Book Description:
“Well, Robin, on what folly do you employ yourself? Do you cut sticks for our fire o’ mornings?” Thus spoke Master Hugh Fitzooth, King’s Ranger of the Forest at Locksley, as he entered his house.
Robin flushed a little. “These are arrows, sir,” he announced, holding one up for inspection.
Dame Fitzooth smiled upon the boy as she rose to meet her lord. “What fortune do you bring us to-day, father?” asked she, cheerily.
Fitzooth’s face was a mask of discontent. “I bring myself, dame,” answered he, “neither more nor less.”
“Surely that is enough for Robin and me!” laughed his wife. “Come, cast off your shoes, and give me your bow and quiver. I have news for you, Hugh, even if you have none for us. George of Gamewell has sent his messenger to-day, and bids me bring Robin to him for the Fair.” She hesitated to give the whole truth. (Summary by Vallabh Papdiwala)
