one o'clock
`` You saved my life , '' he said ; `` or at any rate you saved me from capture , and had I fallen into their hands methinks that I should have had to pay a far heavier ransom before they let me out again . '' Two days later there was heavy fighting again and much loss on both sides . It ceased as usual without any advantage being won by the besiegers . The fighting ended soon after mid-day , and at one o'clock the trumpet sounded a truce . Sir Hugh mounted , with his two knights , saying to Edgar : `` It were perhaps best that you should not ride with me . 'T is likely that the townsmen still think that you are in Beaulieu 's house , and were it known that you had escaped it might bring trouble upon him and the two knights who aided your escape from the wall . '' He took with him a pursuivant and trumpeter , and , riding through the English and Flemish men-at-arms , who were already engaged in carrying away the dead and wounded , he rode up to within a short distance of the wall , then the pursuivant and trumpeter advanced to the edge of the moat , and the latter blew a loud blast .
