Gurth
accordingly
hastened
his
pace
,
in
order
to
gain
the
open
common
to
which
the
lane
led
,
but
was
not
so
fortunate
as
to
accomplish
his
object
.
Just
as
he
had
attained
the
upper
end
of
the
lane
,
where
the
underwood
was
thickest
,
four
men
sprung
upon
him
,
even
as
his
fears
anticipated
,
two
from
each
side
of
the
road
,
and
seized
him
so
fast
,
that
resistance
,
if
at
first
practicable
,
would
have
been
now
too
late
.
--
"
Surrender
your
charge
,
"
said
one
of
them
;
"
we
are
the
deliverers
of
the
commonwealth
,
who
ease
every
man
of
his
burden
.
"
"
You
should
not
ease
me
of
mine
so
lightly
,
"
muttered
Gurth
,
whose
surly
honesty
could
not
be
tamed
even
by
the
pressure
of
immediate
violence
,
--
"
had
I
it
but
in
my
power
to
give
three
strokes
in
its
defence
.
"
"
We
shall
see
that
presently
,
"
said
the
robber
;
and
,
speaking
to
his
companions
,
he
added
,
"
bring
along
the
knave
.
I
see
he
would
have
his
head
broken
,
as
well
as
his
purse
cut
,
and
so
be
let
blood
in
two
veins
at
once
.
"
Gurth
was
hurried
along
agreeably
to
this
mandate
,
and
having
been
dragged
somewhat
roughly
over
the
bank
,
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
lane
,
found
himself
in
a
straggling
thicket
,
which
lay
betwixt
it
and
the
open
common
.
He
was
compelled
to
follow
his
rough
conductors
into
the
very
depth
of
this
cover
,
where
they
stopt
unexpectedly
in
an
irregular
open
space
,
free
in
a
great
measure
from
trees
,
and
on
which
,
therefore
,
the
beams
of
the
moon
fell
without
much
interruption
from
boughs
and
leaves
.
Here
his
captors
were
joined
by
two
other
persons
,
apparently
belonging
to
the
gang
.
They
had
short
swords
by
their
sides
,
and
quarter-staves
in
their
hands
,
and
Gurth
could
now
observe
that
all
six
wore
visors
,
which
rendered
their
occupation
a
matter
of
no
question
,
even
had
their
former
proceedings
left
it
in
doubt
.
"
What
money
hast
thou
,
churl
?
"
said
one
of
the
thieves
.
"
Thirty
zecchins
of
my
own
property
,
"
answered
Gurth
,
doggedly
.
"
A
forfeit
--
a
forfeit
,
"
shouted
the
robbers
;
"
a
Saxon
hath
thirty
zecchins
,
and
returns
sober
from
a
village
!
An
undeniable
and
unredeemable
forfeit
of
all
he
hath
about
him
.
"
"
I
hoarded
it
to
purchase
my
freedom
,
"
said
Gurth
.
"
Thou
art
an
ass
,
"
replied
one
of
the
thieves
"
three
quarts
of
double
ale
had
rendered
thee
as
free
as
thy
master
,
ay
,
and
freer
too
,
if
he
be
a
Saxon
like
thyself
.
"
"
A
sad
truth
,
"
replied
Gurth
;
"
but
if
these
same
thirty
zecchins
will
buy
my
freedom
from
you
,
unloose
my
hands
,
and
I
will
pay
them
to
you
.
"
