Helen could not believe the evidence of her eyes that she was in the woods calmly and hungrily partaking of sweet, wild-flavored meat that a full-grown mountain lion lay on one side of her and a baby brown bear sat on the other that a strange hunter, a man of the forest, there in his lonely and isolated fastness, appealed to the romance in her and interested her as no one else she had ever met.

His helmet had been roughly torn off, and blood was smeared upon his cheek. His noisy captors stood around him in a circle, eying him hungrily like dogs who have been beaten from their quarry. There were Gascons and English, knights, squires and archers, all pushing and straining. "I pray you, fair Prince, to get rid of these rude fellows," said King John, "for indeed they have plagued me sorely.

Fairfax took his seat at the table, ate hungrily, and looked so exactly like himself, and so unconscious of having done anything to provoke anger, to give pain or cause anxiety, that Bessie's imaginary difficulties in anticipation of his return were instantly removed. He made polite inquiries after Janey and Joss, and even hoped that Bessie had been enlivened by her little cousins' visit.
