To

this

the

Sheriff

answered

never

a

word

,

but

all

the

blood

left

his

cheeks

,

and

he

caught

at

the

pommel

of

his

saddle

to

keep

himself

from

falling

;

for

he

also

saw

the

fellow

that

so

shouted

,

and

knew

him

to

be

Friar

Tuck

;

and

,

moreover

,

behind

Friar

Tuck

he

saw

the

faces

of

Robin

Hood

and

Little

John

and

Will

Scarlet

and

Will

Stutely

and

Allan

a

Dale

and

others

of

the

band

.

"

How

now

,

"

said

the

King

hastily

,

"

art

thou

ill

,

Sheriff

,

that

thou

growest

so

white

?

"

"

Nay

,

Your

Majesty

,

"

said

the

Sheriff

,

"

it

was

nought

but

a

sudden

pain

that

will

soon

pass

by

.

Thus

he

spake

,

for

he

was

ashamed

that

the

King

should

know

that

Robin

Hood

feared

him

so

little

that

he

thus

dared

to

come

within

the

very

gates

of

Nottingham

Town

.

Thus

rode

the

King

into

Nottingham

Town

on

that

bright

afternoon

in

the

early

fall

season

;

and

none

rejoiced

more

than

Robin

Hood

and

his

merry

men

to

see

him

come

so

royally

unto

his

own

.

Eventide

had

come

;

the

great

feast

in

the

Guild

Hall

at

Nottingham

Town

was

done

,

and

the

wine

passed

freely

.

A

thousand

waxen

lights

gleamed

along

the

board

,

at

which

sat

lord

and

noble

and

knight

and

squire

in

goodly

array

.

At

the

head

of

the

table

,

upon

a

throne

all

hung

with

cloth

of

gold

,

sat

King

Richard

with

the

Sheriff

of

Nottingham

beside

him

.

the

At

these

words

the

Sheriff

of

Nottingham

looked

down

gloomily

,

and

the

Bishop

of

Hereford

,

who

was

present

,

gnawed

his

nether

lip

.

Quoth

the

Sheriff

,

"

I

can

tell

Your

Majesty

but

little

concerning

the

doings

of

those

naughty

fellows

,

saving

that

they

are

when

I

heard

ofttimes

from

my

,

and

in

cases

I

heard

of

this

fellow

,

Robin

Hood

If
