"I think," says he, "I would hardly like to see a musket on that little shoulder, nor a wound on that pretty face, Hetty." "Wounds! who fears wounds?" cries the little maid. "Muskets?

As they drew near they saw a leader of the opposing host, clad in a blue mantle and wearing a shining helmet, fall to the earth through the stumbling of his horse.
