Excerpt from The White Hoods, Vol. 3 of 3: An Historical Romance
The greater part of that night, in which the Earl of Flanders so miraculously escaped the imminent dangers by which he was surrounded, was spent by him, Anna, and the poor widow, in devising means for his escape, since his continuance in Bruges appeared so fraught with peril, that it was deemed better, at all events, to quit the town as soon as possible, and rather to trust to such a chance of escape as the open fields and plains might offer, than to remain where he was.
Female acuteness is generally most conspicuous in moments of difficulty that require promptitude and alacrity; so was it now.
