"Marian, what are you doing up there?"
Robin's exclamation nearly made her lose her footing. Drawing herself up to her full three-foot, eight-inch height, Marian declared, "You are not the only one who can do a flip from a roof, Robin of Locksley."
"I hired an instructor! If you want, I will teach you, but we start on the ground. Now, get down from there! Or, shall I tell your father...?"
"NO!" She did slip then; fortunately, Robin was quick. As he set her down, she pouted at him before regally allowing, "Very well. We may start on the ground."
