We've got to cross the fells to Wy'bern in the morning." "What are they, Brown?" "Musketeers, three of 'em, and ya sour fellow that limps of a leg; they call him Constable David." "Let them have the horses. It will save trouble to you." Then turning to Sim, Ralph added, "We must be stirring betimes to-morrow, old friend; the daybreak must see us on the road.
And under the slouched hat, a pair of sunken eyes looked out, expressing the very uttermost of human despair. "Brand! where have you been?" "Don't touch me, sir! I'll go don't touch me! There ha' been hunnerds after me latin me on t' fells. They've not catcht me an' they'd not ha' catcht me noo but I'm wore oot. I ha' been followin yo' this half-hour, Muster Boden.
In Ireland is no serpent, no frogs, nor venomous addercop; but all the land is so contrary to venemous beasts that if the earth of that land be brought into another land, and spronge on the ground, it slayeth serpents and toads. Also venomous beasts flee Irish wool, skins, and fells. And if serpents or toads be brought into Ireland by shipping, they die anon.
The fields are bare and close shaven by the flocks which feed on them; the walls run either perpendicularly in many places up the fells or horizontally along them, so that, save for the wooded course of the tumbling river and the bush-grown hedges of the road, the whole valley looks like a green map divided by regular lines of grayish black.
To the south the giant fells of Arran, shrouded in snow, stood out white and distinct against a steel-blue sky, with the wan moon above them. But the ground that Aasta trod was bare and hard, and the drifted snow lay only in the deeper hollows crisp as ice. She crossed the Great Plain beside the Seat of Law, until she came to the wooded shores of Loch Ascog.
This midway stream was called the Wildlake, and the way along it Wildlake's Way, because it came to them out of the wood, which on that north side stretched away from nigh to the lip of the valley- wall up to the pine woods and the high fells on the east and north, and down to the plain country on the west and south.
Art satisfied with that?" he asked, almost sternly. "I will convey your message," said Erling. "And the sooner the better," said the King. "By the way, there are two roads leading to the Springs, I am told; is it so?" he added. "There are," said Erling; "one goes by the uplands over the fells, the other through the forest." "Which would you recommend me to follow when I fare to the Springs?"
The sides of some of the little becks running down into the main river and many of the plantations round the farms were gay with the same tree, so that the farmhouses, gray-roofed and gray-walled, standing in the hollows of the fells, seemed here and there to have been robbed of all their natural austerity of aspect, and to be masquerading in a dainty garb of white and green imposed upon them by the caprice of the spring.
'In sooth, I myself do not know whither he is gone, only that he is with friends. 'But who what were they? They looked like outlaws! 'So they were; many a good fellow is of Robin of Redesdale's train. There are scores of them haunting the fells and woods, all Red Rose men, keeping a watch on the King, replied Simon.
Desiring to cut himself off as completely as possible from his usual environment, he left no address at his lodgings, but told his servant that when he wanted his letters he would telegraph for them from the place, whatever it might be, where he was halting. He kept steadily to his plan, wandering over hill and dale, by lake and river, and steeping his soul in "the cheerful silence of the fells."
