'Revolution' by Ray Jenkins |
As Terry, Phil and Helen journey through the labyrinth, Belor intervenes and delays them in a time vortex; she then travels ahead of them, arriving during France’s infamously bloody Revolution. Materialising in a church carved out of a cave, Belor casts a spell on Rothgo’s past self, a French aristocrat, to ensure that he will not recognise the three children when he meets them; then, having disguised herself as a woman named Juliette, Belor uses her feminine wiles to trick Rothgo into believing her to be a friend. Belor introduces Rothgo to her fellow revolutionaries, a motley gang led by the zealous Citizen Pierre; however, Pierre feels jealous over Rothgo’s attentions to Juliette, and promptly accuses Rothgo of being a spy; luckily a demonstration of Rothgo’s magic quickly puts an end to Pierre’s threats. Elsewhere, the children finally arrive, only to find themselves trapped in a tunnel, and their confusion increases when they see witness Rothgo’s past self apparently enjoying a dance with Belor. Back in the church, a group of French soldiers arrive, led by the newly-elected Proconsul Julien. When Belor manages to trick Rothgo into thinking that Julien is her in disguise, Rothgo’s ranting results in his arrest as a traitor – and is immediately sentencing to death…
