He took fright, the foolish lad, at something or other which our Baron did in his moody humour, and so he jumped into the lake and swam ashore like a wild-duck. Robin of Redcastle spoiled a good gelding in chasing him this morning." "And why did he chase the youth?" said the Sub-Prior; "what harm had he done?"
