Nothing could be gained there, and while Father Shoveller rubbed his bald head in consideration, Stephen rose to take leave. "Look you here, my fair son," said the monk.

The hospitality of the monasteries was unbounded, and the monk at once led them into the kitchen, where bread, meat, and wine were placed before them.
'Five minutes' good fighting, and no one killed! This is a shame! quoth another. 'Blood we must see, and it had better be yours, master monk, than your betters', and therewith he rushed on poor Philammon.

By the end of his sixth week Farnie was reduced to a single pound, a sum which, for one of his tastes, was practically poverty.
