| 46190 | Page 18, moved punctuation inside quotes for"How is this?" |
| 46190 | Prythee, ask me not: dost thou not hear how I croak like a frog?" |

| 46190 | Who are you, man? |
| 46190 | Why should such a dreadful thing be done to them?" |
| 46190 | Will you join my service?" |
| 46190 | Will you join yourself to my men?" |
| 46190 | the young man said,"What is your will with me?" |
| 11097 | ''Fraid of going through this great dark forest? |
| 11097 | Ah, would yer? |
| 11097 | Ah, would you? |
| 11097 | And how am I to stop growing? |
| 11097 | And you could lead me and a strong body of fighting men right to the outlaws''camp? |
| 11097 | Anything else for me to do? |
| 11097 | Are they? |
| 11097 | Are you? |
| 11097 | But how am I to know when I''m six feet high? |
| 11097 | But suppose I did lose myself,said the boy;"what then?" |
| 11097 | But what are you doing here in the forest? |
| 11097 | But you did n''t hit it? |
| 11097 | But you did not come here into the forest in shirt and hose, did you, my little man? |
| 11097 | But you will not be angry with me if I am wrong, Master Sheriff? |
| 11097 | Can he? |
| 11097 | Could you find your way back to the outlaws''camp in the forest? |
| 11097 | Did I? |
| 11097 | Did n''t I tell yer I''d wait, and you was to bring me back a lot to eat? |
| 11097 | Did you look at the cap when you loosed the arrow? |
| 11097 | Did you now? 11097 Eh? |
| 11097 | Eh? 11097 Give you my clothes?" |
| 11097 | Go home to your father and mother, eh? |
| 11097 | Got yer, have I, at last? |
| 11097 | Have some of these? |
| 11097 | Hear that, captain? 11097 How did you know my name was Robin?" |
| 11097 | How, then? |
| 11097 | Hungry? |
| 11097 | I daresay we are the men he has talked about,said the outlaw smiling;"but who is your father, and what did he say?" |
| 11097 | I say, are n''t you afraid? |
| 11097 | I waited a bit, and then stepped out to him, and what do you think he did? 11097 Killed?" |
| 11097 | Now then, my little bowman,he said;"think I can hit the mark now?" |
| 11097 | Now wo n''t you give em to me? |
| 11097 | Oh, do n''t yer? 11097 Oh, that''s it, is it?" |
| 11097 | See this here stick? 11097 Shall I ever be as big as you?" |
| 11097 | So you think it''s too far? |
| 11097 | Thank you for bringing me here,he said;"but are you bold Robin Hood and Little John, of whom I''ve heard my father talk?" |
| 11097 | Then I shall take''em? |
| 11097 | They took you prisoner, and beat and robbed you? |
| 11097 | Think you can hit it? |
| 11097 | Turn my belt round? |
| 11097 | We shall see,said the outlaw;"but you are nearly starved, are n''t you?" |
| 11097 | Well, boy, why do n''t you speak? |
| 11097 | Well,said Little John, smiling down at his companion,"what are you thinking about?" |
| 11097 | Were you, now? |
| 11097 | What are you doing here? |
| 11097 | What are you knocking our tigs about for? |
| 11097 | What did he say? |
| 11097 | What for? |
| 11097 | What not one of the captain''s enemies who had come to kill him? |
| 11097 | What of, tumbling off? 11097 What woodland bird have you got here, John?" |
| 11097 | What''s yours? |
| 11097 | What, for being kind to me? |
| 11097 | What? 11097 What?" |
| 11097 | What? |
| 11097 | Where are you going, dear? |
| 11097 | Where did that arrow go? |
| 11097 | Where do you live? |
| 11097 | Where''s that? |
| 11097 | Where- about shall I hit the cap-- in the middle? |
| 11097 | Whereabouts shall I hit the cap?] |
| 11097 | Who dared do this? |
| 11097 | Who is the captain? |
| 11097 | Who was it? |
| 11097 | Who with? |
| 11097 | Why ca n''t you? |
| 11097 | Why did you let him? 11097 Why not?" |
| 11097 | Why not? |
| 11097 | Why, who would kill you? |
| 11097 | Why? |
| 11097 | Why? |
| 11097 | Will you please show me? |
| 11097 | Will you show me the way home, then? |
| 11097 | You have come from the outlaws''camp? |
| 11097 | You would, would n''t you? |
| 11097 | You''d like that? |
| 11097 | ''Are you going there soon?'' |
| 11097 | ''Do I know the Sheriff?'' |
| 11097 | ''Do you know where Nottingham is?'' |
| 11097 | At last the big boy said, in a low, growling way:"Now then, are you going to give me them things?" |
| 11097 | But you''ll make me some more, wo n''t you?" |
| 11097 | Can you bear to hear good news as well as bad?" |
| 11097 | Could you have hit it?" |
| 11097 | D''yer hear?" |
| 11097 | D''yer hear?" |
| 11097 | D''yer hear?" |
| 11097 | Did Maid Marian make you that green jerkin?" |
| 11097 | Do n''t want to ride on one of the mules, do you?" |
| 11097 | Do you find him changed?" |
| 11097 | Do you know my father?'' |
| 11097 | Eh, John? |
| 11097 | How am I to get you safe home to your father if you keep sidling off like that? |
| 11097 | How big was he-- big as this man?" |
| 11097 | I say, though, what''s become of all those arrows I made you?" |
| 11097 | It was startling, too, when from close at hand someone seemed to begin questioning him strangely by calling out:"Whoo- who- who- who?" |
| 11097 | Maid Marian''s very kind to you, is she not?" |
| 11097 | Now guess who it is for?" |
| 11097 | Robin,"she cried, flushing with pleasure;"who is this?" |
| 11097 | Shall I?" |
| 11097 | The bowed down gray- haired prisoner rose erect at this, and cried:"Is that Robin Hood who speaks?" |
| 11097 | WITH TWENTY- THREE ILLUSTRATIONS Sit still, will you? |
| 11097 | Want me to be leathered again?" |
| 11097 | Want me to hand you over to one of the men?" |
| 11097 | What do you say? |
| 11097 | What do you think of that?" |
| 11097 | What do you think?" |
| 11097 | What is it you are keeping back? |
| 11097 | What is there to be afraid of?" |
| 11097 | What now?" |
| 11097 | What was that? |
| 11097 | When are you going to show me?" |
| 11097 | Where can I get some breakfast?" |
| 11097 | Where can I get some?" |
| 11097 | Where do you come from?" |
| 11097 | Who does not know how hard it is to say good- bye? |
| 11097 | Why ca n''t you both be as tame as my fawn?" |
| 11097 | Why did n''t yer come back as I told you?" |
| 11097 | Why did n''t you fight for your clothes like a man?" |
| 11097 | Why did n''t you look for them after you shot?" |
| 11097 | Why do n''t you speak?" |
| 11097 | Why not? |
| 11097 | Why, are n''t you happy here in the merry greenwood under the trees? |
| 11097 | You have always been a good boy, have n''t you?" |
| 11097 | You would like something more to wear, would n''t you?" |
| 11097 | cried the big man,"who are you?" |
| 11097 | he said;"and so your name''s Robin, is it?" |
| 11097 | must you?" |
| 11097 | while he uttered aloud the one enquiring cry--"Quaik?" |
| 28700 | ''Tis I, Robin Hood; where are your three sons? |
| 28700 | ''Tis a pity that we could not tussle for the purse, eh? 28700 A murrain upon you, noisy rascal,"he called;"can you not be still?" |
| 28700 | Ah, Master Robin, have you eyes for the maids already? |
| 28700 | Ah, brother, what are you saying? |
| 28700 | Alas, mistress,said the servant,"the gates of Nottingham stand wide; did not my master order it so but this very morn?" |
| 28700 | Am I indeed your pretty love? |
| 28700 | Am I not Sheriff of Nottingham? |
| 28700 | And Allan? |
| 28700 | And Ford? |
| 28700 | And how will you settle such a knotty point, gossip? |
| 28700 | And hurry, friends, for surely it is the moment when our first new defiance of Master Monceux is to be made? 28700 And if I do rid you of him, will you swear to stand by me in another matter?" |
| 28700 | And so you have met bold Robin Hood? |
| 28700 | And so you will take your mother''s olden name and become Montfichet of Gamewell? |
| 28700 | And tell me, Robin, where is your Marian? 28700 And they have neither flayed you nor hanged you yet? |
| 28700 | And who are you who dares to question me? |
| 28700 | And who are you, forester, to ask me who I am? |
| 28700 | And who is your master? |
| 28700 | And why have you lost her, Allan- a- Dale? |
| 28700 | And why will I not earn the hundred pieces, gossip? |
| 28700 | And you are going to leave me, Robin? |
| 28700 | And you? |
| 28700 | Are the vapors passed? 28700 Are these your companions, Sir Knight, of whom you did tell me last night?" |
| 28700 | Are they not targets that I see yonder? |
| 28700 | Are we too late for the joustings, Will? |
| 28700 | Are you afraid, Warrenton? |
| 28700 | Are you dumb, friend? |
| 28700 | Are you glad to be leaving Locksley, my son? |
| 28700 | Are you going to the Sherwood tourney, and with a bow? |
| 28700 | Are you hurt, dear master? |
| 28700 | Are you satisfied, fellow? |
| 28700 | Are you sorry for Nottingham, Robin? |
| 28700 | Are you sure''twas Robin Hood? |
| 28700 | Are you sure, Warrenton, that you will perform this business right carefully? |
| 28700 | Are you talking of arrow- making, friend? |
| 28700 | Ay, honestly,said Robin,"and now, perhaps, you will grant me the privilege of knowing to whom I owe this scratch?" |
| 28700 | Ay; but the archery? |
| 28700 | Be of good heart; what is''nought''but nothing? 28700 Beside, would your excellence have us commit sacrilege?" |
| 28700 | Boy,interrupted old Gamewell, on a sudden resolution,"will you share Gamewell with me as Geoffrey''s brother, then? |
| 28700 | But tell me, friend, are you not that archer who so nearly won the Sheriff''s horse from me in Nottingham town? |
| 28700 | But we_ are_ to go, are we not, sir? |
| 28700 | But you? |
| 28700 | Call it not stupid, it hath brought you to me once more,whispered Will, taking her hands;"and so you do not love this man after all? |
| 28700 | Can I strike a bargain with you, gossip? |
| 28700 | Can you see aught now, Robin of the Woods? |
| 28700 | Canst tell me who wrote this little paper? 28700 Could there be a plainer case?" |
| 28700 | Dame,said he, gravely,"do you not think that here, in this cool shadow, we might well stay our travelling? |
| 28700 | Deceive him, father? |
| 28700 | Did I not treat you well last night, giving you a fair supper and much ale? 28700 Did I see you with Warrenton, Robin Fitzooth?" |
| 28700 | Did he indeed bite you, Master Nailor? |
| 28700 | Did he journey alone? 28700 Did not this fellow, this Robin, have other name? |
| 28700 | Did you indeed bring horse and arms down this ladder, Warrenton? |
| 28700 | Did you learn who these others might be? |
| 28700 | Did you not go out secretly to meet the Scarlet Knight, boy? 28700 Did your-- sister send you, Master Gilbert?" |
| 28700 | Didst leave London because of_ that_? |
| 28700 | Didst signal for us, lording? |
| 28700 | Do the miracles work happiness for you, Master Montfichet? |
| 28700 | Do they not say that Henry is away in a foreign land, father? |
| 28700 | Do we owe him toll? |
| 28700 | Do you come from Nottingham? |
| 28700 | Do you come from that village, friend? |
| 28700 | Do you go to Gamewell, friends? |
| 28700 | Do you know Robin Hood? |
| 28700 | Do you love this man? |
| 28700 | Do you think that you will hear truth, child? 28700 Do you think, friend, that I have any fear of your arrows? |
| 28700 | Do you think, friend,he enquired, in a troubled way,"that I should undertake the office?" |
| 28700 | Do you_ truly_ love me, Will? 28700 Does Master Gamewell play at archery here, Warrenton?" |
| 28700 | Does Master Montfichet keep well in health, kinsman? |
| 28700 | Does he return the wreath, and wherefore? |
| 28700 | Does she love you, Allan? |
| 28700 | Does your wound fret you, lording? |
| 28700 | Dressed about with red ribbons, I trow? |
| 28700 | Fitzwalter, the warden of the gates? 28700 For how could you know that your cousin was concerned in this? |
| 28700 | Ford, was it? |
| 28700 | Forester,said he, somewhat awkwardly,"can you tell me-- do you know aught of one Robin o''th''Hood? |
| 28700 | Friend wizard,said the youth, half at random,"have you ever played at archery in that greenwood which your glass showed us so prettily?" |
| 28700 | Give you good- den, my lord Bishop,piped she;"and what make_ you_ at so humble a door as this? |
| 28700 | God save you, dear friend, why did you not say''twas you? |
| 28700 | Had loved, Will? 28700 Has he been searched closely?" |
| 28700 | Has she no other name? |
| 28700 | Hast enough, fellow? |
| 28700 | Hath left Gamewell? |
| 28700 | Have you any assistants, friend? |
| 28700 | Have you anything fit for a cook? |
| 28700 | Have you bow and quiver here? |
| 28700 | Have you found Robin Hood? |
| 28700 | Have you killed four men, then, Warrenton? |
| 28700 | Have you no supper, brother? |
| 28700 | Have you not a tankard of ale to give me? |
| 28700 | Have you not any friends who would become a surety for you, Sir Knight? |
| 28700 | Have you spied out Will o''th''Green indeed? |
| 28700 | He calls you friar,said Robin, astounded;"are you not a knight, in sooth?" |
| 28700 | He is dying and shoots his last arrow-- is it not so? |
| 28700 | He lives, then? |
| 28700 | How can I sell meat in this garb? |
| 28700 | How can you sit here so idly, first losing your gold plate to him and then your gold? 28700 How dare you shoot the King''s beasts, stripling?" |
| 28700 | How did you purpose paying me for my beasts? |
| 28700 | How do you know that? |
| 28700 | How is one to know one''s betters, Sir Knight? |
| 28700 | How now, spitfire? 28700 How? |
| 28700 | I have been waiting here for you,answered she, briefly,"Robin, what do you think of it all?" |
| 28700 | I have made and tipped a full score of arrows, sir; will you see them? |
| 28700 | I like you, Will; you are the second Will that I have met and liked within two days; is there a sign in that? |
| 28700 | If I give you my horse, and a golden penny, will you let me go, butcher? |
| 28700 | In truth? |
| 28700 | Is he a fair bowman, this Hubert? |
| 28700 | Is he indeed_ dead_? |
| 28700 | Is it Geoffrey, indeed? |
| 28700 | Is it a bargain? |
| 28700 | Is it a pretty shaft, Warrenton? |
| 28700 | Is it toll of us that you desire? |
| 28700 | Is it you who have beaten the Prince''s best archer, Robin o''th''Hood? |
| 28700 | Is it you, indeed, Master Scarlett? |
| 28700 | Is that all? |
| 28700 | Is that her name? 28700 Is that so indeed?" |
| 28700 | Is that your trouble? |
| 28700 | Is there no toll? |
| 28700 | Is this Robin Earl of Huntingdon? |
| 28700 | Is this indeed so? 28700 Is this so?" |
| 28700 | Is this your bad hand, Robin? |
| 28700 | Is this your little esquire, young Stuteley? |
| 28700 | It is agreed then, Robin? |
| 28700 | It seemeth, then, that you also have stolen from our Sheriff at Nottingham, Master Scarlett? |
| 28700 | Lady,he asked,"do you love this man? |
| 28700 | Like as not, Master Geoffrey has not talked with you as to his business with us in this greenwood? |
| 28700 | Mayhap I might change them for a seat at your table on occasion, sir? |
| 28700 | Mayhap we may travel together? |
| 28700 | Mayhap you will give me a help whilst you wait, Sir Taciturn? 28700 My mother?" |
| 28700 | My sister-- who told you that I had a sister? |
| 28700 | Nay, by my inches, friend,replied he,"but how can we fight fairly with staves when you are so much the bigger?" |
| 28700 | No quarrel with Geoffrey, say you? |
| 28700 | No, surely; for what is a woman, missing or to hand, when there is red murder abroad? 28700 Now shall I twist his ears for him, Squire?" |
| 28700 | Now, comrades,cried he,"have you searched our prisoners and prepared them? |
| 28700 | Now, what mischief is in the air? |
| 28700 | Now, who, in the name of all the saints, cometh here? |
| 28700 | Of whom speak you? |
| 28700 | Perchance already his heart is moved again towards Geoffrey, and who shall be more glad than I to find this so? 28700 Prince John is near; and one can not imagine that Geoffrey of Montfichet----""Geoffrey of Montfichet?" |
| 28700 | Princess,_ you_? |
| 28700 | Saxon or Norman-- shall Robin become Montfichet? |
