"
At
this
all
laughed
;
but
above
all
the
laughter
a
loud
voice
was
heard
to
cry
out
,
"
Sin
'
thou
talkest
so
big
,
here
cometh
one
from
Nottinghamshire
to
try
a
fall
with
thee
,
fellow
"
;
and
straightway
a
tall
youth
with
a
tough
quarterstaff
in
his
hand
came
pushing
his
way
through
the
crowd
and
at
last
leaped
lightly
over
the
rope
into
the
ring
.
He
was
not
as
heavy
as
stout
William
,
but
he
was
taller
and
broader
in
the
shoulders
,
and
all
his
joints
were
well
knit
.
Sir
Richard
looked
upon
him
keenly
,
then
,
turning
to
one
of
the
judges
,
he
said
,
"
Knowest
thou
who
this
youth
is
?
Methinks
I
have
seen
him
before
.
"
"
Nay
Nay

,
"
"
said
the
the
judge
judge
,
"
"
he
he
is
a
stranger

to
to
me

Meantime
,
without
a
word
,
the
young
man
,
laying
aside
his
quarterstaff
,
began
to
take
off
his
jerkin
and
body
clothing
until
he
presently
stood
with
naked
arms
and
body
;
and
a
comely
sight
he
was
when
so
bared
to
the
view
,
for
his
muscles
were
cut
round
and
smooth
and
sharp
like
swift
-
running
water
.
And
And
now
now
each
each
man
man
spat
upon
upon
his
his
hands
hands
and
and
,
,
clapping
clapping
them
them
upon
upon
his
his
knees
knees
,
,
squatted
squatted
down
down
,
watching
watching
the
the
other
other
keenly
keenly
,
,
so
so
as
as
to
to
take
take
the
the
vantage
of
of
him
him
in
in
the
the
grip
grip
.
.
Then
like
a
flash
they
leaped
together
,
and
a
great
shout
went
up
,
for
William
had
gotten
the
better
hold
of
the
two
.
For
a
short
time
they
strained
and
struggled
and
writhed
,
and
then
stout
William
gave
his
most
cunning
trip
and
throw
,
but
the
stranger
met
it
with
greater
skill
than
his
,
and
so
the
trip
came
to
nought
.
Then
,
of
a
sudden
,
with
a
twist
and
a
wrench
,
the
stranger
loosed
himself
,
and
he
of
the
scar
found
himself
locked
in
a
pair
of
arms
that
fairly
made
his
ribs
crack
.
So
,
with
heavy
,
hot
breathing
,
they
stood
for
a
while
straining
,
their
bodies
all
glistening
with
sweat
,
and
great
drops
of
sweat
trickling
down
their
faces
.
But
the
stranger
's
hug
was
so
close
that
at
last
stout
William
's
muscles
softened
under
his
grip
,
and
he
gave
a
sob
.
Then
the
youth
put
forth
all
his
strength
and
gave
a
sudden
trip
with
his
heel
and
a
cast
over
his
right
hip
,
and
down
stout
William
went
,
with
a
sickening
thud
,
and
lay
as
though
he
would
never
move
hand
nor
foot
again
.
But
now
no
shout
went
up
for
the
stranger
,
but
an
angry
murmur
was
heard
among
the
crowd
,
so
easily
had
he
won
the
match
.
Then
one
of
the
judges
,
a
kinsman
to
William
of
the
Scar
,
rose
with
trembling
lip
and
baleful
look
.
Quoth
he
,
"
If
thou
hath
slain
that
man
it
will
go
ill
with
thee
,
let
me
tell
thee
,
fellow
.
"
But
the
stranger
answered
boldly
,
"
He
took
his
chance
with
me
as
I
took
mine
with
him
.
No
law
can
touch
me
to
harm
me
,
even
if
I
slew
him
,
so
that
it
was
fairly
done
in
the
wrestling
ring
.

"
That
we
shall
see
,
"
said
the
judge
,
scowling
upon
the
youth
,
while
once
more
an
angry
murmur
ran
around
the
crowd
;
for
,
as
I
have
said
,
the
men
of
Denby
were
proud
of
stout
William
of
the
Scar
.
Then
up
spoke
Sir
Richard
gently
.
"
Nay
,
"
said
he
,
"
the
youth
is
right
;
if
the
other
dieth
,
he
dieth
in
the
wrestling
ring
,
where
he
took
his
chance
,
and
was
cast
fairly
enow
.
