The more lively looked at his Lincoln-green and shouted verses of ballads at him, fluttering broad sheets with verses on the lamentable fate of Jane Shore, or Fair Rosamond, the same woodcut doing duty for both ladies, without mercy to their beauty.
Then up spoke Little John and said: "Come, listen to me how it shall be that we will not be discovered." "Our mantles all of Lincoln-green Behind us we will leave; We'll dress us all so several, They shall not us perceive." "One shall wear white, another red, One yellow, another blue; Thus in disguise to the exercise We'll go, whate'er ensue."
"What do you think of that, Rorie?" cried the shrill sweet voice of the gray pony's rider! "I'm ashamed of you, Vixen," said Roderick, "you'll come to a bad end some of these days."

Fate had stepped on Thomas. As he sprang out of his bunk he was a reversion: the outlaw in Lincoln-green, the Yeoman of the Guard, the bandannaed smuggler of the southeast coast. Quickly he got into his uniform. He went about this affair the right way, with foresight and prudence; for he realized that he must act instantly. He sought the purser, who was cordial.

"Assuredly it is a strong castle now, Sir Eustace," Sir John said, "and would stand a long siege even by a great army."
