Sharon Kay Penman Quote
After that, he was still. They could hear church bells chiming in the distance. Somewhere Vespers was being rung, people were at Mass, life was going on. Andre had not thought there was a need for words of farewell, not between them. But now he found himself approaching the bed, suddenly afraid that he'd waited too long. Richard. He held his breath then, until the other man opened his eyes. Listen to me, he said hoarsely. You will not be forgotten. A hundred years from now, men will be sitting around campfires and telling the legends of the Lionheart.The corner of Richard's mouth twitched. Only ... a hundred years? he whispered, and Andre and Eleanor saw his last smile through a haze of hot tears.
