Isabelle hid behind her dressing screen quickly changing into boys clothing. She tied up her long black hair and then stuffed it under a plumed hat.
Daniel found in her closet a cloak that would
also hide some of her finer feminine features when he realized what it was that she was trying to do.
"Just a couple of boys out for a ride, are we?" he grinned.
"Let's leave by the servants entrance," she said as she took some soot from her fire place and smudged her pretty face with it, and to further her disguise, she dirtied her clothes with a bit of the ash as well.
Isabelle followed Daniel out into the halls, down the back stairs and through the kitchens, finally arriving out into the moonlight. Here she drew in a deep breath, a breath that could only be discribed as freedom.
Daniel hurried ahead leading her to the stables where he had two horses saddled and ready for their adventure.
"Racing, good sir?" he asked teasing.
"No," she said resolutely, "just a bit of exploration."
They mounted the fine roans.
"Alright," said Daniel,"Which way would you like to go."
Isabelle winked, "Catch me if you can." With that she gave the horse a sound kick in the ribs and was off like a shot.
Daniel raced after her down the hill and through the forest.
When the horses tired they slowed their pace and came upon a road in the forest which seemed to lead to a cottage that was well lighted for this
hour.
