e of companions-inarms were travelling. This road curved down the side of a well-wooded hill, and then over the level for a quarter of a mile or so before opening on the other. Just at the brow of the rising ground there stood a thick bristle of trees, amid the trunks of which there came and went a bright shimmer of sparkling steel, which proclaimed the presence of armed men. Farther back, where the road took a sudden turn and ran along the ridge of the hill, several horsemen could be plainly seen outlined against the evening sky. So peaceful, however, was the long sweep of countryside, mellowed by the golden light Paris Saint-Germain of the setting sun, with a score of village steeples and manor-houses peeping out from amongst the woods, that it was hard to think Real Madrid Dame Fodboldtrøjer that the thundercloud of war Bayer Leverkusen Fodboldtrøjer was really lowering over Tjekkiet Fodboldtrøjer that fair valley, and that at any instant the lightning might break from it.
