It hurt him to bring danger upon the Woodvilles and he wished , too , to fulfill his mission . Others , beyond question , would reach the fleet with the message , but he wished to reach it also . Yet nothing new occurred during all the long day . Miss Woodville brought him more food at noon , but scarcely spoke . Then he returned to the hole in the cliff , and remained there until twilight . Young Woodville came , and he gathered from his manner that there had been no important movement of the armies , that all as yet was preparation . But he inferred that the storm was coming , and he told Victor that he meant to leave that night .
