Robin Hood and the Silver Arrow [antikvár]

THE BEGGAR SPY The forest clearing lay still and quiet in the warm summer sunshine. Nothing moved. It was as if all the wild things there |were holding their breath waiting for something to happen. Even the leaves of the great oaks and^ beeches of Sherwood Forest seemed barely to rustle in the soft breeze. Suddenly the figure of a small man ran from the forest into the open. He paused for a moment to look back the way he had come. Then he raced across the clearing to the nearer of the two long grassy mbilnds which stood side by side at one end. He climbed quickly to the top and looked^back once more before disappearing from sight as though into the ground itself.
