At
these
words
the
Sheriff
's
men
stood
as
still
as
stocks
,
for
they
knew
right
well
that
Little
John
would
be
as
good
as
his
word
,
and
that
to
disobey
him
meant
death
.

But
when
the
Sheriff
saw
his
enemy
thus
slipping
betwixt
his
fingers
he
grew
mad
with
his
rage
,
so
that
his
head
swam
and
he
knew
not
what
he
did
.
Then
of
of
a
a

he
turned

and

Little

John
John
like

.
Then
Little
John
raised
his
deadly
bow
and
drew
the
gray
goose
feather
to
his
cheek
.
But
But
alas
alas
for
him
him
!
!
For
,
ere
he
could
loose
the
shaft
,
the
good
bow
that
had
served
him
so
long
,
split
in
his
hands
,
and
the
arrow
fell
harmless
at
his
feet
.
Seeing
what
had
happened
,
the
Sheriff
's
men
raised
a
shout
,
and
,
following
their
master
,
came
rushing
down
upon
Little
John
.
But
But
the
the
Sheriff

was
was
ahead

of
of
the
the
others

,
,
and
and
so
so
caught

up

before

he
he
reached

,
then
then
leaning
leaning
forward
forward
he
he
struck

a
a
mighty
mighty
blow
blow
.
.
Little
John
ducked
and
the
Sheriff
's
sword
turned
in
his
hand
,
but
the
flat
of
the
blade
struck
the
other
upon
the
head
and
smote
him
down
,
stunned
and
senseless
.
"
Now
,
I
am
right
glad
,
"
said
the
Sheriff
,
when
the
men
came
up
and
found
that
Little
John
was
not
dead
,
"
that
I
have
not
slain
this
man
in
my
haste
!
I
would
rather
lose
five
hundred
pounds
than
have
him
die
thus
instead
of
hanging
,
as
such
a
vile
thief
should
do
.
Go
,
get
some
water
from
yonder
fountain
,
William
,
and
pour
it
over
his
head
.
"
The
man
did
as
he
was
bidden
,
and
presently
Little
John
opened
his
eyes
and
looked
around
him
,
all
dazed
and
bewildered
with
the
stun
of
the
blow
.
Then
they
tied
his
hands
behind
him
,
and
lifting
him
up
set
him
upon
the
back
of
one
of
the
horses
,
with
his
face
to
its
tail
and
his
feet
strapped
beneath
its
belly
.
So
they
took
him
back
to
the
King
's
Head
Inn
,
laughing
and
rejoicing
as
they
went
along
.
But
in
the
meantime
the
widow
's
three
sons
had
gotten
safely
away
,
and
were
hidden
in
the
woodlands
.
Once
Once
more
more
the
the
Sheriff
Sheriff
of
of
Nottingham
Nottingham
sat
sat
within
within
the
the
King
King
's
's
Head
Head
Inn
Inn
.
.
His
heart
rejoiced
within
him
,
for
he
had
at
last
done
that
which
he
had
sought
to
do
for
years
,
taken
Little
John
prisoner
.
Quoth
he
to
himself
,
"
This
time
tomorrow
the
rogue
shall
hang
upon
the
gallows
tree
in
front
of
the
great
gate
of
Nottingham
Town
,
and
thus
shall
I
make
my
long
score
with
him
even
.
"
So
saying
,
he
took
a
deep
draught
of
Canary
.
But
But
it
it
seemed
seemed
as
as
if
if
the
the
Sheriff
Sheriff
had
had
swallowed
swallowed
a
a
thought
thought
with
with
his
wine
wine
,
,
for
for
he
he
shook

his
his
head
head
and
and
put
put
the
the
cup
cup
down
down
hastily
hastily
.
.
"
Now
,
"
he
muttered
to
himself
,
"
I
would
not
for
a
thousand
pounds
have
this
fellow
slip
through
my
fingers
;
yet
,
should
his
master
escape
that
foul
Guy
of
Gisbourne
,
there
is
no
knowing
what
he
may
do
,
for
he
is
the
cunningest
knave
in
all
the
world
--
this
same
Robin
Hood
.
Belike
Belike
I
I
had
had
better
better
not
not
wait
wait
until
until
tomorrow
tomorrow
to
to
hang
hang
the
the
fellow
fellow
.
.
"
So
saying
,
he
pushed
his
chair
back
hastily
,
and
going
forth
from
the
inn
called
his
men
together
.
Quoth
he
,
"
I
will
wait
no
longer
for
the
hanging
of
this
rogue
,
but
it
shall
be
done
forthwith
,
and
that
from
the
very
tree
whence
he
saved
those
three
young
villains
by
stepping
betwixt
them
and
the
law
.
So
get
ye
ready
straightway
.
"
Then
Then
once
once
more
more
they
they
sat
sat
Little
Little
John
John
upon
upon
the
the
horse

,
,
with
with
his
his
face

to
to
the

,
and
and
so

,
one

whereon

he
he
sat

and
and
the
the
others

riding

around
around
him

,
,
they
they
went
went
forward
forward
to
to
that
that
tree

from
from

branches

of
which
which
they
they
had

thought

to

.
On
they
went
,
rattling
and
jingling
along
the
road
till
they
came
to
the
tree
.
Here
one
one
of
of
the
the
men
men
spake
spake
to
the
the
Sheriff
Sheriff
of
of
a
a
sudden
sudden
.
.
"
Your
Worship
,
"
cried
he
,
"
is
not
yon
fellow
coming
along
toward
us
that
same
Guy
of
Gisbourne
whom
thou
didst
send
into
the
forest
to
seek
Robin
Hood
?
"
At
these
these
words
words
the
the
Sheriff

shaded

his
his
eyes
eyes
and
and
looked

eagerly
eagerly
.
.
"
Why
,
certes
,
"
quoth
he
,
"
yon
fellow
is
the
same
.
Now
,
Heaven
send
that
he
hath
slain
the
master
thief
,
as
we
will
presently
slay
the
man
!
"
When
Little
John
heard
this
speech
he
looked
up
,
and
straightway
his
heart
crumbled
away
within
him
,
for
not
only
were
the
man
's
garments
all
covered
with
blood
,
but
he
wore
Robin
Hood
's
bugle
horn
and
carried
his
bow
and
broadsword
.
"
How
now
!
"
cried
the
Sheriff
,
when
Robin
Hood
,
in
Guy
of
Gisbourne
's
clothes
,
had
come
nigh
to
them
.
