This RobinHood! and under the Sheriff's very roof!

"Then Little John, or Reynold Greenleaf, I like you well, on my honor as Much the miller's son; and you too, bold RobinHood. An you take me, I will enter your service right gladly."

Lucky for you twain that wine flowed so freely in the house to-day; else the noise of your combat would have brought other onlookers besides RobinHood. Now if ye would flee the house to-night, I will join you in the good greenwood to-morrow."

View in context

THE consulting-rooms of Dr OrionHood, the eminent criminologist and specialist in certain moral disorders, lay along the sea-front at Scarborough, in a series of very large and well-lighted french windows, which showed the North Sea like one endless outer wall of blue-green marble.

DrHood paced the length of his string of apartments, bounded-- as the boys' geographies say--on the east by the North Sea and on the west by the serried ranks of his sociological and criminologist library.

I am DrHood, and my work is almost entirely literary and educational.

View in context

IN MERRY ENGLAND in the time of old, when good King Henry the Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham Town, a famous outlaw whose name was RobinHood. No archer ever lived that could speed a gray goose shaft with such skill and cunning as his, nor were there ever such yeomen as the sevenscore merry men that roamed with him through the greenwood shades.

And now I will tell how it came about that RobinHood fell afoul of the law.

View in context

The young knight sighed, therefore, and held his peace; while Richard, rejoiced at having silenced his counsellor, though his heart acknowledged the justice of the charge he had brought against him, went on in conversation with RobinHood. ``King of Outlaws,'' he said, ``have you no refreshment to offer to your brother sovereign?

``If your Grace, then,'' said Robin, ``will again honour with your presence one of RobinHood's places of rendezvous, the venison shall not be lacking; and a stoup of ale, and it may be a cup of reasonably good wine, to relish it withal.''

View in context

The Sad Shepherd is a tale of RobinHood. Here once more we find an old story being used again, for we have already heard of RobinHood in the ballads.

RobinHood has left Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, Little John, and all his merry men to hunt the deer and make ready the feast.
