'And come home, sir, to my court, And there dwell with me. 'I make mine avow to God, said Robin, 'And right so shall it be: 'I will come to your court Your service for to see. Accordingly, Robin left the greenwood and his company, entered the king's household, went with him to the court at London, and remained in his service for a year and three months.
John and Greenwood found plenty to do among the idle looms, but after all repairs and alterations had been completed, then John felt the stress of hours that had no regular daily task. For the first time in his life his household saw him irritable. He spoke impatiently and did not know it until the words were beyond recall. Jane had at such times a new feeling about her husband.
Very many words she said to her husband, and often the Marquis vacillated. But, when once the promise was given, Lady Frances was strong enough to demand its fulfilment. It was on this occasion that the Marchioness first allowed herself to speak to Mr. Greenwood with absolute disapproval of her husband. "To Hendon Hall!" said Mr.
Consequent on these pleasant surroundings, Hatton Chapel was crowded, the singing-pew held the finest voices in the countryside, and there was such a renewal of religious interest that Greenwood chose the most jubilant hymn tunes he could find in all Methodist Psalmody.
I went back to my comrades, and reported what I had done, and proposed that as soon as it was dark we should hunt up this free negro, and try and get help. Soon after dark, we all started and walked two miles to the little village of Greenwood.
This was now a great consolation and he had also a confident persuasion that the enforced lock-out would only last for a short time. "Things have got to their worst, Greenwood," he said, "and when the tide is quite out, it turns instantly for the onward flow." "To be sure it does, sir," was the answer. "Your honored father, sir, used to say, 'If changes don't come, make them come.
I am not going a mile from Hatton, and if any man or woman has a trouble I can lighten, let them come to me. And our God is not a far-off God. He is a very present help in time of need." With these words John lifted his hat a moment, and as he turned away, Greenwood led the little company out, singing confidently, "We thank Him for all that is past, We trust Him for all that's to come."
During a visit to Greenwood, Barrowe was arrested and sent to Lambeth Palace for examination. Upon refusing to take the oath required by the bishop, Barrowe was remanded to prison to await further examination. Later, he damaged himself and his cause by an unnecessarily bitter denunciation of his enemies and by a too dogmatic assertion of his own principles.
But if another heir were to be born, then, as far as she was aware, Burke's Peerage promised her nothing. "It's a pity he shouldn't break his neck out hunting," said Mr. Greenwood. "Even that wouldn't be much if he were to be married first," said the Marchioness.
"Stand off! stand off!" he said; "what is your will with me?" "Put by your weapon," said Much, "we will not harm you. But you must come before our master straight, under yon greenwood tree." So the minstrel put by his bow and suffered himself to be led before Robin Hood.