| 28700 | Say you so? 28700 Shall I not go and give myself up in their place? |
| 28700 | Shall we go in and make search? |
| 28700 | Shall we slay him with our pikes? |
| 28700 | Sister Nell, do you hear these marvels? 28700 So it''s the gipsy?" |
| 28700 | So old Warrenton has persuaded you to seek the Prince''s gold, youngling? |
| 28700 | So that is the rule of it, eh, Warrenton? |
| 28700 | So the barons would really make him King? |
| 28700 | So they winged you, youngling, and yet for all that you won the Sheriff''s arrow? 28700 So you have followed me, then; is that what I am to believe?" |
| 28700 | So you think that John may seize the throne? |
| 28700 | So''tis you, Geoffrey, daring death now for the sake of some country wench? 28700 So,''tis my kinsman, Robin, who has tried to startle me?" |
| 28700 | Some fat living, where there are no wicked to chastise, and where the work is easy and well endowed? |
| 28700 | Speak I soothly, men of the greenwood? |
| 28700 | Surely the priest is abroad imprudently, master? |
| 28700 | Surely there is a strange smell in these woods, Will? 28700 Surely, surely, you will go back with me to- morrow and demand the purse from the Sheriff?" |
| 28700 | Tell me, Midge,said Robin, presently, and looking round for him,"what did become of the palmer who was so wishing to be of service to our Stuteley? |
| 28700 | Tell me, friend, is this girl a little creature, royal looking and very beautiful? |
| 28700 | Tell me, is he called Roger de Burgh? |
| 28700 | Tell me, is she dark- haired, and are her eyes sweet as violets? |
| 28700 | Tell me, little Will, what evil mischance has fallen to you? |
| 28700 | Tell me,said the friar, leaning on the knight, after he had risen,"was that a bolt from the sky which just now did strike me down?" |
| 28700 | That is his name,answered the Princess, surprised;"do you know aught of him?" |
| 28700 | The interest, master? |
| 28700 | The knight should have a suit worthy of his rank, master, do you not think? |
| 28700 | Then surely he hath sent the Bishop to us, not being able to come himself? |
| 28700 | Then thou canst bend the bow? |
| 28700 | These be all of them King''s deer, father? |
| 28700 | This beggar-- where is he? |
| 28700 | To see how badly I treat my guest? 28700 Was Robin o''th''Hood_ that_ little bag of bones?" |
| 28700 | Was he not with you just now? 28700 We may meet again ere the day be done; but it is not sure----""You will not try for the purse, Will?" |
| 28700 | Well, Locksley, how now? |
| 28700 | Well, Monceux, what do they say? |
| 28700 | Well, Robin? |
| 28700 | What assistance can your prayers be to me? |
| 28700 | What can I find for you, brother? |
| 28700 | What do you in the greenwood at such an hour, good Master Gilbert? |
| 28700 | What do you say? |
| 28700 | What do_ you_ know, old Patch- and- Rags, of Robin Hood? |
| 28700 | What fortune do you bring us to- day, father? |
| 28700 | What have you in the sacks, beggar? |
| 28700 | What if I could show you the King''s dismissal of your father? |
| 28700 | What is it, dear patron? |
| 28700 | What is that sum, gossip? |
| 28700 | What is the meaning of this unseemliness? |
| 28700 | What is the tumult and rioting? |
| 28700 | What is your business, friend? |
| 28700 | What is your name, lording? |
| 28700 | What is your story of it? 28700 What makes you here so like a thief, gossip?" |
| 28700 | What may this be? |
| 28700 | What shall we do with him? |
| 28700 | What sprite are you? |
| 28700 | What then? |
| 28700 | What will you do? |
| 28700 | What will you shoot there, gipsy boy? 28700 What wind is it that blows our Squire''s friendship toward me, I wonder?" |
| 28700 | What would you do? |
| 28700 | What would you, Will? |
| 28700 | When is this prize to be offered, Warrenton, and what other marvels are there to be? |
| 28700 | When they were in chase of him? |
| 28700 | Where are you, child? 28700 Where did you learn this item?" |
| 28700 | Where is my maid? |
| 28700 | Where is our wizard friend? |
| 28700 | Where is that rascal beggar? |
| 28700 | Where is the friar? |
| 28700 | Where is this marriage to be held? |
| 28700 | Where is your dame? |
| 28700 | Where may they find so desirable a man? |
| 28700 | Wherefore, seeing that it will doubtless give him satisfaction and some knowledge( for who can witness wonders without being the wiser for them? 28700 Which of you is called Allan- a- Dale?" |
| 28700 | Who are these, Warrenton? |
| 28700 | Who are these, fellow, that make so free with the King''s deer? |
| 28700 | Who are you, Sir Churl, to talk of gallows and the like to us? 28700 Who are you?" |
| 28700 | Who gave you the right to question me? 28700 Who gives this maid in marriage?" |
| 28700 | Who is this cook? |
| 28700 | Who will shrive these poor fellows, then, if you have turned your back upon them? |
| 28700 | Who will you bring with you, gossip? 28700 Why all this haste?" |
| 28700 | Why do you not charge them, men? 28700 Why not? |
| 28700 | Why send into Lincoln and the shires when Middle the Tinker will do this business for you, gossips? 28700 Why should not I try to win them? |
| 28700 | Why will you not tarry for my money? 28700 Will Scarlett-- Master Geoffrey of Montfichet-- you?" |
| 28700 | Will he give the purse to me, then? |
| 28700 | Will the Sheriff appoint me, then? |
| 28700 | Will you deem me too impertinent, Sir Knight, if I ask what moneys you have? |
| 28700 | Will you grant me permission to be her champion and defy the world? |
| 28700 | Will you have the stars read to you, lording? |
| 28700 | Will you marry_ me_, dear heart? |
| 28700 | Will you not attempt my lord Sheriff''s prize, old Patch- and- Rags? |
| 28700 | Will you not ride with the dame and my son, father? |
| 28700 | Will you reply to those scrolls then, child? |
| 28700 | Will you try a turn with me, young master? |
| 28700 | Will,whispered Robin, opening his door as he spoke,"are you ready?" |
| 28700 | Would it not be better to snatch my money from me, and take your ease afterwards in that tavern which you wot of? |
| 28700 | Would you leave them to the empty prayers which the Sheriff''s chaplain will pour coldly over them? 28700 Yellow, Will,_ yellow_, forsooth? |
| 28700 | You gave it, my lord? |
| 28700 | You have a fair load there-- what is your price for it? |
| 28700 | You have not betrayed us, Little John? |
| 28700 | You have provided yourself now with a truer shaft, I ween? |
| 28700 | You know them-- you are of this company? |
| 28700 | Your names, gentles? |
| 28700 | Your son? |
| 28700 | ''What say you, stranger?'' |
| 28700 | ( the illustrator? |
| 28700 | A fire was there, why not use it? |
| 28700 | A golden fortune and a happy life?" |
| 28700 | After all, what fault had he committed against Montfichet? |
| 28700 | After all, what had he to fear? |
| 28700 | Ah, poor man, who would have then imagined so hard a fate for him?" |
| 28700 | And Locksley-- is not the Ranger there now dead, and his house burned? |
| 28700 | And are these fellows with you?" |
| 28700 | And did he not clink glasses with you in all amity?" |
| 28700 | And do you not now hide from Gamewell that his son is in hiding with Will o''th''Green? |
| 28700 | And glad to be leaving home too?" |
| 28700 | And prithee, Master Geoffrey, what have you done with my little cousin, Aimée of Aragon?" |
| 28700 | And so already it has come to this, Robin? |
| 28700 | And to what end? |
| 28700 | And was he now preparing their enemies? |
| 28700 | And where have you hidden yourself of late?" |
| 28700 | Are these your men, and this the father who gave his all for you?" |
| 28700 | Are these your men, forester?" |
| 28700 | Are they hanging a man, or skinning a beggar?" |
| 28700 | Are you color- blind, friend? |
| 28700 | Are you not Geoffrey of Gamewell?" |
| 28700 | At last, as one making a discovery:"Oh,''tis Master Fitzwalter you mean, lording? |
| 28700 | Ay: but surely in the winning of Broadweald there might chance smaller prizes, which properly he might yield for a smile from this fair maid? |
| 28700 | But Robin had seen them both slain on the day of that battle wherein poor Will of Cloudesley had perished? |
| 28700 | But since I am so big and not fearful of him I will e''en watch him through the night, unless you choose to do service, Mickleham?" |
| 28700 | But tell me who you are, clamoring so noisily with your questioning?" |
| 28700 | But where is your authority?" |
| 28700 | But who can deal with a snake in th''grass? |
| 28700 | But who is this fellow plucking at your sleeve? |
| 28700 | But why was there no safety for you in London? |
| 28700 | By what strange magic? |
| 28700 | Can you forgive me, Robin?" |
| 28700 | Can you get a priest to pray beside Midge''s bed?" |
| 28700 | Can you keep your own counsel? |
| 28700 | Can you not suggest a man to me?" |
| 28700 | Can you twiddle your bow again?" |
| 28700 | Could Marian have carried it here herself? |
| 28700 | Did I not deal gently with your venison, which after all is much more the King''s venison than yours? |
| 28700 | Did I not say this was his child?" |
| 28700 | Did I not say:''Fly at yon mark''? |
| 28700 | Did not Mistress Fitzwalter go with him? |
| 28700 | Did not you, in honest truth, lend the knight four hundred pieces, my lord?" |
| 28700 | Did you ever see the like? |
| 28700 | Did you see it yourself?" |
| 28700 | Do I see Master Hal, and my good friend Warrenton? |
| 28700 | Do they not owe life to you?" |
| 28700 | Do you come to bless me and give me alms?" |
| 28700 | Do you cut sticks for our fire o''mornings?" |
| 28700 | Do you know her name?" |
| 28700 | Do you know that I have not so much as a groat in my pouch?" |
| 28700 | Do you think I could hit yon beast, father? |
| 28700 | Do you want a tinker? |
| 28700 | Does it not seem to you that there is a taste of burning grasses in the breeze?" |
| 28700 | Does your father still guard the forest at Locksley? |
| 28700 | Doubtless you have passed the very spot?" |
| 28700 | Fennel, she is called, is''t not so? |
| 28700 | For what was left for me to learn? |
| 28700 | God save us; but who am I to be stubborn of will, in the face of these miracles?" |
| 28700 | Had Little John turned traitor? |
| 28700 | Had Marian been abducted by Monceux, and did the Squire fear to tell him? |
| 28700 | Had they not been riding with Carfax in the early morn-- not as prisoners- of- war-- but as informers and spies? |
| 28700 | Had_ you_ the knowledge of it so soon, Roger? |
| 28700 | Hard questions formed themselves in Robin''s mind-- how had Little John known him? |
| 28700 | Hast come from a hanging thyself? |
| 28700 | Have I won now the freedom of the forest?" |
| 28700 | Have you had enough?" |
| 28700 | Have you not amassed your wealth by less open but more cruel robbery than this? |
| 28700 | Have you not heard of young Montfichet''s doings? |
| 28700 | Have you not someone in this town who can be trusted?" |
| 28700 | Have you pikes with you, men, and full sheaths?" |
| 28700 | Have you seen the miracle- play, Sister Nell?" |
| 28700 | He came to the edge of her box, and began to speak._]"Is it indeed my young champion?" |
| 28700 | He has been hurt by some beast? |
| 28700 | He knew that the King was in England; for had he not but a few hours since, parted from him with a pardon in his hand and happiness in his heart? |
| 28700 | He makes a pretty mark, and my arrow would but prick him?" |
| 28700 | He redoubled his efforts; and presently she gave a little gasp:"Where am I, what is''t?" |
| 28700 | He reined in his grey horse, and asked over his shoulder:"Who are these, Jacquelaine?" |
| 28700 | Here are my hundred''pieces''; how like you them?" |
| 28700 | His heart told him to suspect some evil plot-- yet where could he find one? |
| 28700 | How had it come into the castle? |
| 28700 | I do adopt it from this day; for is not Robin Fitzooth of Locksley dead? |
| 28700 | I do forthwith range myself with the gipsy; and you, Midge,"he added, turning to one of his company,"surely you will follow?" |
| 28700 | If so great a man should bow to him, what ought Robin to do? |
| 28700 | If the Sheriff could stoop already to such foul business as this, to what further lengths would he not go? |
| 28700 | In what way?" |
| 28700 | Is it agreed?" |
| 28700 | Is it likely?" |
| 28700 | Is it not so, Stuteley?" |
| 28700 | Is it so? |
| 28700 | Is no crime too great for you?" |
| 28700 | Is that it? |
| 28700 | Is that too much to ask, lording?" |
| 28700 | Is the ground sanctuary?" |
| 28700 | Is this how you play an English game: to force your rivals to lose to you any way? |
| 28700 | Is this the stag that you killed, Robin o''th''Hood?" |
| 28700 | Is thy love so small, then, that it burns out like a candle, within an hour? |
| 28700 | Know you this writing?" |
| 28700 | Little John approached the stranger and bade him stay; for who can judge of a man''s wealth by his looks? |
| 28700 | May I pledge you, sir? |
| 28700 | Nay; but I''ll swear you do-- who else can mend and grind your swords and patch your pannikins? |
| 28700 | Not my lord of Hereford?" |
| 28700 | Or again, might not he battle for the two together? |
| 28700 | Or have you been bad steward to yourself and wasted your property in lawsuits and the like? |
| 28700 | Or mayhap you would sooner trip a measure?" |
| 28700 | Shall I not make a song to fit this happy day?" |
| 28700 | Shall I tot up the bill for him?" |
| 28700 | Shall we be comrades?" |
| 28700 | Shall we not accept Monceux''s word for it, comrades all?" |
| 28700 | Shall we try our skill at archery? |
| 28700 | Stranger still, why did not my lord of Hereford recognize Master John Little Nailor? |
| 28700 | Surely I should do something, sir, to win the right to wear your name? |
| 28700 | Surely it is near the hour of noon? |
| 28700 | Tell me now who has killed this deer, and by what right?" |
| 28700 | Tell me now, were you a yeoman and made a knight by force? |
| 28700 | Tell me now, why did you choose this name? |
| 28700 | Tell me where you have been, and why you did leave cousin Richard and France?" |
| 28700 | The Yellow One, was it? |
| 28700 | The archers obeyed him immediately,"Do you follow us, lording?" |
| 28700 | The grass is dry within the ring, sir-- do you think I should hurt my clothes?" |
| 28700 | The only question was, Which one? |
| 28700 | Then this boy is of the outlaws of Sherwood?" |
| 28700 | Then with sandalled feet----""Did she go forth from here upon the day of the rioting in Nottingham, when Stuteley and the others escaped?" |
| 28700 | There comes upon the road a palmer-- see you him near by the gates? |
| 28700 | There is a prize of twenty silver pennies to be handed to the winner of the next bout( did you say twenty or thirty pennies, lording?). |
| 28700 | To whom? |
| 28700 | Twenty crowns to twenty crowns-- who will hold the stakes? |
| 28700 | Was I not saying that my father lived near by here? |
| 28700 | Was ever such a fool? |
| 28700 | What are you doing on my ground?" |
| 28700 | What can I give to you to show you how we esteem a man just and faithful, even in adversity?" |
| 28700 | What could you do now? |
| 28700 | What did you see? |
| 28700 | What else is left to you? |
| 28700 | What have you to say in excuse of this wickedness?" |
| 28700 | What is there a- doing in Nottingham since the bells be ringing a- merrily? |
| 28700 | What laggard in love are you to be here without her?" |
| 28700 | What put so desperate a business into your mind, friend?" |
| 28700 | What say you, friends all?" |
| 28700 | What say you, old Warrenton?" |
| 28700 | What would he counsel? |
| 28700 | When did they go?" |
| 28700 | When he was close to the palmer, Midge said, amiably:"I pray you, old palmer, tell me if you know where and when these robbers are to die? |
| 28700 | When was it, and why do you call him the Scarlet Knight?" |
