?

- Over the hills. I'll show you.

- Which way?

- This way.

Yes, that's Westwood and the mare.

I'm going in to get them out.

Shouldn't we get the

stablemen from Clare?

No, there's not time.

They're breaking camp.

Will you help?

Of course. What must I do?

Approach the camp. Ask

the way back to Stafford.

That'll attract their

attention and give me time.

They're a rough crowd.

Keep a safe distance.

Any sign of trouble, get out fast.

Good afternoon. I've lost

my way. Can you help me?

Could you tell me the way to Stafford?

Use your whip! Come out this way!

Don't stop. I'll meet you up the hill!
