From now on, the old man devoted1 himself to the training of the boy in the handling of his lance and battle-axe, but each day also, a period was allotted2 to the sword, until, by the time the youth had turned sixteen, even the old man himself was as but a novice3 by comparison with the marvelous skill of his pupil.
During these days, the boy rode Sir Mortimer abroad in many directions until he knew every bypath within a radius4 of fifty miles of Torn. Sometimes the old man accompanied him, but more often he rode alone.
On one occasion, he chanced upon a hut at the outskirts5 of a small hamlet not far from Torn and, with the curiosity of boyhood, determined6 to enter and have speech with the inmates7, for by this time the natural desire for companionship was commencing to assert itself. In all his life, he remembered only the company of the old man, who never spoke8 except when necessity required.
The hut was occupied by an old priest, and as the boy in armor pushed in, without the usual formality of knocking, the old man looked up with an expression of annoyance9 and disapproval10.
“What now,” he said, “have the King's men respect neither for piety11 nor age that they burst in upon the seclusion12 of a holy man without so much as a 'by your leave'?”
