&039;That&039;s enough frohty put out &039;Honour be blowed! If I get back even the miller&039;s company will be welco you both for a bit&039; And with that he left the as you can to your neighbours; so laet up on his grey o The parson saw hi some stout rope with you?&039; he said

&039;What for?&039; said Giles &039;To hang idius!&039; said the parson &039;It seems to me that you have a luck that you can trust But take also a long rope, for you ht deceives me And now farewell, and return safely!&039;

&039;Aye! And coons!&039; said Giles Then, stuffing a great coil of rope in a bag by his saddle, he cli, who had kept well out of sight all the one, Garht, and was beaten for it, and went on howling

&039;Help, ow help!&039; he cried &039;I&039;ll never see dear ain, and he was so terrible and splendid I wish I had gone with him, I do&039;

&039;Shut up!&039; said the farmer&039;s wife, &039;or you&039;ll never live to see if he comes back or he don&039;t&039;

The blacksmith heard the howls &039;A bad omen,&039; he said cheerfully

Many days passed and no news came &039;No news is bad news,&039; he said, and burst into song

When Farhts, in polishedhel by their horses The King&039;s summons and the inclusion of the far orders literally, setting off the moment that Giles arrived The poor farht of wine before he was off on the road again Thewas luckily unexpressed, as it was highly disloyal

It was already late in the day &039;Too late in the day to start a dragon-hunt,&039; thought Giles But they did not go far The knights were in no hurry, once they had started

They rode along at their leisure, in a straggling line, knights, esquires, servants, and ponies trussed with baggage; and Far came, they halted and pitched their tents No provision had been made for Farmer Giles and he lead to borrohat he could The iance to the house of Augustus Bonifacius

The next day they rode on, and all the day after On the third day they descried in the distance the diions where the lordship of Augustus Bonifacius was not universally acknowledged They rode then with ether

On the fourth day they reached the Wild Hills and the borders of the dubious lands where legendary creatures were reputed to dwell Suddenly, one of those riding ahead came upon ominous footprints in the sand by a stream They called for the faridius?&039; they said

&039;Dragon-marks,&039; said he

&039;Lead on&039; said they

So now they rode ith Far on his leather coat That , and a ain they took up the refrain of the song and sang it all together, very loud and strong It was encouraging, for the song was good �C it had beenbefore days when battles werewas non to all the creatures of that land, and the dragons were cocking their ears in all the caves of the West There was no longer any chance of their catching old Chrysophylax napping

As luck (or the grey mare herself) would have it, when at last they drew under the very shadow of the dark mountains, Farun to ride along steep and stony paths, cli disquiet Bit by bit she dropped back in the line, stu so patient and sad that at last Faret off and walk Soon they found the the pack-ponies; but no one took any notice of the points of precedence and etiquette, and their attention was distracted Otherwise they would have observed that dragonmarks were now obvious and numerous
