In CHAPTER XIV, Lucas, pursued by horsemen with hounds, persuades a young woman to conceal him in her hut. Between chapters, she and he sail to Cyprus where he leaves her in a convent. In CHAPTER XV, he travels and converses with Cypriotes and finds his way to his old friend, Brother Hugh de Tourneville, the Knight Companion to the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitallers.
Historical and geographical references abound:
the Dodecanese
the Aegean Sea
Local update: Sheila and Aileen, wife and daughter, have gone to a flower show in Southport; I am typing this, have just had Jehovah's Witnesses at the door and will shortly go to a gym after a gap.
Maybe back here later.
