"Nor did I ever hear that the flintknappers, as we call them, harmed any." "Nor did I," said the old thane. "It is somewhat fresh to me. Maybe parties like ours have passed here so often during this last week that at last the sight of gold and jewels has roused them to try to take from a weak band." So we talked and went on as fast as we might, all the while keeping a lookout around us.
Early on the next morning Ethelbert the king sent for me, to ask me concerning this affair with the flintknappers. Very pleasant he was, too, and the first thing he did was to laugh at himself for taking me for a Frank. "I ought to have seen that you were a Saxon," he said; "and if I had had the courtesy to speak with you, I should have learned it at once.
"I thank you for that offer of a horse," he said. "I had twelve good men with me when we started across this moor, and you see all who are left. One after another they have been shot by unseen men as we rode, until these swarmed out on us as you saw." "Who are they?" I asked, rolling up my cloak to set it pillion-wise behind my saddle for the lady. "The flintknappers, I suppose," he said.
