“I must stay whether I wish to or not,” replied Miss Baffin. “But I shall worry about you every moment while you are gone.”
“Sir Dinadan may be able to soothe her,” said Sir Bleoberis, with a smile.
“I think I could, if I were allowed to try,” insinuated Sir Agravaine.
“I charge Sir Dinadan and his noble parents with the task,” said the Professor.
The entire party, with the exception of Sir Agravaine, then returned to the castle, so that the Professor could make ready for the journey.
CHAPTER III.
THE RESCUE.
Professor Baffin politely declined to wear the armor of Sir Dinadan upon the journey. He packed a few things in a satchel, and putting his revolver in his pocket, he bade adieu to his daughter and the members of the Baron’s family. Mounting his horse by the side of Sir Bleoberis, who rode in full armor, the two trotted briskly out through the woods to the roadway, which ran by not far from the castle.
“Where shall we go to look for the lady?” asked the Professor, as the Knight started down the road at a rapid pace.
“The villain, no doubt, has carried her captive to his castle. We shall seek her there.”
