Thanks mainly to Ted and his axe we had the necessary stakes cut, and the tent pitched before dark.
"'Twas so I thought, Martin," said he a little humbly, and laying his hands upon my shoulders, "but only for myself, dear lad, I fight better than I walk, so will I stay and make this my cumbersome body of some little use, perchance; but as for thee, dear and loved lad, I would have you haste on " "Enough, sir," quoth I, catching his hands in mine, "if you must stay to fight, so do I."
