Ha

!

"

cried

Robin

,

"

is

it

even

so

?

I

have

near

kin

of

that

name

.

Whence

camest

thou

,

fair

friend

?

"

"

From

Maxfield

Town

I

come

,

"

answered

the

stranger

.

"

There

was

I

born

and

bred

,

and

thence

I

come

to

seek

my

mother

's

young

brother

,

whom

men

call

Robin

Hood

.

So

,

if

perchance

thou

mayst

direct

me

--

"

"

Ha

!

Will

Gamwell

!

"

cried

Robin

,

placing

both

hands

upon

the

other

's

shoulders

and

holding

him

off

at

arm

's

length

.

"

Surely

,

it

can

be

none

other

!

I

might

Now

,

by

the

breath

of

my

body

!

"

cried

the

other

,

"

I

do

believe

from

my

heart

that

thou

art

mine

own

Uncle

Robin

.

Nay

,

certain

it

is

so

!

"

And

each

flung

his

arms

around

the

other

,

kissing

him

upon

the

cheek

.

Then

once

more

Robin

held

his

kinsman

off

at

arm

's

length

and

scanned

him

keenly

from

top

to

toe

.

"

Why

,

how

now

,

"

quoth

he

,

"

what

change

is

here

?

Verily

,

some

eight

or

ten

years

ago

I

left

thee

a

stripling

lad

,

with

great

joints

and

ill-hung

limbs

,

and

lo

!

here

thou

art

,

as

tight

a

fellow

as

set

mine

Yea

said

young

Gamwell

,

"

and

I

did

so

look

up

to

thee

,

and

thought

thee

so

above

all

other

men

that

,

I

make

my

vow

had

I

known

,

I

I

trust

did

thee

no

harm

"

"

Alas

"

answered

young

Gamwell

,

"

it

is

an

ill

story

uncle

,

that

I

have

to

tell

thee

.

My

father

's

steward

,

who

came

to

us

after

old

Giles

Crookleg

died

,

was

ever

a

saucy

varlet

,

and

I

know

not

why

my

father

kept

him

,

saving

that

he

did

oversee

with

great

judgment

.

It

used

to

gall

me

to

hear

him

speak

up

so

boldly

to

my

father

,

who

,

thou

knowest

,

was

ever

a

patient

man

to

those

about

him

,

and

slow

to

anger

and

harsh

words

.

Well

stepping

forth

I

gave

him

a

o

the

ear

,

and

--

wouldst

thou

believe

it

?

--

the

fellow

straightway

died

o

I

think

they

said

I

broke

his

,

or

So
