At first Brunoro didn't know what
to do with his new wife. He couldn't
take her home to live in his fathers
castle. as he had intended, for his
father would not let him. Brunoro
himself at this time was an officer
in the army of the King Of Naples and
in order to have his beloved little
wife near him he disguised her as
another officer and the two rode off
to war. Soldiers, you know, in these
days, wore heavy coats of armor, and
great helmets, so that when Bona was
mounted on a horse riding at Bru-
noro's side no one dreamed that she
was not a real knight.
Bona was brave as could be in her
new life, but Brunoro did all he
could to shield and protect her One
day a great battle took place in which
Brunoro had command Of a company

to ride b~ck to his OVID camp with

News of this adventure soon spread
throughout the country. and Brunoro
could not longer disguise Bona as a
knight. But he no longer had need
to. for when Brunoro's father heard
of 10 his old heart was deeply touched.
He welcomed Brunoro and Bona into

Nobody answered him. Perhaps he
didn't expect any one to.

He was coming home: This, then,
was the surprise that his mother had
said she would bring him when she went
off with Towser in the morning to go
to Colonel Shepards. And now those
redcoats were going to sit there and
wait until he came, and then-Brinton
did not know what would happen,
whether he could be shot. or merely
put in prison for the rest of his life.
Oh, if he could only get out and run
to meet his father and warn him! But
the men seemed to give no signs of
leaving the room.
