Read Cedric, the Forester Storyline:
Excerpt from Cedric, the ForesterNow he raised himself on his arm and claimed the victory; Two huge stones, hurled by Alan the Armorer, came down on the heads of the luckless churls in the moat; Dame Franklin and the old soldier were frozen in their places; The force of my blow drove him backward, but my weapon pierced him not; We had gone scarce half a mile when \'twas plainly to be seen that my little mare was no match for the long-limbed steeds of the Carletons; When I spoke my mother had grown pale as death; Then Elbert did come to the mark and, with a merry grin, sent five arrows toward the target; We made a procession through the field, all the men and maidens shouting and dancing and making a most merry and heartening din; He gave no inch of ground save to leap from side to side in avoiding my downward strokes; In a twinkling armed and mounted men were all about us; Old Marvin had his cross-bow ready drawn, and he shot young Montalvan through the face at the very first onset.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
