But a minute later he called to us that this could not be: it was too narrow, a mere lane in fact; and with that, as we pressed up to the gate, the mischief happened.
Shackell! I called softly, overtaking them. At the sound of my voice, they came near to letting out a cry that had spoilt all. 'How many be they? I asked as we rode. 'Twenty-two, answered Randles, chafing his wrists, 'and all drunk as lords. 'If we had arms, said Carey, 'we might drive the whole lot. 'But since you have not, said I, 'we must pitch our attempt lower.