| 28700 | When will you bring her to me, Master Robin o''th''Hood, and pray what makes you wear so strange a name?" |
| 28700 | When you are Ranger at Locksley, in your father''s stead, who shall then say you nay?" |
| 28700 | Where is my plate? |
| 28700 | Which of you is Robin o''th''Hood? |
| 28700 | Who can say, where human nature is concerned?" |
| 28700 | Who could gainsay your right to it? |
| 28700 | Who does not know of your hard dealings with the poor and ignorant? |
| 28700 | Who had profited by the death of so unassuming a man as the late city warden? |
| 28700 | Who might this be? |
| 28700 | Who speaks a good word for you or loves you, for all you are a Bishop? |
| 28700 | Who will go forth and engage him in talk?" |
| 28700 | Why is this, sir? |
| 28700 | Will not the greenwoods seem dull to- morrow?" |
| 28700 | Will you forgive me now? |
| 28700 | Will you go with me, Gilbert, at once? |
| 28700 | Will you not come and choose your own beasts? |
| 28700 | Will you take me, little man, who can fight so well, and who knows how to play a bold game?" |
| 28700 | Will you take my hand?" |
| 28700 | Would the knight''s wife take charge of them, and find them some apparel as would ease one of them at least from most uneasy feelings? |
| 28700 | Yet how could he act upon this knowledge in the midst of the enemy''s camp? |
| 28700 | You can not deny that you_ did_ take them from him in the June of last year?" |
| 28700 | You have but just ridden through Nottingham, I take it, Master Montfichet, and have some of its news?" |
| 28700 | Young Fitzooth turned to Warrenton:"Can you tell me who these may be who sit alone in yon little box?" |
| 28700 | _ You_ to rule over Gamewell? |
| 28700 | asked Marian, in foolish happiness;"are you sure that you would not have some other maid-- to wit, the demoiselle Marie? |
| 28700 | asked Robin, as he paid over the gold,"and are you not afraid to ride through Sherwood alone?" |
| 28700 | asked she, round- eyed:"King of all these lands and forests?" |
| 28700 | enquired Robin, smiling again,"Am I truly free of Sherwood, Will?" |
| 28700 | he asked, presently,"the one that I did wound? |
| 28700 | he cried, with a gesture of horror,"and the two others?" |
| 28700 | would you try to steal my bags?" |
| 28700 | you gave?" |
| 10148 | ''And what said he, my daughter? 10148 ''Honest fellow,''sayst thou, clown?" |
| 10148 | ''So is there here one Christian knight Of such a noble strain That he will give a tortured wight Sweet ease of mortal pain?'' 10148 ''What sailed in the boat, my daughter? |
| 10148 | ''What sawest thou there, my daughter? 10148 ''Why growest thou so cold, my daughter? |
| 10148 | ''Wilt thou, Sir Kay, thou scornful wight?'' 10148 ''_ Wilt thou, Gawaine?'' |
| 10148 | All in a low and breathless voice,''Whence comest thou?'' 10148 Am I thy slave, to fetch and carry for thee?" |
| 10148 | And a man- eating bishop? |
| 10148 | And a money- gorging usurer? |
| 10148 | And didst thou, Little John,said Robin in a sad voice,"call his lordship a fat priest?" |
| 10148 | And dost thou in sooth catch them by dropping salt on their pretty tails? |
| 10148 | And dost thou know of a certain spot called Fountain Abbey? |
| 10148 | And hast thou come to feast with me this day? |
| 10148 | And hast thou e''er heard the song of the Deserted Shepherdess? |
| 10148 | And hast thou nought to drink but cold water? |
| 10148 | And is it thou that hast brought such doleful news? |
| 10148 | And is this all thou wilt do for me? |
| 10148 | And thou dost own that I am the better man of the two? |
| 10148 | And what doth all this mean? |
| 10148 | And what name callest thou him? |
| 10148 | And whence comest thou, my lusty blade? |
| 10148 | And where art thou now, my good lad? |
| 10148 | And wherefore should I stand where I am? 10148 And who art thou dost so boldly check a fair song?" |
| 10148 | And who art thou, good friend? |
| 10148 | Art thou a fool, to trust to beggar''s rags to shield thee from Robin Hood? 10148 Art thou indeed Robin Hood?" |
| 10148 | Art thou mad,quoth he,"to talk in this way, so loud and in such a place? |
| 10148 | Art thou not ashamed to bring disgrace so upon our cloth? 10148 Art thou the devil in blue, to shoot in that wise?" |
| 10148 | Ay, that am I,quoth the jolly Butcher,"and why should I not be so? |
| 10148 | But art thou sure,said the little doctor tremulously,"that this knight will do us no harm? |
| 10148 | But did not he pay thee? |
| 10148 | But hast thou no friend that will help thee in thy dire need? |
| 10148 | But shall I not send thy horse to stable? |
| 10148 | But tell me, good Quince,said Robin,"hast thou a mind to sell those things to me? |
| 10148 | But thou gentle, merry spirit,quoth Robin,"dost thou not think that mayhap this same Robin Hood may be the better man of the two? |
| 10148 | But what is thy name, good youth? |
| 10148 | But what manner of man is he, lad? 10148 But what money is this that ye speak of?" |
| 10148 | But what wouldst thou say,quoth Queen Eleanor,"if I were to find three archers to match the best three yeomen of all thy guard?" |
| 10148 | But where is thy son now? |
| 10148 | But who art thou that comest from Locksley Town? |
| 10148 | But why should I not? |
| 10148 | But wilt thou not give me another twelvemonth to pay my debt? |
| 10148 | But, Master Will, how cometh it that thou dost now abide in Sherwood? |
| 10148 | Come, brother,quoth one who was the head of them all,"we be all of one trade, so wilt thou go dine with us? |
| 10148 | Did not the holy Saint Christopher ever carry the stranger across the river? 10148 Didst thou not hear me pledge my word to the Queen? |
| 10148 | Disgrace, sayest thou? 10148 Doss thou bid me, the high cellarer of Fountain Abbey, to get down from my horse and kneel in the dirty road to pray to some beggarly Saxon saint?" |
| 10148 | Doss thou know the country hereabouts, thou good and holy man? |
| 10148 | Doss thou prate so to me, sirrah? |
| 10148 | Dost thou think,said the Friar mildly,"that the good Saint Christopher would ha''sought his own ease so? |
| 10148 | Good master,cried Will,"how is this? |
| 10148 | Ha''ye in truth no money about you whatsoever? |
| 10148 | Ha''ye, in holy truth, no money? |
| 10148 | Ha,said Robin,"comest thou from Locksley Town? |
| 10148 | Halloa, friend,cried Robin, coming forward at last,"who art thou that sittest there? |
| 10148 | Halloa, good friend,quoth Robin, from beneath the hedge, when the other had gotten nigh enough,"whither away so merrily this bright day?" |
| 10148 | Hast thou come today to take another feast with me? |
| 10148 | Hast thou had enough? |
| 10148 | Have ye nothing? |
| 10148 | Hearest thou our master? |
| 10148 | Hilloa, good fellow,quoth he in a jovial voice,"who art thou that struttest in such gay feathers?" |
| 10148 | Hilloa,quoth he,"what art thou doing here, thou naughty fellow? |
| 10148 | How could one hide so much as two hundred pounds upon his person? |
| 10148 | How darest thou step between me and these fellows? 10148 How is this, Sir Richard?" |
| 10148 | How much money will it take, good Arthur, to buy us meat and drink? |
| 10148 | How now, fellow,quoth the King,"who art thou, thou naughty rogue? |
| 10148 | How now, good master,cried Little John,"what need hast thou that thou dost wind thy horn so loudly?" |
| 10148 | How now,quoth Robin,"dost thou not like our new silver service? |
| 10148 | How now,quoth he,"is thine ear still too deaf to hear me speak?" |
| 10148 | How now,said the King hastily,"art thou ill, Sheriff, that thou growest so white?" |
| 10148 | How old art thou, Allan? |
| 10148 | How sayst thou? |
| 10148 | How? 10148 How?" |
| 10148 | Hut, tut,quoth merry Robin,"what proud words are these? |
| 10148 | I say again, ay-- out upon it-- who dares say that any more harm shall come upon thee? 10148 Is it even so?" |
| 10148 | Is it indeed so? |
| 10148 | Is it so? 10148 Is it so?" |
| 10148 | Is it so? |
| 10148 | Is it so? |
| 10148 | Is it so? |
| 10148 | Is it sooth? |
| 10148 | Is this true? |
| 10148 | It is now time, I ween, to christen our bonny babe, is it not so, merry boys? |
| 10148 | Look, is not this Robin Hood''s sword, and is not this his good bow of yew, and is not this his bugle horn? 10148 Meanest thou this in sooth?" |
| 10148 | Men do call me Arthur a Bland,spoke up the Tanner boldly,"and now what may be thy name?" |
| 10148 | My Lord Bishop, hast thou the key of this box? |
| 10148 | Nay,cried the host, throwing up his elbow, for he feared the blow,"how knew I that thou knewest him not?" |
| 10148 | Nay,quoth jolly Robin,"what I would say first is the most serious of all thoughts to me, to wit,''Where shall I get somewhat to eat and drink?''" |
| 10148 | No priest? 10148 Now tell me, young David, what dost thou see by this?" |
| 10148 | Now what news bearest thou so fast? |
| 10148 | Now what wouldst thou have? |
| 10148 | Now, how should I, that ne''er have squealed in your sty, know all the swine therein? 10148 Now, my Lord Bishop,"said he,"dost thou not think this is ill done of anyone, much more of a churchman, who should live in humbleness and charity?" |
| 10148 | Now, who bringeth this babe? |
| 10148 | Now,quoth Little John,"is there never a man here that will lend me a good stout staff till I try the mettle of yon fellow?" |
| 10148 | Now,quoth the Sheriff to a man- at- arms who stood near him,"seest thou Robin Hood among those ten?" |
| 10148 | Peace, Tuck,said he,"didst thou not promise me, ere thou camest here, that thou wouldst put a check upon thy tongue?" |
| 10148 | Please Your Worship,said he,"will you give me leave to string my bow? |
| 10148 | Sayst thou so? |
| 10148 | Sayst thou so? |
| 10148 | Sir Knight,said he,"I would not trouble thee with idle questions; but dost thou find it in thy heart to tell me thy sorrows?" |
| 10148 | So, Master Reynold Greenleaf, thou art anhungered, art thou? |
| 10148 | So,quoth he, in a great, loud, angry voice,"ye have been poaching upon the King''s deer, have you? |
| 10148 | Think ye that your beggarly feast was worth three pounds, let alone three hundred? |
| 10148 | Thinkest thou so? |
| 10148 | Thou wilt play madman, wilt thou? |
| 10148 | Thou wouldst murder me, wouldst thou? 10148 What art thou, friend, who dost stop a traveler in this manner upon his most gracious Majesty''s highway?" |
| 10148 | What do these priests want of silk velvet? |
| 10148 | What have ye, brothers? |
| 10148 | What is thy name, fellow? |
| 10148 | What is thy name, good fellow? |
| 10148 | What is thy need, master? |
| 10148 | What is toward yonder at Denby today? |
| 10148 | What knave meaneth Your Worship? |
| 10148 | What luck hath befallen thee in the forest? 10148 What may be thy name, good fellow?" |
| 10148 | What mean ye, varlets, that ye push upon us so? 10148 What name goest thou by, good fellow?" |
| 10148 | What news bearest thou, Sir Page? |
| 10148 | What wouldst thou have me do, Bishop? |
| 10148 | What wouldst thou have me do? 10148 What wouldst thou have of me?" |
| 10148 | What wouldst thou have, good master? |
| 10148 | What wouldst thou have? |
| 10148 | Whence came this? |
| 10148 | Whence comest thou, and whither art thou going? |
| 10148 | Whence comest thou, lad? |
| 10148 | Where is thy prior? |
| 10148 | Wherefore should I hold, good fellow? |
| 10148 | Who art thou that knowest Sir Richard of the Lea so well? |
| 10148 | Who art thou that talkest so? |
| 10148 | Who art thou, fellow, that doth dare to stop me thus upon the King''s highway? |
| 10148 | Who art thou, fellow, that liest there killing all the green grass with salt water? |
| 10148 | Who art thou, good brother? |
| 10148 | Who art thou, mad priest? |
| 10148 | Who art thou, rascal? |
| 10148 | Who bids me stay? |
| 10148 | Who hath the score of the goods? |
| 10148 | Who is yon stranger clad all in scarlet? |
| 10148 | Why dost thou not play, fellow? |
| 10148 | Why should we speak of this little matter? 10148 Why, Tuck, dost thou not know of my ill happening with my father''s steward?" |
| 10148 | Why, how now, Reynold Greenleaf,cried the Sheriff,"art thou dreaming or art thou mad, that thou dost bring me such, a tale?" |
| 10148 | Why, how now, Reynold Greenleaf? |
| 10148 | Why, how now, master,quoth Little John,"what heat is this? |
| 10148 | Why, how now,quoth he,"is this the guest that thou hast brought us to fill our purse? |
| 10148 | Why, how now,quoth he,"is thy proud stomach quailing? |
| 10148 | Why, how now,quoth he,"what change is here? |
| 10148 | Why, truly, thou didst not ask me, good master,quoth stout Tuck;"but what didst thou desire of me?" |
| 10148 | Why,answered Robin,"dost thou not see that I have brought goodly company to feast with us today? |
| 10148 | Will I join thy band? |
| 10148 | Wilt thou back me in this manner? |
| 10148 | Wilt thou have my hide or my money, sweet chuck? |
| 10148 | Wilt thou not be my friend, Sir Sheriff? |
| 10148 | Wilt thou not ease him of some of his debts, Sir Prior? |
| 10148 | Would ye crowd so on my pleasure, ye unmannerly knaves? 10148 Wouldst thou come here to our fair town of Denby, thou Jack in the Box, to overcome a good honest lad with vile, juggling tricks?" |
| 10148 | Wouldst thou dig thine elbows into me, sirrah? 10148 Wouldst thou strike a man when he is down?" |
| 10148 | Yea, truly, saw ye not birdlime upon his hands? |
| 10148 | Yea,said Little John,"but what told the friar of the harvest home in Kentshire? |
| 10148 | Your Worship,cried he,"is not yon fellow coming along toward us that same Guy of Gisbourne whom thou didst send into the forest to seek Robin Hood?" |
| 10148 | ''Sir Geraint?'' |
| 10148 | Am I a jest with thy master, as thou callest him? |
| 10148 | Am I not by? |
| 10148 | Am I not hale in wind and limb? |
| 10148 | And art thou indeed Little John, and Robin Hood''s own right- hand man? |
| 10148 | And dost thou in sooth find them in these hedges, good fellow? |
| 10148 | And dost thou not mind how I taught thee to fend and parry with the cudgel?" |
| 10148 | And gin he be sly, am not I slyer? |
| 10148 | And have I found where thy money lies? |
| 10148 | And how darest thou offer thy knightly Castle of the Lea for a refuge to them? |
| 10148 | And how hast thou fared all these long days?" |
| 10148 | And it''s wilt thou, love, he mine? |
| 10148 | And lastly, am I not to be married to her on Thursday next in sweet Locksley Town?" |
| 10148 | And should I, poor sinner that I am, be ashamed to do likewise? |
| 10148 | And what does our good Queen Eleanor wish of him? |
| 10148 | And what is that that thou hast upon thy body? |
| 10148 | Answer me this: Hast thou ever fibbed a chouse quarrons in the Rome pad for the loure in his bung? |
| 10148 | Are not my laws in force in Nottinghamshire? |
| 10148 | Are there not other places for Robin Hood''s hiding? |
| 10148 | Are they not fat and fair to see?" |
| 10148 | Are ye mad? |
| 10148 | Art not thou the great Robin Hood?" |
| 10148 | Art thou deaf, man? |
| 10148 | Art thou not my Sheriff? |
| 10148 | Art thou out of thy wits, man? |
| 10148 | Art thou the King of England, to talk so to me? |
| 10148 | Art thou wizard to turn those wolves into lambs? |
| 10148 | As for me, I have the greatest villain in all England in my grasp; shall I, then, open my hand and let him slip betwixt my fingers? |
| 10148 | At this Robin laughed again, and, turning to the Tanner, he said,"Wilt thou join my band, good Arthur? |
| 10148 | Broad are thy shoulders and thick thy head; is not thy lass fair enough for thee to take cudgel in hand for her sake? |
| 10148 | But an I may be so bold, thou pretty fellow, what dost thou there beneath the hedge?" |
| 10148 | But as thou hast so taken up of a sudden with sports of this kind, hast thou a mind for a wager?" |
