BYLES. a bright clear day, in the good old times of romance and chivalry, it chanced that there rode through the greenwood that noble knight Sir Geoffreyde Tours. He rode with his head bowed upon his breast, as if he were wearied unto death ; and his erstwhile prancing and curvetting charger had lost his effervescent spirits and ambled along like any lady's palfrey. For it was getting on towards the end of the damosel season, and man and horse were stale-stale as an over-trained oarsman . Distressed damosels had been more than usually plenti that year ; it was a rare thing to go into a wood ful without finding one tied to a tree : the fa ct that this unknigh tly deed had been done presupposed the prox imity of a caitiff, whether amateur or professional, and etiquette did not allow noble knight merely to untie the mos l and see hera ho me-he was bound to exter a e minated the caitiff.
