"Ha, caitiff!" he exclaimed; and shortening the hunting-pole in his hand, he returned the stroke with interest, but the outlaw had already prepared himself to receive the blow on his staff. For some seconds there was a rapid exchange; and all that the boy could detect in the fierce flourish of weapons was, that his champion was at least equally matched.
Placing the head on a hunting-pole, Fenwolf withdrew to an open space among the trees, and, halloing to the others, they immediately cast off the hounds, who rushed towards him, leaping and baying at the stag's head, which he alternately raised and lowered until they were sufficiently excited, when he threw it on the ground before them.
They looked to the oriel, and saw me on the outside; the fanatic fellow took out a pistol as they have always such texts in readiness hanging beside the little clasped Bible, thou know'st the keeper seized his hunting-pole I treated them both to a roar and a grin thou must know I can grimace like a baboon I learned the trick from a French player, who could twist his jaws into a pair of nut-crackers and therewithal I dropped myself sweetly on the grass, and ran off so trippingly, keeping the dark side of the wall as long as I could, that I am wellnigh persuaded they thought I was their kinsman, the devil, come among them uncalled.

"Spare him! spare him!" cried the boy, leaping forwards. "I am the prey you seek!"