| 10148 | But hast thou truly nought but a dry crust about thee? |
| 10148 | But hatest thou not to see a vile upstart like this Reynold Greenleaf taking it upon him so bravely?" |
| 10148 | But how wilt thou cause me to meet Robin Hood?" |
| 10148 | But if thou knowest him, my jolly blade, wilt thou go with me and bring me to him? |
| 10148 | But shall we let it be said that the Sheriff of Nottingham did cow bold Robin Hood and sevenscore as fair archers as are in all merry England? |
| 10148 | But tell me truly, what hast thou in thy pouches?" |
| 10148 | But tell me, how camest thou to leave Sir Edward and thy mother?" |
| 10148 | But tell me, now, thou witty man, what hast thou gotten there in that pouch by thy side and in that pottle?" |
| 10148 | But tell me, what is owing to Emmet for thine estates?" |
| 10148 | But what doleful ditty is this for the lips of a stout yeoman? |
| 10148 | But what sayeth our good gossip Swanthold? |
| 10148 | But what sayst thou, Little John, to a merry adventure this fair day? |
| 10148 | But what was the Sheriff''s plan? |
| 10148 | But what will befall thee if thou dost lose thy lands, Sir Richard?" |
| 10148 | But who could that saucy knave be who answered me to my beard so bravely? |
| 10148 | But who is this that goeth into Sherwood after Robin Hood, and why doth he go to seek him? |
| 10148 | But why didst thou not tell me thou wert he I sought, instead of sending me searching for black moonbeams?" |
| 10148 | But wilt thou not put back thy cowl? |
| 10148 | But, Your Worship, are these naughty fellows shrived?" |
| 10148 | Canst thou not give us something?" |
| 10148 | Canst thou not take thine own course against those that break the laws or do any injury to thee or thine? |
| 10148 | Canst thou not tell me somewhat of them, Sir Sheriff? |
| 10148 | Couldst thou not tell me beneath this wild beast''s hide? |
| 10148 | Did he not strike the clout thrice? |
| 10148 | Didst thou ever see a beggar so? |
| 10148 | Do we not both live without touching palm to honest work? |
| 10148 | Do we not both take from the poor people that which they can ill spare? |
| 10148 | Do we not make our livings by doing nought of any good? |
| 10148 | Do you not see our good and worshipful master, the Sheriff of Nottingham? |
| 10148 | Dost thou ask me, the holy Tuck, to carry thee? |
| 10148 | Dost thou not come from the Dale of Rotherstream, over beyond Stavely?" |
| 10148 | Dost thou not know me, lad? |
| 10148 | Dost thou not know that he is seeking thee through all the land?" |
| 10148 | Dost thou not remember what that great black- bearded fellow told of his begging at the fair in York?" |
| 10148 | Dost thou not remember, lad, how I showed thee the proper way to nip the goose feather betwixt thy fingers and throw out thy bow arm steadily? |
| 10148 | Each stood still for a time, and then Robin spoke:"Halloa, my sweet bird,"said he, laughing merrily,"how likest thou thine ale? |
| 10148 | For what sayeth that merry song thou singest, Little John? |
| 10148 | For what sayeth the old saw, Master Greenleaf? |
| 10148 | Friar Tuck, thou hast a quick ear for a tune, dost thou not remember it?" |
| 10148 | Has not this same holy Saint Dunstan taught thee a goodly song or two?" |
| 10148 | Hast thou a mind to earn sixpence this bright morn?" |
| 10148 | Hast thou fed upon vinegar and nettles this morning that thy speech is so stinging?" |
| 10148 | Hast thou haply any Malmsey left in that stout pottle?" |
| 10148 | Hast thou no regard for such holy men as we are?" |
| 10148 | Hath he not a firm foot in the ring, thinkest thou, Sir Richard?" |
| 10148 | Hath he not a mill over beyond Nottingham Town, nigh to the Salisbury road?" |
| 10148 | Have I not often told thee what Gaffer Swanthold sayeth, that''overcaution spilleth the milk''?" |
| 10148 | Have I not the bonniest lass in all Nottinghamshire? |
| 10148 | Have we either of us ever rubbed thumbs over honestly gained farthings? |
| 10148 | Have ye ever heard of the wooing of Sir Keith, the stout young Cornish knight, in good King Arthur''s time?" |
| 10148 | Having gotten his breath from his last draught, the Friar began talking again in this wise:"Now, sweet lad, canst thou not sing me a song? |
| 10148 | Hear ye that, bully boys?" |
| 10148 | How dost thou like them? |
| 10148 | How like you the plan, my merry men all?" |
| 10148 | How now, lads? |
| 10148 | I doubt not thou canst sing a ballad most blithely; canst thou not?" |
| 10148 | I find this outlaw in my grasp; shall I, then, foolishly cling to a promise so hastily given? |
| 10148 | I have oft heard that ye are wondrous archers; wilt thou not show us somewhat of your skill?" |
| 10148 | I know thee, Guy of Gisbourne, for who is there that hath not heard of thee and cursed thee for thy vile deeds of blood and rapine? |
| 10148 | Is it by such a hand as thine that the gentlest heart that ever beat is stilled in death? |
| 10148 | Is it indeed so?" |
| 10148 | Is it not so, Little John?" |
| 10148 | Is it not so, my lads?" |
| 10148 | Is it not so, my merry men all?" |
| 10148 | Is it not so, my merry men all?" |
| 10148 | Is it not thus? |
| 10148 | Is it not well that such men should be brought low?" |
| 10148 | Is it not''A hasty man burneth his mouth, and the fool that keepeth his eyes shut falleth into the pit''? |
| 10148 | Is it not''The late fowl findeth but ill faring''?" |
| 10148 | It is not so, brother?" |
| 10148 | Knowest thou not that thou and thy name are jests upon the lips of every brave yeoman? |
| 10148 | La, I know not, I am but in an ill voice this day; prythee ask me not; dost thou not hear how I croak like a frog? |
| 10148 | Look upon me, have I the likeness of a sorrowful man?" |
| 10148 | Marry, come up, say I-- what a plague-- does an old weazen think that tender lasses are to be bought like pullets o''a market day? |
| 10148 | Methinks thy shoulders are stout and broad; couldst thou not find it in thy heart to carry me across?" |
| 10148 | Moreover, I understand it not; what meanest thou by the words?" |
| 10148 | Nay then, wilt thou not take a drink of good Malmsey? |
| 10148 | Nevertheless--""Then,"quoth the King, breaking in on the Sheriffs speech,"what have I to fear in meeting him, having done him no harm? |
| 10148 | Now hark ye, good youth, wilt thou stay with me and be one of my band? |
| 10148 | Now how much dost thou want for thy horned cattle?" |
| 10148 | Now wilt thou leave thy dusty mill and come and join my band? |
| 10148 | Now wilt thou yield thee, or shall I have to break thy pretty head?" |
| 10148 | Now, thou great lout, wilt thou not twirl staff for Nottingham?" |
| 10148 | Now, where goest thou with thy meat, my fair friend?" |
| 10148 | Now, who will be next served?" |
| 10148 | Now, who will be on my side in this matter?" |
| 10148 | Oh, where hast thou been this day Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 10148 | Prythee, tell me, are there many of them? |
| 10148 | Prythee, tell me, sweet chuck, why wearest thou that dainty garb upon thy pretty body?" |
| 10148 | Quoth Arthur, King,''of me_?'' |
| 10148 | Quoth Robin Hood to Little John,"Why didst thou not go straight to Ancaster, yesterday, as I told thee? |
| 10148 | Quoth Robin,"Now, thou art the richest bishop in all England; canst thou not help this needy brother?" |
| 10148 | Quoth Sir Richard,"Thou man of law, wilt thou not befriend me in mine hour of need?" |
| 10148 | Quoth he,"Whither away, fair maids?" |
| 10148 | Quoth the Sheriff of Nottingham,"But art thou sure, Sir Prior, that thou hast the lands so safe?" |
| 10148 | Say, good fellow, wilt thou join my merry men all? |
| 10148 | Say, good fellow, wilt thou join my service?" |
| 10148 | Seest thou these clogs upon my feet?" |
| 10148 | Should I, then, desert him in his hour of need?" |
| 10148 | Sir Richard looked upon him keenly, then, turning to one of the judges, he said,"Knowest thou who this youth is? |
| 10148 | So straightway I came to Nottingham Town and found my sweet Sheriff; and what thinkest thou he wanted of me? |
| 10148 | So they talked among themselves merrily, until after a while quoth Little John,"Who rideth those two nags yonder?" |
| 10148 | So, presently, he said aloud,"O holy father, wilt thou not take a good pot of March beer to slake thy thirsty soul withal?" |
| 10148 | Tell me, hast thou any clothes hereabouts that I may put on in place of these of Lincoln green? |
| 10148 | Then Allan touched his harp lightly, and all words were hushed while he sang thus:"''_ Oh, where has thou been, my daughter? |
| 10148 | Then Robin turned to the Bishop of Hereford and said,"Was this the man who spake so boldly to Your Lordship?" |
| 10148 | Then all laughed, and one of the fair ladies cried out,"What three meanest thou, merry friend?" |
| 10148 | Then dost thou not think that thou couldst take the lass''s part if I take the lad''s? |
| 10148 | Then one of them, with his mouth full, called out to Robin,"Hulloa, where goest thou, little lad, with thy one- penny bow and thy farthing shafts?" |
| 10148 | Then quoth Robin,"How cometh it that I saw young David of Doncaster with thee and thy men, Sir Knight?" |
| 10148 | Then the Queen spoke again,"Now, who will back me in this wager? |
| 10148 | Then the constable said again,"Whither goest thou, holy friar, upon this hot summer''s day?" |
| 10148 | Then the constable said, for the third time,"Now tell me, holy father, do pilgrims to Canterbury wear good Lincoln green beneath their robes? |
| 10148 | Then the first word that the Prior said to him was"Hast thou brought my money?" |
| 10148 | Then up spake Edward of Deirwold in a deep voice of anger,"Is it thou, Allan a Dale, that hath bred all this coil in a church?" |
| 10148 | Then up spoke Robin,"Now tell us, young David of Doncaster, what dost thou see?" |
| 10148 | Then, turning to the stranger, he said,"What may be thy name, good fellow?" |
| 10148 | Then, when he had finished, he clattered the steel and cleaver still more loudly, shouting lustily,"Now, who''ll buy? |
| 10148 | Thinkest thou he would have given them to Guy of Gisbourne of his own free will?" |
| 10148 | Thinkest thou that the laws of the King of England are to be so evaded by one poor knave without friends or money?" |
| 10148 | This same Robin Hood, of whom, I wot, I never heard before, is a right merry blade, but gin he be strong, am not I stronger? |
| 10148 | Thou, Sir Knight, so old, and she so young, and thou thinkest to make her thy wife? |
| 10148 | Thus saying, he turned to the King,"I prythee, brother, wilt thou take my punishing into thy holy hands?" |
| 10148 | Upright- man, Jurkman, Clapper- dudgeon, Dommerer, or Abraham- man?" |
| 10148 | We have paid well for our fare, so canst thou not show us some merry entertainment? |
| 10148 | What art thou, brother? |
| 10148 | What have we here? |
| 10148 | What is it Your Worship would have me do?" |
| 10148 | What is it? |
| 10148 | What may be thy name, and whence comest thou?" |
| 10148 | What may be thy name, good fellow?" |
| 10148 | What may be thy name, lad?" |
| 10148 | What may be thy name?" |
| 10148 | What may thy name be, father?" |
| 10148 | What meaneth all this stir i''th''pot, dear good gentlemen? |
| 10148 | What means it that I see young Master William Gamwell in such company?" |
| 10148 | What means this?" |
| 10148 | What noble dame would kiss a knight That kissed so foul a mouth_?'' |
| 10148 | What said he to thee this day, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 10148 | What sailed in the boat this day, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 10148 | What sawest thou there this day, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 10148 | What say ye, lads?" |
| 10148 | What say ye, lads?" |
| 10148 | What say ye, lads?" |
| 10148 | What sayest thou, jolly Cook?" |
| 10148 | What sayst thou to our seeking adventures, each one upon his own account?" |
| 10148 | What sayst thou, bully boy?" |
| 10148 | What sayst thou, jolly Cook, wilt thou go with me to Sherwood Forest and join with Robin Hood''s band? |
| 10148 | What wilt thou pay this knight, Sir Prior, to give thee release of his land?" |
| 10148 | What wilt thou wager upon thy men?" |
| 10148 | What wouldst thou have me do? |
| 10148 | When Sir Richard ended a silence fell, until at last Robin said,"And dost thou pledge me thy knightly word that this is all thou hast with thee?" |
| 10148 | Whence camest thou, fair friend?" |
| 10148 | Where goest thou, friend?" |
| 10148 | Who are these strangers that thou hast with thee?" |
| 10148 | Who art thou that comest ranging Sherwood''s paths? |
| 10148 | Who art thou that talkest so freely of cracking the head of Arthur a Bland? |
| 10148 | Who art thou, that thou shouldst deny me to eat? |
| 10148 | Who calls it a vale of tears? |
| 10148 | Who could hold anger against such a one as thou art?" |
| 10148 | Who said I would not go? |
| 10148 | Who was he, then, an thou knowest him so well?" |
| 10148 | Who''ll buy? |
| 10148 | Why growest thou so cold and white, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 10148 | Will you come with me, sweet Reader? |
| 10148 | Wilt not sing to me another song?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou be one of my good merry men?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou close a bargain with me and take six marks for thine outfit?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou come with me?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou do thy best for my sake?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou join my service, good fellow? |
| 10148 | Wilt thou make it a hiding place for the most renowned outlaws in England?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou not stay with us here in the sweet green forest? |
| 10148 | Wilt thou try thy hand?" |
| 10148 | Wilt thou, my Lord Bishop of Hereford?" |
| 10148 | burst forth the Friar in a mighty rage,"dost thou, thou poor puny stripling, thou kiss- my- lady- la poppenjay; thou-- thou What shall I call thee? |
| 10148 | cried Robin,"how likest thou that shot, good fellow? |
| 10148 | cried Robin,"is it even so? |
| 10148 | cried he"who will drink ale with a stout yeoman? |
| 10148 | cried he, twirling his staff betwixt his fingers,"would you four stout fellows set upon one man? |
| 10148 | cried he, when they had come still nearer,"can I trust mine eyes? |
| 10148 | cried he,"whither hath that knave gone that was with me but now?" |
| 10148 | cried she,"dost thou dare to come into the very jaws of the raging lion? |
| 10148 | cried the Miller,"what would ye do to me? |
| 10148 | cried the Sheriff in a rage,"is it even so? |
| 10148 | cried the Sheriff,"whence comest thou and where hast thou been?" |
| 10148 | cried the Tanner,"art thou indeed the great Robin Hood, and is this the famous Little John? |
| 10148 | cried the stout Friar,"what means this? |
| 10148 | is it so?" |
| 10148 | quoth Little John in a great loud voice,"wouldst thou give me backtalk? |
| 10148 | quoth Little John,"have your prayers so little virtue? |
| 10148 | quoth Robin Hood, laughing,"saw ye e''er such a pretty, mincing fellow?" |
| 10148 | quoth Robin,"art thou the man that I have been at such pains to seek all day, and have got such a ducking for?" |
| 10148 | quoth he-- for the Cook was a tall, stout man--"seest thou what that vile knave Reynold Greenleaf hath done? |
| 10148 | quoth one,"and whither ridest thou today?" |
| 10148 | roared the leader of the band in a great big voice of joy,"have we then caught thee at last, thou blue- clad knave? |
| 10148 | said Little John, as soon as he could gather his wits from their wonder,"sawest thou that, Arthur? |
| 10148 | said she;''Art thou the creature of a dream, Or a vision that I see?'' |
| 10148 | said the Miller, throwing the great sack of meal from his shoulder to the ground,"and who are those with thee?" |
