At

this

speech

the

King

's

brows

drew

together

blackly

,

and

he

turned

to

the

Queen

.

"

I

did

little

think

that

the

good

Bishop

would

so

betray

his

friends

.

But

bear

in

mind

that

thou

hast

pledged

thy

promise

for

the

safety

of

these

good

yeomen

for

forty

days

.

"

"

I

will

keep

promise

"

said

the

King

,

in

a

deep

voice

that

showed

the

anger

in

his

heart

,

"

but

when

these

forty

days

are

gone

let

this

outlaw

look

to

himself

,

for

mayhap

things

will

not

go

so

smoothly

with

him

as

he

would

like

.

"

Then

he

turned

to

his

archers

,

who

stood

near

the

Sherwood

yeomen

,

listening

and

wondering

at

all

that

passed

.

"

Then

the

three

archers

of

the

King

turned

and

went

back

to

their

booths

,

and

Robin

and

his

men

went

to

their

places

at

the

mark

from

which

they

were

to

shoot

.

Then

they

strung

their

bows

and

made

themselves

ready

,

looking

over

their

quivers

of

arrows

,

and

picking

out

the

roundest

and

the

best

feathered

.

But

when

the

King

's

archers

went

to

their

tents

,

they

told

their

friends

all

that

had

passed

,

and

how

that

these

four

men

were

the

famous

Robin

Hood

and

three

of

his

band

,

to

wit

,

Little

John

,

Will

Scarlet

,

and

Allan

a

Dale

.

The

news

of

this

buzzed

around

among

the

archers

in

the

booths

,

for

there

was

not

a

man

there

that

had

not

heard

of

these

great

mid-country

yeomen

.

From

the

archers

the

news

was

taken

up

by

the

crowd

that

looked

on

at

the

shooting

,

so

that

at

last

everybody

stood

up

,

craning

their

necks

to

catch

sight

of

the

famous

outlaws

.

Six

Then

Robin

Hood

and

Gilbert

of

the

White

Hand

tossed

a

farthing

aloft

to

see

who

should

lead

in

the

shooting

,

and

the

lot

fell

to

Gilbert

's

side

;

thereupon

he

called

upon

Hubert

of

Suffolk

to

lead

.

Hubert

took

his

planted

The

arrow

sped

,

and

lodged

in

the

white

;

again

he

shot

,

and

again

he

hit

the

clout

;

a

third

shaft

he

sped

,

but

this

time

failed

of

the

center

,

and

but

struck

the

black

,

yet

not

more

than

a

finger

's

-

breadth

from

the

white

.

At

this

a

shout

went

up

,

for

it

was

the

best

shooting

that

Hubert

had

yet

done

that

day

.

Merry

Robin

laughed

,

and

quoth

he

,

"

Thou

wilt

have

an

ill

time

bettering

that

round

Will

,

for

it

is

turn

next

.

Brace

,

and

bring

not

shame

upon

Sherwood
