"Oho, brother, good brother!" cried he joyfully, clapping hand on Jocelyn'sbroad shoulder, "come away, now, and see what the good wind hath blownhither--come thy ways and see!" So came they where rose a great tree of huge girth, whose gnarled branchesspread far and wide, a veryforest of leaves, beneath whose shade were manyof the outlaws grouped about one who crouched miserably on his knees, hisarms fast bound and a halter about his neck; and, as obedient to Robin'swords the fierce company fell... back, Jocelyn saw this torn and pallidcaptive was none other than Ranulph the Hangman.
"Woe's me, my masters!" quoth he 'twixt chattering teeth. "'Tis pity poorRanulph must die before his time, for ne'er shall be found hangman, headsman or torturer the like o' Ranulph--so dainty i' the nice adjustmento' noose! So clean and delicate wi' the axe! So tender and thoughtful wi'pincers, thumbscrew, rack or red-hot iron! A hangman so kindly o' soul, somerry o' heart, alack, so free, so gay, so merry--forsooth a very wanton, waggish, jovial bawcock-lad--" "Why, then, good, merry wag, " laughed Robin, "now shalt thou cut us anantic aloft in air, shalt caper and dance in noose to our joyance!