| 10148 | then cried the brother grim,''Why dost thou gaze so after him?'' |
| 10148 | thou wouldst have my money, wouldst thou?" |
| 964 | ''And what said he, my daughter? 964 ''Honest fellow,''sayst thou, clown?" |
| 964 | ''So is there here one Christian knight Of such a noble strain That he will give a tortured wight Sweet ease of mortal pain?'' 964 ''What sailed in the boat, my daughter? |
| 964 | ''What sawest thou there, my daughter? 964 ''Why growest thou so cold, my daughter? |
| 964 | ''Wilt thou, Sir Kay, thou scornful wight?'' 964 ''_ Wilt thou, Gawaine?'' |
| 964 | All in a low and breathless voice,''Whence comest thou?'' 964 Am I thy slave, to fetch and carry for thee?" |
| 964 | And a man- eating bishop? |
| 964 | And a money- gorging usurer? |
| 964 | And didst thou, Little John,said Robin in a sad voice,"call his lordship a fat priest?" |
| 964 | And dost thou in sooth catch them by dropping salt on their pretty tails? |
| 964 | And dost thou know of a certain spot called Fountain Abbey? |
| 964 | And hast thou come to feast with me this day? |
| 964 | And hast thou e''er heard the song of the Deserted Shepherdess? |
| 964 | And hast thou nought to drink but cold water? |
| 964 | And is it thou that hast brought such doleful news? |
| 964 | And is this all thou wilt do for me? |
| 964 | And thou dost own that I am the better man of the two? |
| 964 | And what doth all this mean? |
| 964 | And what name callest thou him? |
| 964 | And whence comest thou, my lusty blade? |
| 964 | And where art thou now, my good lad? |
| 964 | And wherefore should I stand where I am? 964 And who art thou dost so boldly check a fair song?" |
| 964 | And who art thou, good friend? |
| 964 | Art thou a fool, to trust to beggar''s rags to shield thee from Robin Hood? 964 Art thou indeed Robin Hood?" |
| 964 | Art thou mad,quoth he,"to talk in this way, so loud and in such a place? |
| 964 | Art thou not ashamed to bring disgrace so upon our cloth? 964 Art thou the devil in blue, to shoot in that wise?" |
| 964 | Ay, that am I,quoth the jolly Butcher,"and why should I not be so? |
| 964 | But art thou sure,said the little doctor tremulously,"that this knight will do us no harm? |
| 964 | But did not he pay thee? |
| 964 | But hast thou no friend that will help thee in thy dire need? |
| 964 | But shall I not send thy horse to stable? |
| 964 | But tell me, good Quince,said Robin,"hast thou a mind to sell those things to me? |
| 964 | But thou gentle, merry spirit,quoth Robin,"dost thou not think that mayhap this same Robin Hood may be the better man of the two? |
| 964 | But what is thy name, good youth? |
| 964 | But what manner of man is he, lad? 964 But what money is this that ye speak of?" |
| 964 | But what wouldst thou say,quoth Queen Eleanor,"if I were to find three archers to match the best three yeomen of all thy guard?" |
| 964 | But where is thy son now? |
| 964 | But who art thou that comest from Locksley Town? |
| 964 | But why should I not? |
| 964 | But wilt thou not give me another twelvemonth to pay my debt? |
| 964 | But, Master Will, how cometh it that thou dost now abide in Sherwood? |
| 964 | Come, brother,quoth one who was the head of them all,"we be all of one trade, so wilt thou go dine with us? |
| 964 | Did not the holy Saint Christopher ever carry the stranger across the river? 964 Didst thou not hear me pledge my word to the Queen? |
| 964 | Disgrace, sayest thou? 964 Doss thou bid me, the high cellarer of Fountain Abbey, to get down from my horse and kneel in the dirty road to pray to some beggarly Saxon saint?" |
| 964 | Doss thou know the country hereabouts, thou good and holy man? |
| 964 | Doss thou prate so to me, sirrah? |
| 964 | Dost thou think,said the Friar mildly,"that the good Saint Christopher would ha''sought his own ease so? |
| 964 | Good master,cried Will,"how is this? |
| 964 | Ha''ye in truth no money about you whatsoever? |
| 964 | Ha''ye, in holy truth, no money? |
| 964 | Ha,said Robin,"comest thou from Locksley Town? |
| 964 | Halloa, friend,cried Robin, coming forward at last,"who art thou that sittest there? |
| 964 | Halloa, good friend,quoth Robin, from beneath the hedge, when the other had gotten nigh enough,"whither away so merrily this bright day?" |
| 964 | Hast thou come today to take another feast with me? |
| 964 | Hast thou had enough? |
| 964 | Have ye nothing? |
| 964 | Hearest thou our master? |
| 964 | Hilloa, good fellow,quoth he in a jovial voice,"who art thou that struttest in such gay feathers?" |
| 964 | Hilloa,quoth he,"what art thou doing here, thou naughty fellow? |
| 964 | How could one hide so much as two hundred pounds upon his person? |
| 964 | How darest thou step between me and these fellows? 964 How is this, Sir Richard?" |
| 964 | How much money will it take, good Arthur, to buy us meat and drink? |
| 964 | How now, fellow,quoth the King,"who art thou, thou naughty rogue? |
| 964 | How now, good master,cried Little John,"what need hast thou that thou dost wind thy horn so loudly?" |
| 964 | How now,quoth Robin,"dost thou not like our new silver service? |
| 964 | How now,quoth he,"is thine ear still too deaf to hear me speak?" |
| 964 | How now,said the King hastily,"art thou ill, Sheriff, that thou growest so white?" |
| 964 | How old art thou, Allan? |
| 964 | How sayst thou? |
| 964 | How? 964 How?" |
| 964 | Hut, tut,quoth merry Robin,"what proud words are these? |
| 964 | I say again, ay-- out upon it-- who dares say that any more harm shall come upon thee? 964 Is it even so?" |
| 964 | Is it indeed so? |
| 964 | Is it so? 964 Is it so?" |
| 964 | Is it so? |
| 964 | Is it so? |
| 964 | Is it so? |
| 964 | Is it sooth? |
| 964 | Is this true? |
| 964 | It is now time, I ween, to christen our bonny babe, is it not so, merry boys? |
| 964 | Look, is not this Robin Hood''s sword, and is not this his good bow of yew, and is not this his bugle horn? 964 Meanest thou this in sooth?" |
| 964 | Men do call me Arthur a Bland,spoke up the Tanner boldly,"and now what may be thy name?" |
| 964 | My Lord Bishop, hast thou the key of this box? |
| 964 | Nay,cried the host, throwing up his elbow, for he feared the blow,"how knew I that thou knewest him not?" |
| 964 | Nay,quoth jolly Robin,"what I would say first is the most serious of all thoughts to me, to wit,''Where shall I get somewhat to eat and drink?''" |
| 964 | No priest? 964 Now tell me, young David, what dost thou see by this?" |
| 964 | Now what news bearest thou so fast? |
| 964 | Now what wouldst thou have? |
| 964 | Now, how should I, that ne''er have squealed in your sty, know all the swine therein? 964 Now, my Lord Bishop,"said he,"dost thou not think this is ill done of anyone, much more of a churchman, who should live in humbleness and charity?" |
| 964 | Now, who bringeth this babe? |
| 964 | Now,quoth Little John,"is there never a man here that will lend me a good stout staff till I try the mettle of yon fellow?" |
| 964 | Now,quoth the Sheriff to a man- at- arms who stood near him,"seest thou Robin Hood among those ten?" |
| 964 | Peace, Tuck,said he,"didst thou not promise me, ere thou camest here, that thou wouldst put a check upon thy tongue?" |
| 964 | Please Your Worship,said he,"will you give me leave to string my bow? |
| 964 | Sayst thou so? |
| 964 | Sayst thou so? |
| 964 | Sir Knight,said he,"I would not trouble thee with idle questions; but dost thou find it in thy heart to tell me thy sorrows?" |
| 964 | So, Master Reynold Greenleaf, thou art anhungered, art thou? |
| 964 | So,quoth he, in a great, loud, angry voice,"ye have been poaching upon the King''s deer, have you? |
| 964 | Think ye that your beggarly feast was worth three pounds, let alone three hundred? |
| 964 | Thinkest thou so? |
| 964 | Thou wilt play madman, wilt thou? |
| 964 | Thou wouldst murder me, wouldst thou? 964 What art thou, friend, who dost stop a traveler in this manner upon his most gracious Majesty''s highway?" |
| 964 | What do these priests want of silk velvet? |
| 964 | What have ye, brothers? |
| 964 | What is thy name, fellow? |
| 964 | What is thy name, good fellow? |
| 964 | What is thy need, master? |
| 964 | What is toward yonder at Denby today? |
| 964 | What knave meaneth Your Worship? |
| 964 | What luck hath befallen thee in the forest? 964 What may be thy name, good fellow?" |
| 964 | What mean ye, varlets, that ye push upon us so? 964 What name goest thou by, good fellow?" |
| 964 | What news bearest thou, Sir Page? |
| 964 | What wouldst thou have me do, Bishop? |
| 964 | What wouldst thou have me do? 964 What wouldst thou have of me?" |
| 964 | What wouldst thou have, good master? |
| 964 | What wouldst thou have? |
| 964 | Whence came this? |
| 964 | Whence comest thou, and whither art thou going? |
| 964 | Whence comest thou, lad? |
| 964 | Where is thy prior? |
| 964 | Wherefore should I hold, good fellow? |
| 964 | Who art thou that knowest Sir Richard of the Lea so well? |
| 964 | Who art thou that talkest so? |
| 964 | Who art thou, fellow, that doth dare to stop me thus upon the King''s highway? |
| 964 | Who art thou, fellow, that liest there killing all the green grass with salt water? |
| 964 | Who art thou, good brother? |
| 964 | Who art thou, mad priest? |
| 964 | Who art thou, rascal? |
| 964 | Who bids me stay? |
| 964 | Who hath the score of the goods? |
| 964 | Who is yon stranger clad all in scarlet? |
| 964 | Why dost thou not play, fellow? |
| 964 | Why should we speak of this little matter? 964 Why, Tuck, dost thou not know of my ill happening with my father''s steward?" |
| 964 | Why, how now, Reynold Greenleaf,cried the Sheriff,"art thou dreaming or art thou mad, that thou dost bring me such, a tale?" |
| 964 | Why, how now, Reynold Greenleaf? |
| 964 | Why, how now, master,quoth Little John,"what heat is this? |
| 964 | Why, how now,quoth he,"is this the guest that thou hast brought us to fill our purse? |
| 964 | Why, how now,quoth he,"is thy proud stomach quailing? |
| 964 | Why, how now,quoth he,"what change is here? |
| 964 | Why, truly, thou didst not ask me, good master,quoth stout Tuck;"but what didst thou desire of me?" |
| 964 | Why,answered Robin,"dost thou not see that I have brought goodly company to feast with us today? |
| 964 | Will I join thy band? |
| 964 | Wilt thou back me in this manner? |
| 964 | Wilt thou have my hide or my money, sweet chuck? |
| 964 | Wilt thou not be my friend, Sir Sheriff? |
| 964 | Wilt thou not ease him of some of his debts, Sir Prior? |
| 964 | Would ye crowd so on my pleasure, ye unmannerly knaves? 964 Wouldst thou come here to our fair town of Denby, thou Jack in the Box, to overcome a good honest lad with vile, juggling tricks?" |
| 964 | Wouldst thou dig thine elbows into me, sirrah? 964 Wouldst thou strike a man when he is down?" |
| 964 | Yea, truly, saw ye not birdlime upon his hands? |
| 964 | Yea,said Little John,"but what told the friar of the harvest home in Kentshire? |
| 964 | Your Worship,cried he,"is not yon fellow coming along toward us that same Guy of Gisbourne whom thou didst send into the forest to seek Robin Hood?" |
| 964 | ''Sir Geraint?'' |
| 964 | Am I a jest with thy master, as thou callest him? |
| 964 | Am I not by? |
| 964 | Am I not hale in wind and limb? |
| 964 | And art thou indeed Little John, and Robin Hood''s own right- hand man? |
| 964 | And dost thou in sooth find them in these hedges, good fellow? |
| 964 | And dost thou not mind how I taught thee to fend and parry with the cudgel?" |
| 964 | And gin he be sly, am not I slyer? |
| 964 | And have I found where thy money lies? |
| 964 | And how darest thou offer thy knightly Castle of the Lea for a refuge to them? |
| 964 | And how hast thou fared all these long days?" |
| 964 | And it''s wilt thou, love, be mine? |
| 964 | And lastly, am I not to be married to her on Thursday next in sweet Locksley Town?" |
| 964 | And should I, poor sinner that I am, be ashamed to do likewise? |
| 964 | And what does our good Queen Eleanor wish of him? |
| 964 | And what is that that thou hast upon thy body? |
| 964 | Answer me this: Hast thou ever fibbed a chouse quarrons in the Rome pad for the loure in his bung? |
| 964 | Are not my laws in force in Nottinghamshire? |
| 964 | Are there not other places for Robin Hood''s hiding? |
| 964 | Are they not fat and fair to see?" |
| 964 | Are ye mad? |
| 964 | Art not thou the great Robin Hood?" |
| 964 | Art thou deaf, man? |
| 964 | Art thou not my Sheriff? |
| 964 | Art thou out of thy wits, man? |
| 964 | Art thou the King of England, to talk so to me? |
| 964 | Art thou wizard to turn those wolves into lambs? |
| 964 | As for me, I have the greatest villain in all England in my grasp; shall I, then, open my hand and let him slip betwixt my fingers? |
| 964 | At this Robin laughed again, and, turning to the Tanner, he said,"Wilt thou join my band, good Arthur? |
| 964 | Broad are thy shoulders and thick thy head; is not thy lass fair enough for thee to take cudgel in hand for her sake? |
| 964 | But an I may be so bold, thou pretty fellow, what dost thou there beneath the hedge?" |
| 964 | But as thou hast so taken up of a sudden with sports of this kind, hast thou a mind for a wager?" |
| 964 | But hast thou truly nought but a dry crust about thee? |
| 964 | But hatest thou not to see a vile upstart like this Reynold Greenleaf taking it upon him so bravely?" |
| 964 | But how wilt thou cause me to meet Robin Hood?" |
| 964 | But if thou knowest him, my jolly blade, wilt thou go with me and bring me to him? |
| 964 | But shall we let it be said that the Sheriff of Nottingham did cow bold Robin Hood and sevenscore as fair archers as are in all merry England? |
| 964 | But tell me truly, what hast thou in thy pouches?" |
| 964 | But tell me, how camest thou to leave Sir Edward and thy mother?" |
| 964 | But tell me, now, thou witty man, what hast thou gotten there in that pouch by thy side and in that pottle?" |
| 964 | But tell me, what is owing to Emmet for thine estates?" |
| 964 | But what doleful ditty is this for the lips of a stout yeoman? |
| 964 | But what sayeth our good gossip Swanthold? |
| 964 | But what sayst thou, Little John, to a merry adventure this fair day? |
| 964 | But what was the Sheriff''s plan? |
| 964 | But what will befall thee if thou dost lose thy lands, Sir Richard?" |
| 964 | But who could that saucy knave be who answered me to my beard so bravely? |
| 964 | But who is this that goeth into Sherwood after Robin Hood, and why doth he go to seek him? |
| 964 | But why didst thou not tell me thou wert he I sought, instead of sending me searching for black moonbeams?" |
| 964 | But wilt thou not put back thy cowl? |
| 964 | But, Your Worship, are these naughty fellows shrived?" |
| 964 | Canst thou not give us something?" |
| 964 | Canst thou not take thine own course against those that break the laws or do any injury to thee or thine? |
| 964 | Canst thou not tell me somewhat of them, Sir Sheriff? |
| 964 | Couldst thou not tell me beneath this wild beast''s hide? |
| 964 | Did he not strike the clout thrice? |
| 964 | Didst thou ever see a beggar so? |
| 964 | Do we not both live without touching palm to honest work? |
| 964 | Do we not both take from the poor people that which they can ill spare? |
| 964 | Do we not make our livings by doing nought of any good? |
| 964 | Do you not see our good and worshipful master, the Sheriff of Nottingham? |
| 964 | Dost thou ask me, the holy Tuck, to carry thee? |
| 964 | Dost thou not come from the Dale of Rotherstream, over beyond Stavely?" |
| 964 | Dost thou not know me, lad? |
| 964 | Dost thou not know that he is seeking thee through all the land?" |
| 964 | Dost thou not remember what that great black- bearded fellow told of his begging at the fair in York?" |
