OW after all these things had happened, and it became known to Robin Hood how the Sheriff had tried three times to make him captive, he said to himself : ‘ If I have the chance, I will make our worshipful Sheriff pay right well for that which he hath done to me. Maybe I may bring him some time into Sherwood Forest, and have him to a right merry feast with us.’ For when Robin Hood caught a baron or a squire, or a fat abbot or bishop, he brought them to the greenwood tree and feasted them before he lightened their purses. But in the mean time Robin Hood and his band lived quietly in Sherwood Forest, without showing their faces abroad, for Robin knew that /fmo Robin aiii/ it would not be wise for him to be seen in the neighborhood of his Band dwelt…

Then they had bouts of wrestling and of cudgel play, so that every day they gained in skill and strength.

Visit us online at www. 1stWorldLibrary. ORG The year 1400 opened with more than usual peacefulness in England. Only a few months before, Richard II weak, wicked, and treacherous had been dethroned, and Henry IV declared King in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting but for a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful man as justice and mercy went with the Men of Iron of those days and though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the coming in of the new King. Among these were a number of great lords the Dukes of Albemarle, Surrey, and Exeter, the Marquis of Dorset, the Earl of Gloucester, and others who had been degraded to their former titles and estates, from which King Richard had lifted them. These and others brewed a secret plot to take King Henry’s life, which plot might have succeeded had not one of their own number betrayed them.

Pepper and Salt

THE SKILLFUL HUNTSMAN

Once upon a time there was a lad named Jacob Boehm, who was a practical
huntsman.

One day Jacob said to his mother, ‘Mother, I would like to marry
Gretchen the nice, pretty little daughter of the Herr Mayor.’

Jacob’s mother thought that he was crazy. ‘Marry the daughter of the
Herr Mayor, indeed! You want to marry the daughter of the Herr Mayor?
Listen; many a man wants and wants, and nothing comes of it!’

That was what Jacob Boehm’s mother said to him.

But Jacob was deaf in that ear; nothing would do but his mother must go
to the Herr Mayor, and ask for leave for him to marry Gretchen. And
Jacob begged and begged so prettily that at last his mother promised to
go and do as he wished. So off she went, though doubt was heavy in her
shoes, for she did not know how the Herr Mayor would take it.

‘So Jacob wants to marry Gretchen, does he?’ said the Herr Mayor.

Yes; that was what Jacob wanted.

‘And is he a practical huntsman?’ said the Herr Mayor.

Oh yes, he was that.

‘So good,’ said the Herr Mayor. ‘Then tell Jacob that when he is such a
clever huntsman as to be able to shoot the whiskers off from a running
hare without touching the skin, then he can have Gretchen.’

Then Jacob’s mother went back home again. ‘Now,’ said she, ‘Jacob will,
at least, be satisfied.’

‘Yes,’ said Jacob, when she had told him all that the Herr Mayor had
said to her, ‘that is a hard thing to do; but what one man has done,
another man can.’ So he shouldered his gun, and started away into the
world to learn to be as clever a huntsman as the Herr Mayor had said.

He plodded on and on until at last he fell in with a tall stranger
dressed all in red.

‘Where are you going, Jacob?’ said the tall stranger, calling him by his
name, just as if he had eaten pottage out of the same dish with him.

Howard Pyle’s Book of Pirates

But with Blackbeard” it is different, for in him we have a real, ranting, raging, roaring pirate per se one who really did bury treasure, who made more than one captain walk the plank, and who committed more private murders than he could number on the fingers of both hands; one who fills, and will continue to fill, the place to which he has been assigned for generations, and who may be depended upon to hold his place in the confidence of others for generations to come.
