Robyn was very surlie, for he had gotten two blacke eyen, and his nose was swollen and red like to ye haws which are sent for birdes food in winter. I was much afeared of the manne, thinkynge he might doe me some mischief for a revenge for ye blowe I had placed upon hys nose, but we dyd shake hands and were friendly, and being Christmas Morne, he woulde have me goe into his cave chambre and pray for him, which I dyd. Althoughe an outlawe hys menne doe say he is of pious mind, praying to ye Blessed Virgin at alle seasons, especially in tyme of gret peril. When we had our prayers sayd, Lytell John dyd roar out with gret pain, saying that his tooth dyd ache sore, and so it dyd prove, for no manne dare go near him, so greatly dyd he rage. Then he cryd for some one to pull it from his jawe for hym, but no manne dyd offer, tyll home came Wayland, who had of olde tyme been a smyth, and used to the handling of implements. Lytell John dyd throw himself upon ye plancher in ye barne, and foure of the strongest men dyd houlde him dowen. Then dyd Wayland bring forthe hys tools, which he kept in a leathern poke, for many a jobbe dyd he for the companie. Lytell John’s eyen dyd roule muche when he dyd see the iron pincers, which Wayland dyd bring forthe from the poke, but they being made for horse shoeing were too large for his mouthe, and woulde not worke therein, although it was a large one. Then Wayland founde him a smaller pair, and with them went to worke agen, upon which Lytell John dyd roar and struggle mightilie, but they who held him being strong men he coulde not get free. Wayland dyd again try, but being used to rough work dyd not set to worke skilfullie, whereupon Will Scadlocke, who had now returned with two hares whych he had shotte, dyd attempt to get out the aching tooth, and with such address dyd he set to worke, that in but a few minutes he dyd drawe it forth triumphantlie. Then they dyd waken Lytell John, who had fallen into a kind of trance (in whych he did groan), by rubbinge his face with snow and putting ice on ye nape of hys necke. Soone came home ye merrie menne, some with doe meat and some with a gret dere they had slain; while Peter the falconer dyd add toe the store, two ducks and a fine guse, at which there was great rejoicynge. Three menne still were to come home, and their comrades dyd look for them anxiously, fearing they had been taken by ye menne of Murdach, Sheriff of Nottingham, but in tyme they came back bringing three gret pikes, which they had snared in the river, beside gret store of perch, which they had netted without asking leve of anney manne. Guards were sette to the right and left of the campe, and fires y’made, at which were dressed gret diversitie of dishes, and atte duske the feaste was spread in ye barne. It was a feaste that woulde have graced the Refectory of Crowlande Abbey, albeit it was served uppe in a somewhat rough manner.