| 964 | Dost thou not remember, lad, how I showed thee the proper way to nip the goose feather betwixt thy fingers and throw out thy bow arm steadily? |
| 964 | Each stood still for a time, and then Robin spoke:"Halloa, my sweet bird,"said he, laughing merrily,"how likest thou thine ale? |
| 964 | For what sayeth that merry song thou singest, Little John? |
| 964 | For what sayeth the old saw, Master Greenleaf? |
| 964 | Friar Tuck, thou hast a quick ear for a tune, dost thou not remember it?" |
| 964 | Has not this same holy Saint Dunstan taught thee a goodly song or two?" |
| 964 | Hast thou a mind to earn sixpence this bright morn?" |
| 964 | Hast thou fed upon vinegar and nettles this morning that thy speech is so stinging?" |
| 964 | Hast thou haply any Malmsey left in that stout pottle?" |
| 964 | Hast thou no regard for such holy men as we are?" |
| 964 | Hath he not a firm foot in the ring, thinkest thou, Sir Richard?" |
| 964 | Hath he not a mill over beyond Nottingham Town, nigh to the Salisbury road?" |
| 964 | Have I not often told thee what Gaffer Swanthold sayeth, that''overcaution spilleth the milk''?" |
| 964 | Have I not the bonniest lass in all Nottinghamshire? |
| 964 | Have we either of us ever rubbed thumbs over honestly gained farthings? |
| 964 | Have ye ever heard of the wooing of Sir Keith, the stout young Cornish knight, in good King Arthur''s time?" |
| 964 | Having gotten his breath from his last draught, the Friar began talking again in this wise:"Now, sweet lad, canst thou not sing me a song? |
| 964 | Hear ye that, bully boys?" |
| 964 | How dost thou like them? |
| 964 | How like you the plan, my merry men all?" |
| 964 | How now, lads? |
| 964 | I doubt not thou canst sing a ballad most blithely; canst thou not?" |
| 964 | I find this outlaw in my grasp; shall I, then, foolishly cling to a promise so hastily given? |
| 964 | I have oft heard that ye are wondrous archers; wilt thou not show us somewhat of your skill?" |
| 964 | I know thee, Guy of Gisbourne, for who is there that hath not heard of thee and cursed thee for thy vile deeds of blood and rapine? |
| 964 | Is it by such a hand as thine that the gentlest heart that ever beat is stilled in death? |
| 964 | Is it indeed so?" |
| 964 | Is it not so, Little John?" |
| 964 | Is it not so, my lads?" |
| 964 | Is it not so, my merry men all?" |
| 964 | Is it not so, my merry men all?" |
| 964 | Is it not thus? |
| 964 | Is it not well that such men should be brought low?" |
| 964 | Is it not''A hasty man burneth his mouth, and the fool that keepeth his eyes shut falleth into the pit''? |
| 964 | Is it not''The late fowl findeth but ill faring''?" |
| 964 | It is not so, brother?" |
| 964 | Knowest thou not that thou and thy name are jests upon the lips of every brave yeoman? |
| 964 | La, I know not, I am but in an ill voice this day; prythee ask me not; dost thou not hear how I croak like a frog? |
| 964 | Look upon me, have I the likeness of a sorrowful man?" |
| 964 | Marry, come up, say I-- what a plague-- does an old weazen think that tender lasses are to be bought like pullets o''a market day? |
| 964 | Methinks thy shoulders are stout and broad; couldst thou not find it in thy heart to carry me across?" |
| 964 | Moreover, I understand it not; what meanest thou by the words?" |
| 964 | Nay then, wilt thou not take a drink of good Malmsey? |
| 964 | Nevertheless--""Then,"quoth the King, breaking in on the Sheriffs speech,"what have I to fear in meeting him, having done him no harm? |
| 964 | Now hark ye, good youth, wilt thou stay with me and be one of my band? |
| 964 | Now how much dost thou want for thy horned cattle?" |
| 964 | Now wilt thou leave thy dusty mill and come and join my band? |
| 964 | Now wilt thou yield thee, or shall I have to break thy pretty head?" |
| 964 | Now, thou great lout, wilt thou not twirl staff for Nottingham?" |
| 964 | Now, where goest thou with thy meat, my fair friend?" |
| 964 | Now, who will be next served?" |
| 964 | Now, who will be on my side in this matter?" |
| 964 | Oh, where hast thou been this day Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 964 | Prythee, tell me, are there many of them? |
| 964 | Prythee, tell me, sweet chuck, why wearest thou that dainty garb upon thy pretty body?" |
| 964 | Quoth Arthur, King,''of me_?'' |
| 964 | Quoth Robin Hood to Little John,"Why didst thou not go straight to Ancaster, yesterday, as I told thee? |
| 964 | Quoth Robin,"Now, thou art the richest bishop in all England; canst thou not help this needy brother?" |
| 964 | Quoth Sir Richard,"Thou man of law, wilt thou not befriend me in mine hour of need?" |
| 964 | Quoth he,"Whither away, fair maids?" |
| 964 | Quoth the Sheriff of Nottingham,"But art thou sure, Sir Prior, that thou hast the lands so safe?" |
| 964 | Say, good fellow, wilt thou join my merry men all? |
| 964 | Say, good fellow, wilt thou join my service?" |
| 964 | Seest thou these clogs upon my feet?" |
| 964 | Should I, then, desert him in his hour of need?" |
| 964 | Sir Richard looked upon him keenly, then, turning to one of the judges, he said,"Knowest thou who this youth is? |
| 964 | So straightway I came to Nottingham Town and found my sweet Sheriff; and what thinkest thou he wanted of me? |
| 964 | So they talked among themselves merrily, until after a while quoth Little John,"Who rideth those two nags yonder?" |
| 964 | So, presently, he said aloud,"O holy father, wilt thou not take a good pot of March beer to slake thy thirsty soul withal?" |
| 964 | Tell me, hast thou any clothes hereabouts that I may put on in place of these of Lincoln green? |
| 964 | Then Allan touched his harp lightly, and all words were hushed while he sang thus:"''_ Oh, where has thou been, my daughter? |
| 964 | Then Robin turned to the Bishop of Hereford and said,"Was this the man who spake so boldly to Your Lordship?" |
| 964 | Then all laughed, and one of the fair ladies cried out,"What three meanest thou, merry friend?" |
| 964 | Then dost thou not think that thou couldst take the lass''s part if I take the lad''s? |
| 964 | Then one of them, with his mouth full, called out to Robin,"Hulloa, where goest thou, little lad, with thy one- penny bow and thy farthing shafts?" |
| 964 | Then quoth Robin,"How cometh it that I saw young David of Doncaster with thee and thy men, Sir Knight?" |
| 964 | Then the Queen spoke again,"Now, who will back me in this wager? |
| 964 | Then the constable said again,"Whither goest thou, holy friar, upon this hot summer''s day?" |
| 964 | Then the constable said, for the third time,"Now tell me, holy father, do pilgrims to Canterbury wear good Lincoln green beneath their robes? |
| 964 | Then the first word that the Prior said to him was"Hast thou brought my money?" |
| 964 | Then up spake Edward of Deirwold in a deep voice of anger,"Is it thou, Allan a Dale, that hath bred all this coil in a church?" |
| 964 | Then up spoke Robin,"Now tell us, young David of Doncaster, what dost thou see?" |
| 964 | Then, turning to the stranger, he said,"What may be thy name, good fellow?" |
| 964 | Then, when he had finished, he clattered the steel and cleaver still more loudly, shouting lustily,"Now, who''ll buy? |
| 964 | Thinkest thou he would have given them to Guy of Gisbourne of his own free will?" |
| 964 | Thinkest thou that the laws of the King of England are to be so evaded by one poor knave without friends or money?" |
| 964 | This same Robin Hood, of whom, I wot, I never heard before, is a right merry blade, but gin he be strong, am not I stronger? |
| 964 | Thou, Sir Knight, so old, and she so young, and thou thinkest to make her thy wife? |
| 964 | Thus saying, he turned to the King,"I prythee, brother, wilt thou take my punishing into thy holy hands?" |
| 964 | Upright- man, Jurkman, Clapper- dudgeon, Dommerer, or Abraham- man?" |
| 964 | We have paid well for our fare, so canst thou not show us some merry entertainment? |
| 964 | What art thou, brother? |
| 964 | What have we here? |
| 964 | What is it Your Worship would have me do?" |
| 964 | What is it? |
| 964 | What may be thy name, and whence comest thou?" |
| 964 | What may be thy name, good fellow?" |
| 964 | What may be thy name, lad?" |
| 964 | What may be thy name?" |
| 964 | What may thy name be, father?" |
| 964 | What meaneth all this stir i''th''pot, dear good gentlemen? |
| 964 | What means it that I see young Master William Gamwell in such company?" |
| 964 | What means this?" |
| 964 | What noble dame would kiss a knight That kissed so foul a mouth_?'' |
| 964 | What said he to thee this day, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 964 | What sailed in the boat this day, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 964 | What sawest thou there this day, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 964 | What say ye, lads?" |
| 964 | What say ye, lads?" |
| 964 | What say ye, lads?" |
| 964 | What sayest thou, jolly Cook?" |
| 964 | What sayst thou to our seeking adventures, each one upon his own account?" |
| 964 | What sayst thou, bully boy?" |
| 964 | What sayst thou, jolly Cook, wilt thou go with me to Sherwood Forest and join with Robin Hood''s band? |
| 964 | What wilt thou pay this knight, Sir Prior, to give thee release of his land?" |
| 964 | What wilt thou wager upon thy men?" |
| 964 | What wouldst thou have me do? |
| 964 | When Sir Richard ended a silence fell, until at last Robin said,"And dost thou pledge me thy knightly word that this is all thou hast with thee?" |
| 964 | Whence camest thou, fair friend?" |
| 964 | Where goest thou, friend?" |
| 964 | Who are these strangers that thou hast with thee?" |
| 964 | Who art thou that comest ranging Sherwood''s paths? |
| 964 | Who art thou that talkest so freely of cracking the head of Arthur a Bland? |
| 964 | Who art thou, that thou shouldst deny me to eat? |
| 964 | Who calls it a vale of tears? |
| 964 | Who could hold anger against such a one as thou art?" |
| 964 | Who said I would not go? |
| 964 | Who was he, then, an thou knowest him so well?" |
| 964 | Who''ll buy? |
| 964 | Why growest thou so cold and white, Daughter, my daughter?'' |
| 964 | Will you come with me, sweet Reader? |
| 964 | Wilt not sing to me another song?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou be one of my good merry men?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou close a bargain with me and take six marks for thine outfit?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou come with me?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou do thy best for my sake?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou join my service, good fellow? |
| 964 | Wilt thou make it a hiding place for the most renowned outlaws in England?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou not stay with us here in the sweet green forest? |
| 964 | Wilt thou try thy hand?" |
| 964 | Wilt thou, my Lord Bishop of Hereford?" |
| 964 | burst forth the Friar in a mighty rage,"dost thou, thou poor puny stripling, thou kiss- my- lady- la poppenjay; thou-- thou What shall I call thee? |
| 964 | cried Robin,"how likest thou that shot, good fellow? |
| 964 | cried Robin,"is it even so? |
| 964 | cried he"who will drink ale with a stout yeoman? |
| 964 | cried he, twirling his staff betwixt his fingers,"would you four stout fellows set upon one man? |
| 964 | cried he, when they had come still nearer,"can I trust mine eyes? |
| 964 | cried he,"whither hath that knave gone that was with me but now?" |
| 964 | cried she,"dost thou dare to come into the very jaws of the raging lion? |
| 964 | cried the Miller,"what would ye do to me? |
| 964 | cried the Sheriff in a rage,"is it even so? |
| 964 | cried the Sheriff,"whence comest thou and where hast thou been?" |
| 964 | cried the Tanner,"art thou indeed the great Robin Hood, and is this the famous Little John? |
| 964 | cried the stout Friar,"what means this? |
| 964 | is it so?" |
| 964 | quoth Little John in a great loud voice,"wouldst thou give me backtalk? |
| 964 | quoth Little John,"have your prayers so little virtue? |
| 964 | quoth Robin Hood, laughing,"saw ye e''er such a pretty, mincing fellow?" |
| 964 | quoth Robin,"art thou the man that I have been at such pains to seek all day, and have got such a ducking for?" |
| 964 | quoth he-- for the Cook was a tall, stout man--"seest thou what that vile knave Reynold Greenleaf hath done? |
| 964 | quoth one,"and whither ridest thou today?" |
| 964 | roared the leader of the band in a great big voice of joy,"have we then caught thee at last, thou blue- clad knave? |
| 964 | said Little John, as soon as he could gather his wits from their wonder,"sawest thou that, Arthur? |
| 964 | said she;''Art thou the creature of a dream, Or a vision that I see?'' |
| 964 | said the Miller, throwing the great sack of meal from his shoulder to the ground,"and who are those with thee?" |
| 964 | then cried the brother grim,''Why dost thou gaze so after him?'' |
| 964 | thou wouldst have my money, wouldst thou?" |
| 49987 | And how offended him? |
| 49987 | And my son? |
| 49987 | And no one else? |
| 49987 | And nothing more? |
| 49987 | And now, Tangel,continued Hugh,"can you tell me whose man he is?" |
| 49987 | And pray what are we to have? |
| 49987 | And pray, why not? |
| 49987 | And this is the administration of the law under Henry the Third? |
| 49987 | And was he amongst them? |
| 49987 | And what has he on his breast? |
| 49987 | And what is that? |
| 49987 | And who did the Earl Ashby''s ton of flesh get it from? |
| 49987 | And who is he? |
| 49987 | And who is his own master? |
| 49987 | And who is the guilty one? |
| 49987 | And you are to be my lady, and I am to be your knight? |
| 49987 | And you love me as much, Lucy,added the young knight;"Is it not so?" |
| 49987 | And your sister? |
| 49987 | Are you serious? |
| 49987 | Are you sure that the charm is not love? |
| 49987 | Are you sure you can? |
| 49987 | Art thou in great pain? |
| 49987 | As if there were no beautiful woman in the world but Lucy de Ashby? |
| 49987 | Ay, I remember,replied the Earl, thoughtfully,"they found his sword naked and bloody-- But how is this?" |
| 49987 | Ay,he answered, looking from the wound to her face with an inquiring glance--"what of that?--Will that give me ease?" |
| 49987 | But can you be sure,said the Earl--"can you prove that this Richard de Ashby is one of them? |
| 49987 | But can you engage any woman you can trust? |
| 49987 | But how can I do that? |
| 49987 | But how shall I find my way? |
| 49987 | But how-- but how can we punish him? |
| 49987 | But how-- how? |
| 49987 | But one more question, my good lord,cried Sir William Geary,"Do you know the Lord Hugh de Monthermer, boy?" |
| 49987 | But still what is this to me? |
| 49987 | But suppose you can not? |
| 49987 | But tell me, how many casks of beer and butts of wine has it cost to complete that carcase of thine and paint that face? |
| 49987 | But the question now is,''Who did this deed?'' |
| 49987 | But upon what pretence,asked Dighton,"will you get him to come forth?" |
| 49987 | But what has become of his good cousin Dickon? |
| 49987 | But what is your purpose, my sweet cousin? |
| 49987 | But whither? 49987 But who is that under the arch?" |
| 49987 | But who shall I say to my lord sent me back with this message? 49987 But who tells thee thou shalt find it?" |
| 49987 | But why come you alone? 49987 But why do you not take exercise?" |
| 49987 | But you do not think him guilty? |
| 49987 | But, dear Lucy,said Hugh,"were your father dead, might not your brother doom you to the dark cold shade of the cloister?" |
| 49987 | Can not I have audience of the King, my lord,said Guy de Margan;"if but for a moment, or with the Earl de Ashby?" |
