They passed a ferry, wound upward by a curving path, and then, having satisfied a guard of men-at-arms, were admitted through the frowning arch of the Pipewell Gate. There waiting for them, in the middle of the east street, the sun gleaming upon his lemon-colored beard, and puckering1 his single eye, stood Chandos himself, his legs apart, his hands behind his back, and a welcoming smile upon his quaint3 high-nosed face. Behind him a crowd of little boys were gazing with reverent4 eyes at the famous soldier.
 
“Welcome, Nigel!” said he, “and you also, good archer5! I chanced to be walking on the city wall, and I thought from the color of your horse that it was indeed you upon the Udimore Road. How have you fared, young squire6 errant? Have you held bridges or rescued damsels or slain7 oppressors on your way from Tilford?”
 
Nay8, my fair lord, I have accomplished9 nothing; but I once had hopes—” Nigel flushed at the remembrance.
 
“I will give you more than hopes, Nigel. I will put you where you can dip both arms to the elbow into danger and honor, where peril10 will sleep with you at night and rise with you in the morning and the very air you breathe be laden11 with it. Are you ready for that, young sir?”
 
“I can but pray, fair lord, that my spirit will rise to it.”
 
Chandos smiled his approval and laid his thin brown hand on the youth's shoulder. “Good!” said he. “It is the mute hound which bites the hardest. The babbler is ever the hang-back.
