this was so sweet a lady sir and in some manner i do think she died
like as not young master though i am an old man
forthwith all ran to the opening of the tent to see what might be amiss but master will who peeped out first needed no more than one glance
he gave way to the others very readily and retreated unperceived by the squire and mistress fitzooth to the rear of the tent
before them fled the stroller and his three sons capless and terrified
what is the tumult and rioting cried out the squire authoritatively and he blew twice on a silver whistle which hung at his belt
nay we refused their request most politely most noble said the little stroller
i could not see my boy injured excellence for but doing his duty as one of cumberland's sons
it is enough said george gamewell sharply and he turned upon the crowd
shame on you citizens cried he i blush for my fellows of nottingham
tis fine for you to talk old man answered the lean sullen apprentice
but i wrestled with this fellow and do know that he played unfairly in the second bout
spoke the squire losing all patience and it was to you that i gave another purse in consolation
come to me men here here he raised his voice still louder
the strollers took their part in it with hearty zest now that they had some chance of beating off their foes
robin and the little tumbler between them tried to force the squire to stand back and very valiantly did these two comport themselves
the head and chief of the riot the nottingham apprentice with clenched fists threatened montfichet
now be silent on your lives he began but the captured apprentice set up an instant shout
he felt for and found the wizard's black cloth the squire was quite out of breath
thrusting open the proper entrance of the tent robin suddenly rushed forth with his burden with a great shout
a montfichet a montfichet gamewell to the rescue
taking advantage of this the squire's few men redoubled their efforts and encouraged by robin's and the little stroller's cries fought their way to him
what is your name lording asked the little stroller presently
i like you will you are the second will that i have met and liked within two days is there a sign in that
friends said montfichet faintly to the wrestlers bear us escort so far as the sheriff's house
master monceux the sheriff of nottingham was mightily put about when told of the rioting
have your will child if the boy also wills it montfichet answered feeling too ill to oppose anything very strongly just then
he made an effort to hide his condition from them all and robin felt his fingers tighten upon his arm
he is my esquire excellency returned robin with dignity
mistress fitzooth had been carried off by the sheriff's daughter and her maids as soon as they had entered the house so that robin alone had the care of montfichet
these escapades are not for old gamewell lad his day has come to twilight
you are a worthy leech will presently whispered robin the wine has worked a marvel
young fitzooth had been commanded to his mother's chamber so soon as he had come out from his converse with the squire
there befell an anxious interview mistress fitzooth arguing for and against the squire's project in a breath
most of all robin thought of his father what would he counsel
he was in deep converse with the clerk and entered the hall holding him by the arm
as any in england i would say said gamewell proudly that is in his day
there was no chance to alter his sleeping room to one nearer to gamewell's chamber
will cried he softly and stuteley who had chosen his couch across the door of his young master's chamber sprang up at once in answer
we will go out together to the bower there is a way down to the court from my window
the hours passed wearily by and movement could yet be heard about the hall
will whispered robin opening his door as he spoke are you ready
they then renewed their journey and under the better light made a safe crossing of the stable roofs
they moved thereafter cautiously about the hut groping before and about them to find something to show that warrenton had fulfilled his mission
they were upon the verge of an open trap in the far corner of the hut and stuteley had tripped over the edge of the reversed flap mouth of this pit
fitzooth's hand rested at last upon the top rung of a ladder and slowly the truth came to him
robin carefully descended the ladder and found himself soon upon firm rocky ground
stuteley was by his side in a flash and then they both began feeling about them to ascertain the shape and character of this vault
from the blackness behind the light they heard a voice warrenton's
cried he waving the lanthorn before him to make sure that these were no ghosts in front of him
nay nay lording answered warrenton with a half laugh
warrenton spoke thus with significance to show robin that he was not to think geoffrey's claims to the estate would be passed by
robin fitzooth saw that his doubts of warrenton had been unfair and he became ashamed of himself for harboring them
his tones rang pleasantly on warrenton's ears and forthwith a good fellowship was heralded between them
he implores us to be discreet as the grave in this matter for in sooth his life is in the hollow of our hands
they regained their apartment apparently without disturbing the household of gamewell
out in the woods stood a nice little fir tree
but this was what the tree could not bear to hear
in autumn the wood cutters always came and felled some of the largest trees
i would fain know if i am destined for so glorious a career cried the tree rejoicing
i am now tall and my branches spread like the others that were carried off last year oh
were i in the warm room with all the splendor and magnificence
yes then something better something still grander will surely follow or wherefore should they thus ornament me
something better something still grander must follow but what
rejoice in our presence said the air and the sunlight
rejoice in thy own fresh youth
but the tree did not rejoice at all he grew and grew and was green both winter and summer
and towards christmas he was one of the first that was cut down
he well knew that he should never see his dear old comrades the little bushes and flowers around him anymore perhaps not even the birds
the departure was not at all agreeable
the servants as well as the young ladies decorated it
perhaps the other trees from the forest will come to look at me
a story cried the children drawing a little fat man towards the tree
humpy dumpy fell downstairs and yet he married the princess
thought the fir tree and believed it all because the man who told the story was so good looking well well
i won't tremble to morrow thought the fir tree
and the whole night the tree stood still and in deep thought
tis now winter out of doors thought the tree
if it only were not so dark here and so terribly lonely
they snuffed about the fir tree and rustled among the branches
i am by no means old said the fir tree
there's many a one considerably older than i am
i know no such place said the tree
and then he told all about his youth and the little mice had never heard the like before and they listened and said
said the fir tree thinking over what he had himself related
yes in reality those were happy times
who is humpy dumpy asked the mice
don't you know one about bacon and tallow candles can't you tell any larder stories
then good bye said the rats and they went home
why one morning there came a quantity of people and set to work in the loft
but it was not the fir tree that they meant
it was in a corner that he lay among weeds and nettles
the golden star of tinsel was still on the top of the tree and glittered in the sunshine
in the court yard some of the merry children were playing who had danced at christmas round the fir tree and were so glad at the sight of him
and the gardener's boy chopped the tree into small pieces there was a whole heap lying there
the wood flamed up splendidly under the large brewing copper and it sighed so deeply
however that was over now the tree gone the story at an end
it was a serious crime indeed mister watson told them and tom gates bade fair to serve a lengthy term in state's prison as a consequence of his rash act
it was a deliberate theft from his employers to protect a girl he loved
but they could not have proven a case against lucy if she was innocent and all their threats of arresting her were probably mere bluff
