by  a   tremendous   alarum�察 �and   sallying   forth�察 �and   looking   from  his   castle 

wall�察  �he   perceived   a   large   party   of   armed   men   on   the   other   side   of   the 

moat�察  �who   were   calling   on   the   warder   in   the   king's   name   to   lower   the 

drawbridge       and    raise  the   portcullis�察  �which     had   both    been   secured     by 

Matilda's      order。   The   baron    walked     along    the   battlement     till  he  came 

opposite to these unexpected visitors�察�who�察�as soon as they saw him�察�called 

out�察 �Lower the drawbridge�察�in the king's name。; 

     ;For what�察�in the devil's name�拭─�said the baron。 

     ;The sheriff of Nottingham�察─�said one�察 �lies in bed grievously bruised�察�

and   many   of   his   men   are   wounded�察  �and   several   of   them   slain�察  �and   Sir 

Ralph     Montfaucon�察       �knight�察  �is  sore   wounded       in  the   arm�察  �and   we    are 

charged   to   apprehend   William   Gamwell   the   younger�察  �of   Gamwell   Hall�察�

and     father   Michael      of  Rubygill     Abbey�察    �and    Matilda     Fitzwater     of 

Arlingford   Castle�察  �as   agents   and   accomplices   in   the   said   breach   of   the 

king's peace。; 

     ;Breach of the king's fiddlestick� ─�answered the baron。 ;What do you 

mean   by   coming   here   with   your   cock   and   bull�察  �stories   of   my   daughter 

grievously bruising the sheriff of Nottingham�拭             �You are a set of vagabond 

rascals in disguise�察�and I hear�察�by the bye�察�there is a gang of thieves that 

has just set up business in Sherwood Forest�此�a pretty presence�察�indeed�察�to 

get into my castle with force and arms�察�and make a famine in my buttery�察�

and a drought in my cellar�察�and a void in my strong box�察�and a vacuum in 

my silver scullery。; 

     ;Lord Fitzwater�察─�cried one�察 �take heed how you resist lawful authority�此�

we will prove ourselves; 

     ;You will prove yourselves arrant knaves�察�I doubt not�察─�answered the 

baron�察 �but�察�villains�察�you shall be more grievously bruised by me than ever 

was    the   sheriff   by  my    daughter    ��a  pretty   tale  truly�。��察  �if  you   do  not 

forthwith avoid my territory。; 

     By this time the baron's men had flocked to the battlements�察�with long´ 

bows   and   cross´bows�察  �slings   and   stones�察  �and   Matilda   with   her   bow   and 

quiver  at   their  head。 The  assailants�察  �finding   the   castle so   well   defended�察�

deemed it expedient to withdraw till they could return in greater force�察�and 

rode   off   to   Rubygill Abbey�察  �where   they  made   known   their   errand   to   the 

father abbot�察�who�察�having satisfied himself of their legitimacy�察�and conned 

over   the   allegations�察  �said   that   doubtless   brother   Michael   had   heinously 

offended�察    �but   it  was   not  for   the  civil  law   to  take   cognizance     of   the 

misdoings of a holy friar�察�that he would summon aCHAPTER of monks�察�

and   pass   on   the   offender   a   sentence   proportionate   to   his   offence。   The 

ministers of civil justice said that would not do。 The abbot said it would do 

and   should�察  �and   bade   them   not   provoke   the   meekness   of   his   catholic 

charity to lay them under the curse of Rome。                This threat had its effect�察�

and the party rode off to Gamwell´Hall�察�where they found the Gamwells 

and   their   men   just   sitting   down   to   dinner�察  �which   they   saved   them   the 

trouble of eating by consuming it in the king's name themselves�察�having

first   seized   and   bound   young   Gamwell�察  �all   which   they  accomplished   by 

dint of superior numbers�察�in despite of a most vigorous stand made by the 

Gamwellites in defence of their young master and their provisions。 

     The   baron�察  �meanwhile�察  �after   the   ministers   of   justice   had   departed�察�

interrogated Matilda concerning the alleged fact of the grievous bruising 

of   the   sheriff   of   Nottingham。      Matilda   told   him   the   whole   history   of 

Gamwell feast�察�and of their battle on the bridge�察�which had its origin in a 

design     of  the   sheriff   of  Nottingham   to      take   one   of   the  foresters    into 

custody。 

     ;Ay� �ay� ─�said the baron�察 �and I guess who that forester was�察�but truly 

this friar is a desperate fellow。          I did not think there could have been so 

much valour under  a grey frock。 And so   you wounded the knight in the 

arm。     You   are   a   wild   girl�察  �Mawd��a   chip   of   the   old   block�察  �Mawd。     A 

wild girl�察�and a wild friar�察�and three or four foresters�察�wild lads all�察�to keep 

a bridge against a tame knight�察�and a tame sheriff�察�and fifty tame varlets�察�

by this light�察�the like was never heard� �But do you know�察�Mawd�察�you must 

not   go   about   so   any   more�察  �sweet   Mawd�此      �you   must   stay   at   home�察  �you 

must   ensconce�察  �for   there   is   your tame   sheriff   on   the   one   hand�察  �that   will 

take you perforce�察�and there is your wild forester on the other hand�察�that 

will take you without any force at all�察�Mawd�此                �your wild forester�察�Robin�察�

cousin     Robin�察   �Robin     Hood     of  Sherwood       Forest�察  �that  beats    and   binds 

bishops�察�spreads nets for archbishops�察�and hunts a fat abbot as if he were a 

buck�此    �excellent   game�察  �no   doubt�察  �but   you   must   hunt   no   more   in   such 

company。        I see it now�此�truly I might have guessed before that the bold 

outlaw     Robin�察    �the  most    courteous     Robin�察   �the   new    thief   of  Sherwood 

Forest�察 �was   your   lover�察 �the   earl   that has   been�此    �I   might   have guessed   it 

before�察�and what led you so much to the woods�察�but you hunt no more in 

such company。         No more May games and Gamwell feasts。 My lands and 

castle would be the forfeit of a few more such pranks�察�and I think they are 

as well in my hands as the king's�察�quite as well。; 

     ;You   know�察  �father�察─  �said   Matilda�察   �the   condition   of   keeping   me   at 

home�此�I get out if I can�察�and not on parole。; 

     ;Ay�   �ay� ─  �said   the   baron�察   �if   you   can�察  �very   true�此  �watch   and   ward�察�

set�察�and so start fair。; 

     The baron would have gone on in this way for an hour�察�but the friar 

made his appearance with a long oak staff in his hand�察�singing�察�
