Sir
Richard Pays the Abbot
Chapter: 7
At twelve o'clock the next day,
the Abbot of St Mary's was in his great dining room. On the table there were
bags of gold. He went to the window and looked out. ‘Sir Richard of Lee is here
at the right time, I see,’ he thought. ‘But his clothes are poor, and his horse
is old. Good! I think my friend, the sheriff, is right. Sir Richard cannot pay
my one thousand, one hundred pounds. So this evening, I will be Lord of his
house and his lands!’ A few minutes later, Sir Richard and Little John came
into the room. ‘Well,’ said the abbot, 'you are here at the right time. Do you have
my money ?’
‘My Lord Abbot,’ Sir Richard
began, ‘you are a church man. I hope you will be kind. Next year ...’
‘Stop!’ shouted the abbot. ‘Do
not ask for more time! I want my money now Pay me the one thousand, one hundred
pounds, or your house and lands will be mine this evening!’ Sir Richard then
put six bags of gold on the abbot's table. ‘Here are six hundred pounds, My
Lord,’ he said quietly. ‘There is one hundred in each bag. It is a lot of money for
me. Next year
I hope
...’
‘Not next year, or next month, or
next week!’ shouted the abbot again. ‘I want all my money today! Do you have my
gold -yes or no?’
Then
Little John put five more bags on the table. ‘Here you are, My Lord,’ he said. ‘Five
hundred more pounds. This
good
man and his family will sleep in their home tonight.’ The abbot looked
at the money, then he looked at Little John. The abbot's face was very red. He
opened his mouth and then closed it again. What could he say? Later, in the forest,
Little John told the story to Robin Hood and the other men. ‘The abbot's
face was wonderful,’ said Little John. ‘He was angry, but he had to take the
money’
They
laughed for a long time, but then Robin said, ‘This was a fine adventure. But
the abbot will tell the sheriff, and the sheriff will also be angry. They are
dangerous men. Sir Richard has to be careful.’
