"May it please your Reverence," returned Robin bowing very humbly, "I am but a strolling harper, yet likened the best in the whole North Countree. And I had hope that my thrumming might add zest to the wedding to-day." "What tune can you harp?" demanded the Bishop. "I can harp a tune so merry that a forlorn lover will forget he is jilted," said Robin.
If I'm quiet and well-behaved, Bridgie is after giving me a mixture, for, says she, `The choild's ill; there's not been a sound out of her this day!

Vaura fell into a reverie; after some moments, waking to herself, said: "I did not show you the interesting epistle I received from Mrs. Haughton, in which she says, 'society' hath it that Capt. Trevalyon rejoices in a 'hidden wife." "A pure invention got up to hurt him."
So the Sheriff lost no time in proclaiming a tourney, to be held that same Fall at the Fair. It was open to all comers, said the proclamation, and none should be molested in their going and coming. Furthermore, an arrow with a golden head and shaft of silver-white should be given to the winner, who would be heralded abroad as the finest archer in all the North Countree.
