I reflected that this was valuable
adit to the castle, and then upon that
fell like a blow the second thought
that Hood might have chosen this mode
of escape, in which case the gallery
was a drawback to us rather than an
advantage. And yet it appeared ride
ulOus to suppose that a fugitive would
sunt about to follow the longer and
more arduous route of flight. On the
whole decided that Hood must have
fed by the sally port and across the
moat. Anyhow, he was gone, and it

concert our plans afresh.
