In Their Own Words
"'They should be here now, Sir Richard,' said Puck's deep voice among the willow-herb."
"'They are here,' the knight said, and he smiled at Dan with the string of trouts in his hand. 'There seems no great change in boys since mine fished this water.'"
"'I followed my Duke ere I was a lover, To take from England fief and fee; But now this game is the other way over-- But now England hath taken me!'"
