which would have been of less moment but for the awful fact of his castle 

being in the possession of the king's forces�察�and in those days possession 

was   considerably   more   than   eleven   points   of   the   law。   The   baron   was 

therefore     convinced      that   the   earl's  outlawry     was    infallible�察  �and   that

Matilda must either renounce her lover�察�or become with him an outlaw and 

a   fugitive。    In  proportion�察    �therefore�察    �to  the   baron's    knowledge       of  the 

strength and duration of her attachment�察�was his fear of the difficulty of its 

ever being overcome�此          �her love of the forest and the chase�察�which he had 

never before discouraged�察�now presented itself to him as matter of serious 

alarm�察    �and    if  her  cheerfulness      gave    him    hope    on   the   one    hand    by 

indicating a spirit superior to all disappointments�察�it was suspicious to him 

on the other�察�as arising from some latent certainty of being soon united to 

the earl。     All these circumstances concurred to render their songs of the 

vanished       deer    and    greenwood       archery     and    Yoicks     and    Harkaway�察�

extremely   mal´a´propos�察  �and   to   make   his   anger   boil   and   bubble   in   the 

cauldron   of   his   spirit�察  �till   its   more   than   ordinary   excitement   burst   forth 

with sudden impulse into active manifestation。

        But    as   it  sometimes     happens�察    �from   the    might           Of    rage   in 

minds that can no farther go�察            �As high as they have mounted in despite 

In their remission do they sink as low�察              �To our bold baron did it happen 

so。��2�А�

Resolution and Independence。 

       For   his   discobolic   exploit   proved   the   climax   of   his   rage�察  �and   was 

succeeded       by   an   immediate      sense    that  he   had   passed     the  bounds     of 

legitimate   passion�察  �and   he   sunk   immediately   from   the   very   pinnacle   of 

opposition to the level of implicit acquiescence。 The friar's spirits were not 

to   be   marred   by   such   a   little   incident。   He   was   half´inclined�察  �at   first�察  �to 

return the baron's compliment�察�but his love of Matilda checked him�察�and 

when   the   baron   held   out   his   hand�察  �the   friar   seized   it   cordially�察  �and   they 

drowned all recollection of the affair by pledging each other in a cup of 

canary。 

     The friar�察�having stayed long enough to see every thing replaced on a 

friendly footing�察�rose�察 �and moved to take his leave。  Matilda told him  he 

must   come   again   on   the   morrow�察  �for   she   had   a   very   long   confession   to 

make to him。        This the friar promised to do�察�and departed with the knight。

     Sir Ralph�察�on reaching the abbey�察�drew his followers together�察�and led 

them     to   Locksley      Castle�察   �which     he   found    in   the   possession     of   his 

lieutenant�察�whom  he   again   left   there  with a  sufficient   force  to   hold  it   in 

safe keeping   in   the   king's   name�察  �and   proceeded   to   London   to   report   the 

results of his enterprise。 

     Now Henry our royal king was very wroth at the earl's evasion�察�and 

swore by Saint Thomas´a´Becket ��whom he had himself translated into a 

saint by having him knocked on the head���察�that he would give the castle 

and lands of Locksley to the man who should bring in the earl。                      Hereupon 

ensued a process of thought in the mind of the knight。                      The eyes of the 

fair huntress of Arlingford had left a wound in his heart which only she 

who   gave   could   heal。   He   had   seen   that   the   baron   was   no   longer   very 

partial to the outlawed earl�察�but that he still retained his old affection for 

the lands and castle of Locksley。            Now the lands and castle were very fair 

things in themselves�察�and would be pretty appurtenances to an adventurous 

knight�察  �but   they   would   be   doubly   valuable   as   certain   passports   to   the 

father's favour�察�which was one step towards that of the daughter�察�or at least 

towards   obtaining   possession   of   her   either   quietly   or   perforce�察  �for   the 

knight was not so nice in his love as to consider the lady's free grace a sine 

qua   non�此    �and   to   think   of   being�察  �by   any   means   whatever�察  �the   lord   of 

Locksley and Arlingford�察�and the husband of the bewitching Matilda�察�was 

to cut in the shades of futurity a vista very tempting to a soldier of fortune。 

He set out in high spirits with a chosen band of followers�察�and beat up all 

the country far and wide around both the Ouse and the Trent�察�but fortune 

did   not   seem   disposed   to   second   his   diligence�察  �for   no   vestige   whatever 

could   he   trace   of   the   earl。   His   followers�察  �who   were   only   paid   with   the 

wages of hope�察�began to murmur and fall off�察�for�察�as those unenlightened 

days were ignorant of the happy invention of paper machinery�察�by which 

one promise to pay is satisfactorily paid with another promise to pay�察�and 

that   again   with   another   in   infinite   series�察  �they   would   not�察  �as   their   wiser 

posterity has done�察�take those tenders for true pay which were not sterling�察�

so that�察�one fine morning�察�the knight found himself sitting on a pleasant 

bank   of   the   Trent�察  �with   only   a   solitary   squire�察  �who   still   clung   to    the 



                                                  30

shadow  of preferment�察  �because   he   did not   see   at the   moment   any  better 

chance of the substance。 

     The knight did not despair because of the desertion of his followers�此�he 

was   well   aware   that   he   could   easily   raise   recruits   if   he   could   once   find 

trace of his game�察�he�察�therefore�察�rode about indefatigably over hill and dale�察�

to the great sharpening of his own appetite and that of his squire�察�living 

gallantly from inn to inn when his purse was full�察�and quartering himself 

in the king's name on the nearest ghostly brotherhood when it happened to 

be empty。 An autumn and a winter had passed away�察�when the course of 

his perlustations brought him one evening into a beautiful sylvan valley�察�

where he found a number of young women weaving garlands of flowers�察�

and   singing   over   their   pleasant   occupation。      He   approached   them�察  �and 

courteously inquired the way to the nearest town。 

     ;There is no town within several miles�察─�was the answer。 

     ;A village�察�then�察�if it be but large enough to furnish an inn�拭─               �There 

is Gamwell just by�察�but there is no inn nearer than the nearest town。; 

     ;An abbey�察�then�拭─�

     ;There is no abbey nearer than the nearest inn。; 

     ;A  house   then�察  �or   a   cottage�察  �where   I   may   obtain   hospitality   for   the 

night�拭─�

     ;Hospitality� ─�said one of the young women�察 �you have not far to seek 

for   that。   Do     you   not   know     that  you   are   in  the   neighbourhood       of 

Gamwell´Hall�拭─�

     ;So   far   from   it�察─  �said   the   knight�察   �that   I   never   heard   the   name   of 

Gamwell´Hall before。; 

     ;Never     heard    of  Gamwell´Hall�拭─      �exclaimed     all  the  young     women 

together�察�who could as soon have dreamed of his never having heard of the 

sky。 

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

my ignorance。;
