a few minutes later, rupert crossed the drawbridge and it was pulled up. the light in duke michael's room went out, but a light came on, and stayed on,in antoinette's room. in the silent darkness, i waited.
for about ten minutes everything was quiet, but suddenly i heard a noise on my side of the bridge, then turned and begen to climb down some hidden steps in the wall. it was rupert of hentzau again-with a sword! silently, he went down into the water and swam across the moat.
