Excerpt from Loyal Hearts and True: A Tale of the Days of Queen Elizabeth "Now hold up, lad, and pluck up the heart of grace. An we be not let on our way with any farther molestation from these light-heeled gentlemen of the road, we must reach a halting-place erelong. I would it were I, not you, who had felt their cold steel, but once let us see ourselves free from this wood, and it will fare ill if we find not a hostelry where we can get rest and shelter for the night. The road is something better now. Canst make shift to push on faster? It would be safer to be clear of the forest before the sun sets." The speaker was a tall, spare man of some seven or eight and twenty summers, whose thin brown face, keen eyes, and quick, watchful movements seemed to indicate that he had been brought up to the profession of arms, and that he had seen service under hotter suns than those of his native England.
