And

now

Robin

,

having

reached

the

bank

,

began

,

without

more

ado

,

to

roll

up

his

sleeves

above

his

wrists

.

The

Friar

,

also

,

tucked

his

robes

more

about

him

,

showing

a

great

,

stout

arm

on

which

the

muscles

stood

out

like

humps

of

an

aged

tree

.

Then

Robin

saw

,

what

he

had

not

wotted

of

before

,

that

the

Friar

had

also

a

coat

of

chain

mail

beneath

his

gown

.

"

Look

to

thyself

,

"

cried

Robin

,

drawing

his

good

sword

.

"

Ay

,

marry

,

"

quoth

the

Friar

,

who

held

his

already

in

his

hand

.

So

Right

and

and

back

and

they

fought

I

wot

this

was

no

playful

bout

at

quarterstaff

,

but

a

grim

and

serious

fight

of

real

earnest

.

Thus

Yet

in

all

this

neither

had

harmed

the

other

nor

caused

his

blood

to

flow

.

At

last

merry

Robin

cried

,

"

Hold

thy

hand

,

good

friend

!

"

whereupon

both

lowered

their

swords

.

Now

I

crave

a

boon

ere

we

begin

again

,

"

quoth

Robin

,

wiping

the

sweat

from

his

brow

;

for

they

had

striven

so

long

that

he

began

to

think

that

it

would

be

an

ill-done

thing

either

to

be

smitten

himself

or

to

smite

so

stout

and

brave

a

fellow

.

"

"

What

asked

the

Friar

.

"

Only

this

,

"

quoth

Robin

;

"

that

thou

wilt

let

me

blow

thrice

upon

my

bugle

horn

.

"

The

Friar

bent

his

brows

and

looked

shrewdly

at

Robin

Hood

.

"

Now

I

do

verily

think

that

thou

hast

some

cunning

trick

in

this

,

"

quoth

he

.

Ne'ertheless

,

I

fear

thee

not

,

and

will

let

thee

have

thy

wish

,

providing

thou

wilt

also

let

me

blow

thrice

upon

this

little

whistle

.

So

saying

,

he

raised

his

silver

horn

to

his

lips

and

blew

thrice

upon

it

,

clear

and

high

.

Meantime

,

the

Friar

stood

watching

keenly

for

what

might

come

to

pass

,

holding

in

his

fingers

the

while

a

pretty

silver

whistle

,

such

as

knights

use

for

calling

their

hawks

back

to

their

wrists

,

which

whistle

always

hung

at

his

girdle

along

with

his

rosary

.
