'She had been at home, she said, 'and had strolled out at the back door, to the path that led from West Lynne, and was lingering there when she heard a shot. Five minutes afterward she returned to the house, and found Locksley standing over her dead father." Mr. Carlyle remained silent, rapidly running over in his mind the chief points of Richard Hare's communication.
Sir Ralph, on reaching the abbey, drew his followers together, and led them to Locksley Castle, which he found in the possession of his lieutenant; whom he again left there with a sufficient force to hold it in safe keeping in the king's name, and proceeded to London to report the results of his enterprise. Hereupon ensued a process of thought in the mind of the knight.
Locksley Hall Sixty Years After shows that he was keenly alive to the social movements of the time. Tennyson said that the scenes in his poems were so vividly conceived that he could have drawn them if he had been an artist. A twentieth century critic says that Tennyson is almost the inventor of such pictorial lyrics as A Dream of Fair Women and The Palace of Art.
The first "Locksley Hall" is likewise a soliloquy, but in the second "Locksley Hall" and "To-Morrow," where scraps of talk from the unseen interlocutor are caught up and repeated by the speaker in passionate rebuttal, we have true drama of the "confrontation" type. We see a whole soul in action.
The poet has only chosen and rearranged such of their incidents as would suit his purpose using those old ballads with perfect freedom, but also using them with faultless taste. Robin Hood was born at Locksley, in the county of Nottingham, about 1160, when Henry the Second was king.
Locksley Hall, again "every door is barred with gold, and opens but to golden keys." 'I wish there was anything to be done, said Laura. 'It is my profession that is the bar to everything. I have sold the best years of my life, and for what? To see my sister degrade herself by that marriage. 'That is the real grief, said Laura.
The place of rendezvous was an aged oak; not however the same to which Locksley had conducted Gurth and Wamba in the earlier part of the story, but one which was the centre of a silvan amphitheatre, within half a mile of the demolished castle of Torquilstone.
Reist nor Amanda, as yet, had read Locksley Hall, but the truth expressed there was echoing in their souls: "Gone forever! Ever? no for since our dying race began, Ever, ever, and forever was the leading light of man. Indian warriors dream of ampler hunting grounds beyond the night; Even the black Australian dying hopes he shall return, a white. Truth for truth, and good for good!
"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.
The friar was now completely accoutred as a yeoman, with sword and buckler, bow, and quiver, and a strong partisan over his shoulder. He left his cell at the head of the party, and, having carefully locked the door, deposited the key under the threshold. "Art thou in condition to do good service, friar," said Locksley, "or does the brown bowl still run in thy head?"