| 49987 | Can not suffer us to go on? |
| 49987 | Can not you, my most gracious lord? |
| 49987 | Can our friend Robin write? |
| 49987 | Can we not return by the steps in the passage, madam? |
| 49987 | Can you not do so now? |
| 49987 | Can you repeat what it contained? |
| 49987 | Can you show me where she is? |
| 49987 | Can you still maintain your post? |
| 49987 | Come,he said, after his first salutation to the two noblemen was over,"what have you here to eat? |
| 49987 | Could you not bribe some woman? |
| 49987 | Dare you say that I have anything to do with this? 49987 Dearest Lucy,"he said, at length,"even while I thank and bless you for coming, I must ask what brings you here? |
| 49987 | Did I not give you orders? 49987 Did a priest say so?" |
| 49987 | Did he say aught when he delivered it? |
| 49987 | Did my cousin go in? |
| 49987 | Did the man imply,asked the Earl,"that the people who accompanied this lady were using force?" |
| 49987 | Did they say nothing more? |
| 49987 | Did you not hear the Prince''s voice? |
| 49987 | Did you see the leopards, then? |
| 49987 | Did you see their banners? |
| 49987 | Did you see them with your own eyes? |
| 49987 | Didst never hear the old rhyme? |
| 49987 | Didst thou ever see him before that day? |
| 49987 | Do n''t you see it? |
| 49987 | Do n''t you see the sun? |
| 49987 | Do you doubt me, my lord? |
| 49987 | Do you know him? |
| 49987 | Do you think they would have executed him? |
| 49987 | Do you? |
| 49987 | Does the King ascend by this staircase? |
| 49987 | Doubt? |
| 49987 | Get thee to bed,cried Richard de Ashby, in a rude and angry tone, as soon as he saw her;"did I not bid thee get to bed before?" |
| 49987 | Go back again faster than we came? |
| 49987 | Gone, whither? |
| 49987 | Had you not better have a torch, my lord? |
| 49987 | Have you been seeking me, my lord? |
| 49987 | Have you lost many men, Robin? |
| 49987 | Have you the power? |
| 49987 | How is it possible for me to insure an event which is in the hand of fate alone? |
| 49987 | How is that? |
| 49987 | How know you that I am a noble lord, my man? |
| 49987 | How now, sirrah? |
| 49987 | How shall we manage, if we meet with any of them? |
| 49987 | How so, my lord? |
| 49987 | How so? |
| 49987 | How so? |
| 49987 | How will you seek it, De Margan? |
| 49987 | I can not let it lie and rot there.--I wonder how fares my cousin Alured? 49987 I know it,"said Hugh;"but what can I do? |
| 49987 | I may suspect----"And who do you suspect? |
| 49987 | I was.--But it matters not-- I will send him a message; and now, my lord, will you mount your horse again; and come with me? 49987 I will be even with him,"said the man called Bill;"but where''s the page and Walter?" |
| 49987 | In God''s name, woman, I adjure thee----"Wilt thou do what the priest bids thee do? |
| 49987 | In her own chamber? |
| 49987 | Is he alone? |
| 49987 | Is it just possible,said Grey,"that he may have taken means to diminish the number already?" |
| 49987 | Is it near the Prince? |
| 49987 | Is it not dangerous, Robin? |
| 49987 | Is it not so, Lucy? |
| 49987 | Is my horse prepared, then? |
| 49987 | Is she not arrived? |
| 49987 | Is she so very beautiful, then? |
| 49987 | Is that all that stays you? |
| 49987 | Is that all? |
| 49987 | Is the King still up? |
| 49987 | Is there an ink- horn there? |
| 49987 | Is this enough? |
| 49987 | Is your lord down in these parts? |
| 49987 | Know her? 49987 Know you not where?" |
| 49987 | May I not sometimes have a dearer title? |
| 49987 | Me? 49987 Methought the cognizance of the house of Ashby was a tree growing out of a brasier?" |
| 49987 | Must it be so? |
| 49987 | Nay, my lord, the Prince is gone,replied the man;"did you not know it?" |
| 49987 | Nay, why should I? |
| 49987 | No one, it seems, my good boy,answered Hugh,"but what come you here for? |
| 49987 | No, no,she said,"you would not have me pass the chapel, and the bell going, would you? |
| 49987 | Now speak truly; who gave you that letter? |
| 49987 | Now tell me,she continued,"is all prepared for your expedition?" |
| 49987 | Now, Hugh, now,cried the Prince;"What is all this? |
| 49987 | Now,he cried--"now all is ready; let us be gone.--Are your horses below?" |
| 49987 | Of whom? |
| 49987 | On your life and honour? |
| 49987 | Ought you not to be more upon your guard, my son, against those who come in than those who go out? |
| 49987 | Out upon it!--bear a blow? |
| 49987 | Perhaps you do, sir? |
| 49987 | Pray what is the matter with your cousin Richard? |
| 49987 | Public or private? |
| 49987 | Right well,replied Hugh de Monthermer;--"but is it sure, Robin?" |
| 49987 | Say me but yea or nay.--Did he go in, I say? |
| 49987 | Seen him twice, and did not arrest him? |
| 49987 | Shall I beat him, my lord? |
| 49987 | Shall I call upon the people to stop him? |
| 49987 | Shall we turn back and see, good father? |
| 49987 | Simply an answer to a question,said Richard de Ashby:"Is there a young lady staying here-- a pretty young lady-- called Kate Greenly? |
| 49987 | Tell us, who is this friar? 49987 That is well,"replied the Earl;"but now tell me, Robin, how many of your old friends have you gathered round you here, in case of need?" |
| 49987 | Then is she not here now? |
| 49987 | They all look cold upon me,muttered Richard de Ashby, as he walked slowly on;"can anything have been discovered?" |
| 49987 | Think you so? |
| 49987 | Think you that I will leave you here now, Lucy? |
| 49987 | Three pards, what they call passant? |
| 49987 | To be sure,replied she;"did I not tell you it was here?" |
| 49987 | Treason to whom? |
| 49987 | Well, Dickon,cried the first who entered,"we have thought of the matter well.--But what makes thee look so dull? |
| 49987 | Well, Lucy,he said, breaking the long pause at length,"as I can not deliver you, shall I remain with you to protect you?" |
| 49987 | Well, then,replied the boy,"doubtless you love not much the Earl of Ashby?" |
| 49987 | Well, well,said Alured de Ashby, a little ashamed perhaps of his irritable heat--"this is all waste of words!--Where were you? |
| 49987 | Well, what is the matter? |
| 49987 | Were they masked? |
| 49987 | What are they, my good lord? |
| 49987 | What did they say to you? |
| 49987 | What do you mean, my poor girl? 49987 What do you mean, wench?" |
| 49987 | What fact? |
| 49987 | What have I to do with that? |
| 49987 | What have you to answer, sir? |
| 49987 | What if he suspect something, and come with help at hand? 49987 What if they fail?" |
| 49987 | What is it you mean, Guy de Margan? |
| 49987 | What is it, my poor Lucy? |
| 49987 | What is that he says? |
| 49987 | What is that to thee, peasant? |
| 49987 | What is the matter, Robin? |
| 49987 | What is the matter? |
| 49987 | What is this? |
| 49987 | What keeps him, I wonder? |
| 49987 | What makes you think it has been opened, Hugh? |
| 49987 | What may they be? |
| 49987 | What news bring you in such haste? |
| 49987 | What now-- what now? |
| 49987 | What of me? |
| 49987 | What of my son? |
| 49987 | What old priest? |
| 49987 | What say you to this story, Robin? 49987 What say you, Edward?" |
| 49987 | What seekest thou, fat friar? |
| 49987 | What shall I do with the body? |
| 49987 | What shall we do? |
| 49987 | What tidings of my young lady? |
| 49987 | What would you, boy? |
| 49987 | What would you? 49987 What''s the hour?" |
| 49987 | What, ho!--stand!--who goes there? |
| 49987 | What, if I show you that, amongst the highest and most honourable of the land, there are those who will exculpate and defend you? |
| 49987 | What, is my lord arrived? |
| 49987 | What, is this all? |
| 49987 | What, will you not grant the first request I make? |
| 49987 | What,she asked herself,"what would be my own feelings under such circumstances?" |
| 49987 | What-- what do you mean? 49987 Where is Bill?" |
| 49987 | Where is my Lord of Leicester? |
| 49987 | Where is the Prince? |
| 49987 | Where is the lady? |
| 49987 | Where? |
| 49987 | Which way did the Earl of Ashby take? |
| 49987 | Who are these, marching against me, sirrah? |
| 49987 | Who are they, Scathelock? |
| 49987 | Who brought the letter given to my father just before he went out yesterday? |
| 49987 | Who gave you that letter? |
| 49987 | Who has been here? 49987 Who is he-- who is he?" |
| 49987 | Who shalt say that? |
| 49987 | Who told you to bring it? |
| 49987 | Who were the men you went to see? |
| 49987 | Who, or what is it you want? |
| 49987 | Why not the woman you have with you? |
| 49987 | Why not? |
| 49987 | Why, Guy de Margan,exclaimed his companion, in a bitter tone;"you do not think that I am tenderly anxious for Monthermer''s life?" |
| 49987 | Why, I thought that but now,exclaimed the Earl,"you did not know where our good friend was?" |
| 49987 | Why, Kate,exclaimed the Earl--"why how now-- what is this? |
| 49987 | Why, how is that, Sir Knight? |
| 49987 | Why, in the name of hell, did you not stop him? |
| 49987 | Why, who is this? |
| 49987 | Why, you seem to live on the edge of the forest, ploughman,said the serving- man;"it must be poor ground here, I wot?" |
| 49987 | Will she be so easily deceived, think you? |
| 49987 | Will you not put on the gown? |
| 49987 | Will you, most gracious lord,said Lucy--"will you give it me under your hand? |
| 49987 | With a bodkin? |
| 49987 | Women will gad, sir, and who can stop them? |
| 49987 | Yes, yes,said the girl,"I am sure you are going somewhere; if not, why have you put on that disguise?" |
| 49987 | Yes,she replied,"as it spreads.--Art thou a brave man? |
| 49987 | Yet tell me-- But no, you will not dream of it!--You have no thought of meeting in arms an innocent and blameless man upon a false and unholy charge? 49987 You are going to her, then?" |
| 49987 | You are not afraid to stay alone with Robin Hood-- or Robert of the Lees, if you like the name better? |
| 49987 | You have bad tidings? |
| 49987 | You may be weaker less skilful, may not have opportunity-- suppose you can not, I say? |
| 49987 | You read the letter, then? |
| 49987 | You seem to feel some deep interest in this Monthermer? |
| 49987 | You stay on the field then, my lord, I suppose? |
| 49987 | ''Tis twenty years since, when a beardless stripling, I got absolution for stealing the King''s game;--and what have I not done since? |
| 49987 | ''tis well for him I caught him not!--When was he here again?" |
| 49987 | ---------------"Did I not take thee at Christmas,"asked Robin,"and leave Harry behind? |
| 49987 | --There, girl-- keep that paper, and use it when thou wilt.--Now, art thou contented?" |
| 49987 | --This, then, is Robin coming? |
| 49987 | A sudden fear came over him, and stopping short, he exclaimed,"What is this, old hag?--There are men there?" |
| 49987 | Advancing, then, rapidly towards the Earl, he said, with his usual frank and generous bearing,"What is the matter, my noble lord? |
| 49987 | Alured took his cousin''s hand at once, asking,"Have you brought in the body? |
| 49987 | And so you unhorsed the traitor, but could neither kill nor take him? |
| 49987 | And who shall hold that fickle thing? |
| 49987 | Are you the warder''s boy?" |
| 49987 | Art not thou a sinner, too, as well as I am, ha?--and do not they tell us that the soft sins damn as surely as the rough ones? |
| 49987 | Art thou not thy cousin''s godfather in the list to- morrow?" |
| 49987 | As to the middle one, Why they took me away? |
| 49987 | Ask him if he ever saw Hugh de Monthermer unhorsed by a straight- forward stroke of a lance whoever was his opponent? |
| 49987 | At that moment Hugh spurred on his horse, and raising his voice, shouted aloud,"Tangel, Tangel, is that you?" |
| 49987 | At the end of the first flight, the Earl paused, saying,"Is not Dickon here, that he comes not forth?" |
| 49987 | Be you ready to prove that it is genuine?" |
| 49987 | Blast his own blood? |
| 49987 | Bring me to the block? |
| 49987 | But I will beseech you to let me know in what arises the suspicion that I had any share in this? |
| 49987 | But Lucy held him for a moment by the sleeve, saying, anxiously--"You will come back, Hugh? |
| 49987 | But can you bring him to punishment, Robin?" |
| 49987 | But come, Tangel, what hast thou got there? |
| 49987 | But how can one fix it to the lance''s point, so that in the shock of combat it is not brushed off?" |
| 49987 | But in the meantime, tell me more clearly what caused that look of joy just now?" |
| 49987 | But now what say you to the dice, Geary? |
| 49987 | But were you so anxious to have some speech with him?" |
| 49987 | But what can I do with the men? |
| 49987 | But what more, Hugh-- what more?" |
| 49987 | But where is the girl herself, and what has been her communication with Alured? |
| 49987 | But where is the guide I promised you? |
| 49987 | But why should I pause upon their happiness? |
| 49987 | But why should I stay, and not go with them, if there is a chance of finding the people that we want on the Mansfield road?" |
| 49987 | But would Lucy follow it?" |
| 49987 | But you ask me, who is the man? |
| 49987 | But you ask, how I know all this? |
| 49987 | But''Why?'' |
| 49987 | But, to speak of what is more important, my lord-- do you think the rogue filched any of your secrets?" |
| 49987 | But, to the point-- what can be done now? |
| 49987 | Can I speak with the lady Lucy? |
| 49987 | Can nought be done to save thee?" |
| 49987 | Did I not resolve on calm deliberation, and shall I regret now?" |
| 49987 | Did any of you see him go?" |
| 49987 | Did he not avoid meeting you in arms, on quarrel concerning my poor little paramour? |
| 49987 | Did this dear lady point at any one whom she believed the culprit?" |
| 49987 | Did you ever taste better out of the spare tankard which the butler hideth behind the cellar door?" |
| 49987 | Did you not hear the message I sent to the good old Lord of Monthermer?" |
| 49987 | Did you not receive a letter to- day?" |
| 49987 | Did you not tell me I must die?" |
| 49987 | Did you, De Clare?" |
| 49987 | Do n''t you see? |
| 49987 | Do you believe me?" |
| 49987 | Do you bring us any farther tidings from Nottingham?" |
| 49987 | Do you go with me, De Clare?" |
| 49987 | Do you know that?" |
| 49987 | Do you mean to charge me with any share in your father''s death? |
| 49987 | Do you mean to imply that I did know?" |
| 49987 | Do you suppose that the cruel and deceitful villain into whose power I have fallen leaves me to roam whither I please? |
| 49987 | Do you think I can be contented, to know that either he or you must die? |
| 49987 | Do you understand me, my lord?" |
| 49987 | Does your dwelling lie in this direction?" |
| 49987 | Dost thou fear death?" |
| 49987 | Give you good day, sirs!--whither are ye going?" |
| 49987 | Gone to Nottingham, just after morning song? |
| 49987 | Had it been found, he asked himself, by those bold tenants of Sherwood, whose shrewdness, determination, and activity he well knew? |
| 49987 | Had you been young and pretty, by my faith, you would have found admission right soon.--What is it that you wish?" |
| 49987 | Has not that news reached you, that Lindwell Castle has a new lord?" |
| 49987 | Has the Prior of St. Peter''s made love to thy paramour? |
| 49987 | Have the tidings been confirmed?" |
| 49987 | Have they ever failed to shed their blood in defence of the rights of the people? |
| 49987 | Have you any one you can send?" |
| 49987 | Have you any proof of his treachery in this business?" |
| 49987 | Have you aught else to tell?" |
| 49987 | Have you no horses?" |
| 49987 | Have you not found him?" |
| 49987 | Have you nothing that you could cast over these gay garments? |
| 49987 | He demanded of himself, Would it be honourable? |
| 49987 | He is somewhat worldly, it is true; but what host is not? |
| 49987 | He rose instantly, however, saying--"What would you, my fair lady?" |
