This
ill-timed
defiance
might
have
procured
for
De
Bracy
a
volley
of
arrows
,
but
for
the
hasty
and
imperative
interference
of
the
outlaw
Chief
.
Meanwhile
the
knight
caught
a
horse
by
the
rein
,
for
several
which
had
been
taken
in
the
stables
of
Front-de-Boeuf
stood
accoutred
around
,
and
were
a
valuable
part
of
the
booty
.
He
threw
himself
upon
the
saddle
,
and
galloped
off
through
the
wood
.
When
the
bustle
occasioned
by
this
incident
was
somewhat
composed
,
the
chief
Outlaw
took
from
his
neck
the
rich
horn
and
baldric
which
he
had
recently
gained
at
the
strife
of
archery
near
Ashby
.
"
Noble
knight
.
"
he
said
to
him
of
the
Fetterlock
,
"
if
you
disdain
not
to
grace
by
your
acceptance
a
bugle
which
an
English
yeoman
has
once
worn
,
this
I
will
pray
you
to
keep
as
a
memorial
of
your
gallant
bearing
--
and
if
ye
have
aught
to
do
,
and
,
as
happeneth
oft
to
a
gallant
knight
,
ye
chance
to
be
hard
bested
in
any
forest
between
Trent
and
Tees
,
wind
three
mots
upon
the
horn
thus
,
Wa-sa-hoa
!
and
it
may
well
chance
ye
shall
find
helpers
and
rescue
.
"
He
then
gave
breath
to
the
bugle
,
and
winded
once
and
again
the
call
which
be
described
,
until
the
knight
had
caught
the
notes
.
"
Gramercy
for
the
gift
,
bold
yeoman
,
"
said
the
Knight
;
"
and
better
help
than
thine
and
thy
rangers
would
I
never
seek
,
were
it
at
my
utmost
need
.
"
And
then
in
his
turn
he
winded
the
call
till
all
the
greenwood
rang
.
"
Well
blown
and
clearly
,
"
said
the
yeoman
;
"
beshrew
me
an
thou
knowest
not
as
much
of
woodcraft
as
of
war
!
--
thou
hast
been
a
striker
of
deer
in
thy
day
,
I
warrant
.
--
Comrades
,
mark
these
three
mots
--
it
is
the
call
of
the
Knight
of
the
Fetterlock
;
and
he
who
hears
it
,
and
hastens
not
to
serve
him
at
his
need
,
I
will
have
him
scourged
out
of
our
band
with
his
own
bowstring
.
"
"
Long
live
our
leader
!
"
shouted
the
yeomen
,
"
and
long
live
the
Black
Knight
of
the
Fetterlock
!
--
May
he
soon
use
our
service
,
to
prove
how
readily
it
will
be
paid
.
"
Locksley
now
proceeded
to
the
distribution
of
the
spoil
,
which
he
performed
with
the
most
laudable
impartiality
.
A
tenth
part
of
the
whole
was
set
apart
for
the
church
,
and
for
pious
uses
;
a
portion
was
next
allotted
to
a
sort
of
public
treasury
;
a
part
was
assigned
to
the
widows
and
children
of
those
who
had
fallen
,
or
to
be
expended
in
masses
for
the
souls
of
such
as
had
left
no
surviving
family
.
The
rest
was
divided
amongst
the
outlaws
,
according
to
their
rank
and
merit
,
and
the
judgment
of
the
Chief
,
on
all
such
doubtful
questions
as
occurred
,
was
delivered
with
great
shrewdness
,
and
received
with
absolute
submission
.
The
Black
Knight
was
not
a
little
surprised
to
find
that
men
,
in
a
state
so
lawless
,
were
nevertheless
among
themselves
so
regularly
and
equitably
governed
,
and
all
that
he
observed
added
to
his
opinion
of
the
justice
and
judgment
of
their
leader
.
When
each
had
taken
his
own
proportion
of
the
booty
,
and
while
the
treasurer
,
accompanied
by
four
tall
yeomen
,
was
transporting
that
belonging
to
the
state
to
some
place
of
concealment
or
of
security
,
the
portion
devoted
to
the
church
still
remained
unappropriated
.
"
I
would
,
"
said
the
leader
,
"
we
could
hear
tidings
of
our
joyous
chaplain
--
he
was
never
wont
to
be
absent
when
meat
was
to
be
blessed
,
or
spoil
to
be
parted
;
and
it
is
his
duty
to
take
care
of
these
the
tithes
of
our
successful
enterprise
.
It
may
be
the
office
has
helped
to
cover
some
of
his
canonical
irregularities
.
