     ;Indeed�察�no�察─�said Sir Ralph�察 �but I shall be very happy to get rid of 

my ignorance。; 

     ;And     so  shall   I�察─ �said  his  squire�察   �for   it  seems   that  in  this  case 

knowledge will for once be a cure for hunger�察�wherewith I am grievously 

afflicted。;

     ;And     why     are  you    so  busy�察   �my    pretty   damsels�察   �weaving      these 

garlands�拭─�said the knight。 

     ;Why�察�do you not know�察�sir�察─�said one of the young women�察 �that to´ 

morrow is Gamwell feast�拭─�

     The    knight    was    again   obliged�察   �with   all  humility�察   �to  confess    his 

ignorance。 

     ;Oh�   �sir�察─  �said   his   informant�察   �then   you   will   have   something   to   see�察�

that I can tell you�察�for we shall choose a Queen of the May�察�and we shall 

crown her with flowers�察�and place her in a chariot of flowers�察�and draw it 

with lines of flowers�察�and we shall hang all the trees with flowers�察�and we 

shall strew all the ground with flowers�察�and we shall dance with flowers�察�

and in flowers�察�and on flowers�察�and we shall be all flowers。; 

     ;That you will�察─�said the knight�察 �and the sweetest and brightest of all 

the   flowers   of   the   May�察  �my   pretty   damsels。;   On     which   all   the   pretty 

damsels smiled at him and each other。 

     ;And there will be all sorts of May´games�察�and there will be prizes for 

archery�察�and there will be the knight's ale�察�and the foresters' venison�察�and 

there will be Kit Scrapesqueak with his fiddle�察�and little Tom Whistlerap 

with   his   fife   and   tabor�察  �and   Sam   Trumtwang   with   his   harp�察  �and   Peter 

Muggledrone         with   his   bagpipe�察    �and   how     I  shall   dance    with    Will 

Whitethorn� ─      �added    the   girl�察 �clapping    her   hands    as   she   spoke�察  �and 

bounding from the ground with the pleasure of the anticipation。 

     A   tall   athletic   young   man   approached�察  �to   whom   the   rustic   maidens 

courtesied with great respect�察�and one of them informed Sir Ralph that it 

was young Master William Gamwell。                 The young gentleman invited and 

conducted the knight to the hall�察�where he introduced him to the old knight 

his father�察�and to the old lady his mother�察�and to the young lady his sister�察�

and to a number of bold yeomen�察�who were laying siege to beef�察�brawn�察�

and plum pie around a ponderous table�察�and taking copious draughts of old 

October。     A motto was inscribed over the interior door�察�

     EAT�察�DRINK�察�AND BE MERRY�此�

     an   injunction    which     Sir  Ralph    and   his  squire   showed     remarkable 

alacrity   in   obeying。    Old   Sir   Guy   of   Gamwell   gave   Sir   Ralph   a   very

cordial   welcome�察  �and   entertained   him   during   supper   with   several   of   his 

best   stories�察  �enforced   with   an   occasional   slap   on   the   back�察  �and   pointed 

with a peg in the ribs�察�a species of vivacious eloquence in which the�察�old 

gentleman       excelled�察   �and    which    is  supposed     by   many   of    that   pleasant 

variety of the human spectes�察�known by the name of choice fellows and 

comical   dogs�察  �to   be   the   genuine   tangible   shape   of   the   cream   of   a   good 

joke。

                               CHAPTER VI 



     What� �shall we have incision�拭�shall we embrew�拭                �Henry IV。 

       Old Sir Guy of Gamwell�察�and young William Gamwell�察�and fair Alice 

Gamwell�察�and Sir Ralph Montfaucon and his squire�察�rode together the next 

morning      to  the   scene   of   the  feast。   They    arrived   on   a  village   green�察�

surrounded   with   cottages   peeping   from   among   the   trees   by   which   the 

green   was   completely   encircled。   The   whole   circle   was   hung   round   with 

one   continuous garland of   flowers�察  �depending in   irregular   festoons   from 

the branches。 In the centre of the green was a May´pole hidden in boughs 

and    garlands�察   �and    a  multitude     of  round´faced      bumpkins      and   cherry´ 

checked      lasses   were    dancing    around     it�察 �to  the  quadruple     melody     of 

Scrapesqueak�察  �Whistlerap�察  �Trumtwang�察  �and   Muggledrone�此  �harmony   we 

must not call it�察�for�察�though they had agreed to a partnership in point of 

tune�察  �each�察  �like   a   true   painstaking   man�察  �seemed   determined   to   have   his 

time    to  himself�此    �Muggledrone        played    allegretto�察  �Trumtwang       allegro�察�

Whistlerap   presto�察  �and   Scrapesqueak   prestissimo。   There   was   a   kind   of 

mathematical proportion in their discrepancy�此�while Muggledrone played 

the    tune   four   times�察  �Trumtwang       played     it  five�察 �Whistlerap     six�察 �and 

Scrapesqueak eight�察�for the latter completely distanced all his competitors�察�

and   indeed   worked   his   elbow   so      nimbly   that   its   outline   was   scarcely 

distinguishable through the mistiness of its rapid vibration。 

     While the knight was delighting his eyes and ears with these pleasant 

sights   and   sounds�察 �all   eyes   were   turned   in one   direction�察  �and   Sir   Ralph�察�

looking round�察�saw a fair lady in green and gold come riding through the 

trees�察�accompanied by a portly friar in grey�察�and several fair damsels and 

gallant grooms。 On their nearer approach�察�he recognised the lady Matilda 

and   her   ghostly   adviser�察  �brother   Michael。      A  party   of   foresters   arrived 

from another direction�察�and then ensued cordial interchanges of greeting�察�

and    collisions    of  hands    and   lips�察 �among     the  Gamwells      and   the   new´ 

comers�察�How does my fair coz�察�Mawd�拭─�and ;How does my sweet coz�察�

Mawd�拭─  �and   ;How   does   my   wild   coz�察  �Mawd�拭─           �And   ;Eh�   �jolly   friar�察�

;Hey�   �cousin   Will�此─  �and   ;Od's   life�   �merry   Sir   Guy�察  �you   grow   younger 

every year�察─�as the old knight shook them all in turn with one hand�察�and 

slapped   them   on   the   back   with   the   other�察  �in   token   of   his   affection。   A 

number   of   young   men   and   women   advanced�察  �some   drawing�察  �and   others 

dancing   round�察  �a   floral   car�察  �and   having   placed   a   crown   of   flowers   on 

Matilda's   head�察  �they  saluted her   Queen   of   the May�察 �and   drew   her   to   the 

place appointed for the rural sports。 

     A hogshead of ale was abroach under an oak�察�and a fire was blazing in 

an   open   space   before   the   trees   to   roast   the   fat   deer   which   the   foresters 

brought。       The     sports   commenced�察       �and�察   �after   an   agreeable     series   of 

bowling�察�coiling�察�pitching�察�hurling�察�racing�察�leaping�察�grinning�察�wrestling or 

friendly dislocation of joints�察�and cudgel´playing or amicable cracking of 

skulls�察�the trial of archery ensued。 The conqueror was to be rewarded with 

a golden arrow from the hand of the Queen of the May�察�who was to be his 

partner     in  the   dance    till  the  close   of  the   feast。   This     stimulated     the 

knight's emulation�此�young Gamwell supplied him with a bow and arrow�察�

and he took his station among the foresters�察�but had the mortification to be 

out´shot by them all�察�and to see one of them lodge the point of his arrow in 

the golden ring of the centre
