"A strapping fellow," said his Majesty, eyeing Tristram from head to foot. "And as good as he's tall. Sire, his offence if offence it be arose from the affection he bears me, and from no worse cause.

But now she was frightened, with such fierceness did the old ram lower his head and gaze at her, and she cried out, "Go on back, you good-for-nothing thing." "He won't hurt you," a voice cried in the woods, just beyond the fence. "Walk right up to him."