| 49987 | He will never surely be so base, so utterly base!--and yet why has he not come on with me? |
| 49987 | Heard you aught else by the way?" |
| 49987 | His answer might be clear; with honour, innocence, and courage on his side, why should he fly?" |
| 49987 | How came he here?--Who brought him here to die?" |
| 49987 | How can we give_ him_ intimation of the scheme?" |
| 49987 | How can you all sit here with the casement closed?" |
| 49987 | How dare you keep me waiting here? |
| 49987 | How does the room smell?" |
| 49987 | How goes it with thee, fellow?" |
| 49987 | How is this step to be overleaped? |
| 49987 | How often had fate seemed near at hand in the burning march through the barren sands of the east, and in the deadly pestilence? |
| 49987 | How often had he met the abhorred enemy, Death, in the battle- field? |
| 49987 | How often he staked life''s bright jewel on the chances of an hour? |
| 49987 | How would men jeer at his name-- how silent would the heralds stand, when he entered the court or the tilt- yard? |
| 49987 | Hugh de Monthermer started up, with a look of half incredulous surprise--"Dead?" |
| 49987 | I asked how it is you proposed this rash appeal to arms, when I expected that you would demand fair trial and judgment according to law?" |
| 49987 | I fear that you have passed through some perils, and met with somewhat rough treatment on your road hither?" |
| 49987 | I fear there is no chance of getting into some ante- chamber, and overhearing what passes?" |
| 49987 | I had a warning of their being near, last night.--I do beseech you, my lord, tell me, of what do they accuse me? |
| 49987 | I have never loved any but you-- There, I can say no more, can I?" |
| 49987 | I mean no insult to the lady.--How should I know aught about her or her character? |
| 49987 | I was far away-- Did he go?" |
| 49987 | I will tell her I am going to take her with me to London, and to the gay things of the capital.--Is this the cottage, good dame?" |
| 49987 | If she chooses to stay there, who can send her back again? |
| 49987 | If they wish to remove this body?" |
| 49987 | In this ordeal, is the judgment of God shown, or is it not? |
| 49987 | Is Blawket to be found?" |
| 49987 | Is he a rebel, or is he not?" |
| 49987 | Is he not gone?" |
| 49987 | Is it not their doing, that such a thing as human bondage is disappearing from the island? |
| 49987 | Is the combat both of lance and sword?" |
| 49987 | Is this the hostel you boasted had such good wine? |
| 49987 | Is your name Blawket?" |
| 49987 | It is a pity-- you are sure that he is not dead?" |
| 49987 | Just as he spoke, the sound of quick feet following was heard, and the sentry turned sharply once more, exclaiming,"Who goes there?" |
| 49987 | Know you the way to his lodging?" |
| 49987 | Know you where she is?" |
| 49987 | Madge she was a merry maid, A merry maid, with a round black eye; And everything Jobson to her said, The saucy jade she ask''d him,''Why?'' |
| 49987 | Miller,"said one of the farmers, as a yeoman in the gay green passed him;"why have you brought your arrows with you? |
| 49987 | My lord the King, may not your son promise this gentleman grace and pardon?" |
| 49987 | Nevertheless----""Well, what of nevertheless?" |
| 49987 | Nobody listens to Tangel; and why? |
| 49987 | Now I have often seen Hugh de Monthermer run a course-- you, I think, never have but once?" |
| 49987 | Now, Tangel, look at him well, and say if he came from Robin Hood?" |
| 49987 | Now, my Lord Hugh, from whom comes this demand?" |
| 49987 | Of that, at least, I am innocent, whatever I be guilty of.--Here is a witness can not lie.--Draw back the curtains.--Will you believe himself?" |
| 49987 | Perhaps''twere better to fly, while there is yet time!--Fly? |
| 49987 | Perhaps, as you love forest thieves so well, you have no distaste for the King''s venison yourself?" |
| 49987 | Pretty Kate,"he continued, advancing to the spot where she stood,"will you give me your hand to lead you a measure round the Maypole?" |
| 49987 | Ralph Harland cast her hand from him indignantly, and fronting Richard de Ashby, exclaimed--"To do what?" |
| 49987 | Ralph, what ails thee? |
| 49987 | Robin, is that you?" |
| 49987 | Seest thou that small black spot upon the edge of the wound?" |
| 49987 | Shall I bid the men come on with me, or to stay here till I return?" |
| 49987 | She held a lamp in her hand, and gazing upon the countenance of the visitor with a keen and not very placable look, she asked--"What do you want?" |
| 49987 | She looked in his face for a moment or two in silence, and in the end asked him simply,"What then do you intend to do?" |
| 49987 | She must give it to her husband.--What does it contain, I wonder?" |
| 49987 | So goes the old song--"To whom does woman''s love belong? |
| 49987 | So, Gloucester is proclaimed a traitor?" |
| 49987 | Stain the name of Ashby for ever? |
| 49987 | Suppose, after visiting Lindwell, she thought fit to ask this noble gentleman to guard and protect her by the way, till she overtook her father?" |
| 49987 | Tell the Prince? |
| 49987 | That would suit your purpose well, you think? |
| 49987 | The burden is soon borne, when once it is taken up.--They do not believe my story;--is it so?" |
| 49987 | The knight rode away, and Edward, turning to the other who had accompanied him, demanded--"They have not found him yet?" |
| 49987 | The messengers, at length, I trust.--Do you know your errand, boy?" |
| 49987 | The moment the soldier turned the angle, and saw him, he exclaimed,"Who goes there? |
| 49987 | The young Earl read and re- read it, and then looking upon his companion somewhat sternly, he asked,"Why did you not produce this before?" |
| 49987 | Then came the thought of what if he were to avoid the combat?--What would be the consequences then? |
| 49987 | Then if secrecy be wanting, we are as wise as we are strong-- are we not, Ellerby?" |
| 49987 | There is good lodging, too.--Canst thou not trust a friar?" |
| 49987 | There shall be nothing kept from me now.--Murder? |
| 49987 | These are bad times, ar''n''t they? |
| 49987 | These surely may be laid aside, when the matter is to rescue from crime, from death, or from disgrace, beings so much beloved as these?" |
| 49987 | They are not on the road to Mansfield?" |
| 49987 | Thin ale,--isn''t it? |
| 49987 | Think you his master has really any share in that bad business? |
| 49987 | Think you they had any share in it?" |
| 49987 | Thinkest thou that I love that man? |
| 49987 | To save my Edward, what should stand in my way? |
| 49987 | Try them-- try them-- they are good for the complexion: and now, Master Serving- man, what think you of the wine? |
| 49987 | Two of them belong to my Lord of Ashby,--and where can I stable my horses?" |
| 49987 | Was it not so, Tom?" |
| 49987 | Was there no one, sir, who, even out of such grounds as these, could find matter to defend me?" |
| 49987 | We entertain the same.--Have you, too, any cause to fix upon the murderer?" |
| 49987 | Were it not as well to take a cup of wine before you ride forth?" |
| 49987 | What can we do?" |
| 49987 | What did you learn?" |
| 49987 | What does he in Kenilworth?" |
| 49987 | What dost thou idling here, minion? |
| 49987 | What has happened to you?" |
| 49987 | What have I to do with his death? |
| 49987 | What have you going forward here-- a May- day dance? |
| 49987 | What is it ails thee, man? |
| 49987 | What is it that you want?" |
| 49987 | What is it thou meanest?" |
| 49987 | What is it you want to tell me?" |
| 49987 | What is it?" |
| 49987 | What is the matter with me? |
| 49987 | What is this plan of yours?" |
| 49987 | What is this?" |
| 49987 | What like were these men who lured you from your lady?" |
| 49987 | What makes you ride the forest, Barnaby? |
| 49987 | What makes you think now that it is a forgery?--Has love nothing to do with the defence?" |
| 49987 | What might have been Blawket''s reply, who shall say? |
| 49987 | What more did the letter say?" |
| 49987 | What say you to that little tree?" |
| 49987 | What say you, Hugh, will you be the link to bind him to our cause?" |
| 49987 | What say you, Lucy, shall it be so?" |
| 49987 | What say you, Sir John Hardy?" |
| 49987 | What say you; will you come with me to the west, and take a part in the struggle that I see approaching?" |
| 49987 | What then shall I gain? |
| 49987 | What think you of him?" |
| 49987 | What was I thinking of? |
| 49987 | What was he to say? |
| 49987 | What was the cause of your being taken away? |
| 49987 | What will you have? |
| 49987 | What''s the wit of giving counsel to a man in a purfled jerkin? |
| 49987 | When they had proceeded some way down it, the young Earl asked, with even more than his usual impatience--"Are we not near it yet?" |
| 49987 | Where Is this girl of yours?" |
| 49987 | Where are this man''s clothes, I wonder?" |
| 49987 | Where do we rest to- night?" |
| 49987 | Where have you laid him?" |
| 49987 | Where is my presence wanted, Kate?" |
| 49987 | Where is the horse?" |
| 49987 | Where is your master?" |
| 49987 | Where shall I find you, my good lord?" |
| 49987 | Whether, if I do, men will not cry coward on me?--whether my renown will not suffer in the eyes of Europe? |
| 49987 | Who accused thee? |
| 49987 | Who can have done this, Robin?--Do you know?" |
| 49987 | Who can tell how a man may be poisoned? |
| 49987 | Who can wonder that they forgot the minutes in such joys as the human heart can know but once in life? |
| 49987 | Who has been here since I went?" |
| 49987 | Who is there that says, This good old lord visited my cottage and soothed me in sickness or in sorrow? |
| 49987 | Who is this he is driving down before him, at the point of the lance? |
| 49987 | Who was this boy you spoke of?--Where have you left him?" |
| 49987 | Why dost thou not repent and make atonement?" |
| 49987 | Why have you turned your back upon Lindwell, my good lord? |
| 49987 | Why should I relate what each said to the other? |
| 49987 | Why should he?" |
| 49987 | Why who thought to see you here? |
| 49987 | Why would you not wear them?" |
| 49987 | Why, after two poor days''companionship, send me on with serving- men? |
| 49987 | Why, my lord, it seems you have not finished yet?" |
| 49987 | Will that satisfy you?" |
| 49987 | Will you disobey my first command?" |
| 49987 | Will you please to dismount, and taste our cheer? |
| 49987 | Wilt thou do what the priest tells thee, even if it be to make public confession of who did that deed?" |
| 49987 | Without making any reply to Alured de Ashby then, he wheeled round his horse to Lucy''s side, asking in a low voice--"Shall I go?" |
| 49987 | Would he not be considered recreant and coward? |
| 49987 | Would not the noble Earl of Ashby trust himself amidst these shades?" |
| 49987 | Would she forget him when he was gone? |
| 49987 | Would she give her hand to another? |
| 49987 | Would you have the whole story get abroad, and be put to death for the murder?" |
| 49987 | Yet what could I say, what could I do, so long as my brother maintained the charge in all its virulence? |
| 49987 | You can make him believe anything you like.--Your mother was a Jewess, was n''t she?" |
| 49987 | You do n''t think we let the hanging begin without having the first hand in it?" |
| 49987 | You know her, methinks,--do you not?" |
| 49987 | You may ask, why we hold her-- why we have taken her from her friends? |
| 49987 | You saw those banners?" |
| 49987 | You say that it contains proofs of your lover''s innocence?" |
| 49987 | You say, lady, that you see a motive for the forgery;--is it that you have any suspicion of another having done this deed?" |
| 49987 | You will come back?" |
| 49987 | and both shall go on the same road.--Half an hour, say you?--Will he have strength to end the combat? |
| 49987 | and whither are you having the great kindness to conduct my sister?" |
| 49987 | and yet how troublous is this sad dream of human existence, which we are so loath to lose? |
| 49987 | answered the Prince,"But who is the man?" |
| 49987 | answered the yeoman--"But word, my good friend, before we go farther: as you are not what you seemed, it is as well I should know where I am going?" |
| 49987 | are my horses ready, there?" |
| 49987 | but where''s the body?" |
| 49987 | cried Guy de Margan,"is the truth out at length? |
| 49987 | cried Hugh de Monthermer; and, gazing earnestly in Edward''s face, he asked,"and shall my hand spill her brother''s blood?" |
| 49987 | cried Hugh de Monthermer;"but why not give me this before, dear Lucy?" |
| 49987 | cried Hugh, with a sort of prescience of what she was about to say--"what is that you are going to ask? |
| 49987 | cried Lucy--"Let us go, Hugh-- why should we not go? |
| 49987 | cried Ralph Harland, eagerly;"if he be in Nottingham town, how can we reach him there? |
| 49987 | cried Richard de Ashby;"a priest here that night? |
| 49987 | cried the peasant,"what dost thou know of friars''cells? |
| 49987 | demanded Alured de Ashby, bending his brows sternly upon her--"Who is the guilty one? |
| 49987 | demanded Robin Hood, in the same jesting tune;"you would not have me doubt my man''s honesty?" |
| 49987 | do you not visit the King?" |
| 49987 | exclaimed De Margan;"the very visit of such a man is in itself suspicious.--Say you not so, Geary?" |
| 49987 | exclaimed Eleanor,"who can doubt it? |
| 49987 | exclaimed Hugh de Monthermer;"may I ask who?" |
| 49987 | exclaimed the young knight;"but are you certain?" |
| 49987 | has the Lord Alured returned?" |
| 49987 | he added, musing,"What had he to do at Kenilworth? |
| 49987 | he cried,"has he touched thee, the good- for- nothing rogue? |
| 49987 | he cried,"have I then found you at last?" |
| 49987 | he exclaimed,--"the Earl of Ashby dead?" |
| 49987 | he exclaimed--"What is all this? |
| 49987 | he exclaimed.--"Who is this?" |
| 49987 | he exclaimed;"from Warwick did he say the news had come?" |
| 49987 | he looked around, adding in a loud voice,"Who goes there?" |
| 49987 | he said, again, with a smile,"as silent as if I had caught you loosing your bow against the king''s deer in the month of May? |
| 49987 | he said, as they walked on,"how flies the crow now? |
| 49987 | he will!--Why should I fear? |
| 49987 | in the murder?" |
| 49987 | me?" |
| 49987 | miller, is this your mill?" |
| 49987 | my nephew,"exclaimed the old Earl--"a prisoner or a fugitive?" |
| 49987 | replied his master;"to- night, I say!--Do you grumble?" |
| 49987 | said Richard de Ashby,"danger at York, is there? |
| 49987 | said Robert of the Lees;"I believe they passed some two hours since, and----""And what?" |
| 49987 | said he, in a low tone,"who can keep out Tangel?" |
| 49987 | said the King--"was consorting with De Montfort, was fighting at Evesham, not contrary to your allegiance?" |
| 49987 | said the forester,"did I not tell you you would find them on the road to Mansfield, if at all? |
| 49987 | say you so?" |
| 49987 | she cried;"are you ready?" |
| 49987 | so they say, by the Bull''s hawthorn, under Lindwell Green, nor far from the skirt of Thornywood-- You know the place, my lord?" |
| 49987 | the gilded bubble-- how is it that man clings to thee so fondly!--Who would not gladly be waked from an unpleasant dream? |
| 49987 | the master of our revels-- where is he? |
| 49987 | three masked men?" |
| 49987 | to the right?" |
| 49987 | to- night, sir?" |
| 49987 | what hast thou got here, bumpkin?" |
| 49987 | what say you to this, Sir Guy de Margan?" |
| 49987 | what was he to do? |
| 49987 | where are you?" |
| 49987 | where is Little John?" |
| 49987 | whether he had any sons, and whether there were many cottages thereabout? |
| 49987 | whither?" |
| 49987 | why should I doubt? |
| 49987 | without there!--Does any one wait?" |
