Yonder I saw a young hart all in green from top to toe, and about him was a herd of threescore deer, and they, too, were all of green from head to foot. Yet I dared not shoot, good master, for fear lest they should slay me." "Why, how now, Reynold Greenleaf," cried the Sheriff, "art thou dreaming or art thou mad, that thou dost bring me such, a tale?"
Then the warriors rested a space and patted their stomachs, and smiled across at each other like bosom friends; for a man when he as dined looks out pleasantly upon the world. "And now good Reynold Greenleaf," said the cook, "we may as well settle this brave fight we have in hand."
Instead of quoting an entire chapter from the volume, we are enabled to transfer to our pages a few of its epigrammatic illustrations. First, is what Mr. Reynold calls l'auteur sifflè, but this, for the sake of comprehensiveness, we style the damned author. Mr.
I lived down the remorse. And it was fortunate for me I had a child; otherwise all but a little money would have gone to the Reynold Dorans. You've been good to me, Max, and I've liked you very well.

He hath broken in upon our master's goods, and hath smitten me a buffet upon the ear, so that I thought I was dead.
Then said Sir Reynold, "Sir knight, thou art a strong man, and, I believe, hast slain my two brothers, wherefore my heart is sore against thee; yet, if I might with honour, I would avoid thee. Nevertheless, that cannot be, so keep thyself." And so they hurtled together with all their might, and each man shivered his spear to pieces; and then they drew their swords and lashed out eagerly.

But who might this tall slasher be?" "Men do call me Little John, good fellow." "Then Little John, or Reynold Greenleaf, I like you well, on my honor as Much the miller's son; and you too, bold Robin Hood.
"I haven't thought about it much," she replied slowly. "I'm not sure that I know what it means. At least it hasn't anything to do with marriage " "Ah!" he interrupted her. Her usually orderly mind grew confused; it eddied as though with the sound of the piano. "It is not marriage," she vaguely repeated her mother's instruction. Reynold Chase supported her. "That destroys it," he asserted.
