Don't you see that she knows nothing of it that the very report of such a thing is alarming her into illness? But allow me to inquire what it may be that Locksley said?" "I met him at the gate," retorted Justice Hare, turning his attention upon Mr. Carlyle. "He was going by as I reached it. 'Oh, justice, I am glad I met you. That's a nasty report in the place that Richard has been here.
"You have not allowed for the wind, Hubert," said his antagonist, bending his bow, "or that had been a better shot." So saying, and without showing the least anxiety to pause upon his aim, Locksley stept to the appointed station, and shot his arrow as carelessly in appearance as if he had not even looked at the mark.
'I have encountered no one, he said, 'and I don't believe anybody's about but ourselves and Locksley. I quitted him, and came off," concluded Richard Hare. "He evidently had not seen Thorn, and knew nothing." "And you decamped the same night, Richard; it was a fatal step." "Yes, I was a fool. I thought I'd wait quiet, and see how things turned out; but you don't know all.
Verily, life in an Independent Malay State, like adversity, makes one acquainted with strange bed-fellows. Woman is the lesser man, and all her passions matched with mine, Are as moonlight unto sunlight, and as water unto wine. Locksley Hall. This is a true story.
There is nonsense, there is affectation in that, Laura, there is scarcely poetry, but there is power, for there is truth. 'Of Locksley Hall! I thought you were at Stylehurst.

"And for thief," said the priest, "I doubt if ever he were even half so honest a man as many a thief of my acquaintance."
I might as well shoot at the edge of our parson's whittle, or at a wheat straw, or at a sunbeam, as at a twinkling white streak which I can hardly see." "Cowardly dog!" said Prince John. "Sirrah Locksley, do thou shoot; but, if thou hittest such a mark, I will say thou art the first man ever did so. However it be, thou shalt not crow over us with a mere show of superior skill."
All saw the danger, and the boldest, even the stout Friar himself, avoided setting foot on the raft. Thrice did Locksley bend his shaft against De Bracy, and thrice did his arrow bound back from the knight's armour of proof. "Curse on thy Spanish steel-coat!" said Locksley, "had English smith forged it, these arrows had gone through, an as if it had been silk or sendal."
But, unfortunately, this latter element came in to an extent quite unforeseen and blighted the prophetic hopes. The second Locksley Hall was a wail of disillusionment.
"I will learn that presently," answered Locksley; "and I charge ye, on peril of your lives, not to stir from the place where ye stand, until I have returned. Obey me, and it shall be the better for you and your masters. Yet stay, I must render myself as like these men as possible."
