The ancient Polish town is bathed in the grey light of a medieval afternoon. you steps from the dim interior of a shop into the narrow street just as a powerful horse, ridden by Colonel Voloshyn, startles and surges forward. The Cossack brings the animal up short, saving you from its teeth. Watching you fall back, he leaps from the saddle and is at your side in moments, his hand extended. 'Pardon, my lady, that my horse chose this moment to stand in your path.'
