At their last halt, even Philip was for waiting and sending on to Paris to inform Sir Francis Walsingham of their situation 3 but Berenger only shook his head, dressed himself, and imperatively signed to go on. It was a bright morning, With a clear frost, and the towers and steeples of Paris presently began, to appear above the poplars that bordered the way but by this time Berenger was reeling in his saddle, and he presently became so faint and dizzy, that Philip and Humfrey were obliged to lift him from his horse, and lay him under an elm-tree that stood a little back from the road. Look up, sir, it is but a league further, quoth Humfrey I can see the roof of the big Church they call Notre Dame.
