time,' said he, rising. 'Ohé, Swallow!'

The great horse cantered up from the far end of the meadow, close to
Mother.

They heard Mother say: 'Children, Gleason's old horse has broken into
the meadow again. Where did he get through?'

'Just below Stone Bay,' said Dan. 'He tore down simple flobs of the
bank! We noticed it just now. And we've caught no end of fish. We've
been at it all the afternoon.'

And they honestly believed that they had. They never noticed the Oak,
Ash and Thorn leaves that Puck had slyly thrown into their laps.



SIR RICHARD'S SONG


I followed my Duke ere I was a lover,
To take from England fief and fee;
But now this game is the other way over--
But now England hath taken me!

I had my horse, my shield and banner,
And a boy's heart, so whole and free;
But now I sing in another manner--
But now England hath taken me!
