From the book

A prompt from this edition.

Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.

Commonplace

The forester, full of ale, shoots first and misses Robin’s head by three inches. Robin turns and shoots back, crying, “Ye said I was no archer.” Was he defending himself, or proving a point? Underline the rest of his cry, and bracket what he says once he knows what he has done.

At the close of “How Robin Hood Came to Be an Outlaw”, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
