If we miss him, or he glides past before we can get a shot, we must follow shouting, so as to guide the rest as to the direction he is taking." "My chance of hitting him is not great," Harry said. "I am not a very good shot even on my feet; but sitting in my saddle I do not think it likely I should get anywhere near him." A quarter of an hour passed.
There was another "little recess" in the afternoon; then, at half-past four, school closed, or "broke," as the children called it, and they rushed forth with their empty dinner-buckets in hand, laughing and shouting and chasing each other as they started home.
The arrow was ill-feathered, and, wavering to one side, it smote an inch outside the garland. At this a great roar went up, those of the yeomen who sat upon the grass rolling over and over and shouting with laughter, for never before had they seen their master so miss his mark; but Robin flung his bow upon the ground with vexation. "Now, out upon it!" cried he.

As he was thus speaking a bird flew on his right hand an eagle with a great white goose in its talons which it had carried off from the farm yard and all the men and women were running after it and shouting. It came quite close up to them and flew away on their right hands in front of the horses.
Immediately I felt a handkerchief being rammed into my mouth, but from far below came the sound of hard knocking on the door of the tower, and men's voices shouting. Saumarez rapped out a fearful oath, and gave an order to the men. "You must carry him down below and drop him through the trap door into the vaults," he cried. "You will have plenty of time to do it if you are quick.
But worse was to happen. It seems that a soldier with wine in him had done insult to a Hebrew maiden who came alone to draw water at a canal.
