Hello again. Here is the next chapter, so ENJOY!

Three men strolled along the road, laughing at something one of them said. When they reached the edge of a small village, one of the men, the one that looked like the leader of the group, walked up to one of the shopkeepers and asked,

"Excuse me, sir, but you would not happen to know if a women named Jane lived in this area, do you?"

The shopkeeper stopped sweeping and looked at the men suspiciously. "I might, but what reason do you have for seeing her?"

The leader laughed. "Well, you see sir, she is the wife of my dear friend here, and since it has been 5 years since he has seen her he would very much like to know where she lives."

The shop keeper looked behind the leader at a man with black hair and a small mustache. The shopkeeper turned back to the leader. "Well, the only husband of Jane that I know of died 5 years ago in the East. If your friend be him, then he had better start explaining how he is alive."

The leader looked shocked for a second. "Wait, you mean everyone thinks that we are dead?"

The shopkeeper nodded. "If you be the three men who left to fight, then yes, we thought you were all dead. After no word came from you of course your wives moved on."

The third man, who was the biggest of all of them, stepped forward. "Do you know what happened to my wife then? Her name is Helen. She used to live at the small farm next to the woods near here before she married me."

The shopkeeper thought for a moment then nodded. "Yes, I know who she is. I believe that moved back to that small farm and now she takes in laundry to keep food on the table. I hear that her two children help her out all they can, but she still has to ask her friend Jane", the shopkeeper nodded at the man with black hair, "Whom I believe is your wife, to help her. But other then that, I don't think anything has happened to her over the past couple of years."

The large man gave a sigh of relief and explained, "That is wonderful to hear! I was worried that she might have gotten remarried. I should go see her then, if she will see me, that is."

The leader patted the large man on the back. "Don't worry, Helen will still love you, even if she might be a little surprised at seeing you. You go and find her and we will meet with you this evening, hopefully all with our wives and children."

The large man nodded and then started heading up the road again.

The man with black hair turned to the shopkeeper. "Do you know where my wife is?"

The shopkeeper nodded. "She is either with your friend's wife or she is at the castle of Lord Edward. She works there as a maid to Lord Edward's soon-to-be wife."

The man with black hair thanked the shopkeeper and then headed off after his large friend, leaving the leader with the shopkeeper.

"Now, sir, would you happen to know what has become of my wife, Maid Marian? When I last saw her she was living at our home in Sherwood forest, but if she has moved away do you know where?"

The shopkeeper dropped his broom. "Maid Marian if your wife?!"

The leader nodded.

The shopkeeper swallowed and said, "Well, then sir, I have some sorry news for you. She is the soon-to-be wife of Lord Edward."

The leader's eyes widened then fell. "So that means she has moved on. Well, I guess I wish them both luck."

The man turned and began to follow his friends, but the shopkeeper stopped him. "Oh, sir, you misunderstand me, she doesn't love him, I heard from Helen, your friend's wife, that she is just marrying Lord Edward so her daughter will have a home. No one thinks that she loves him in the slightest."

The leader's eyes brightened up. "Sir, you have just made me the happiest man alive. Tell me, when is the wedding to take place?"

"Next month sir. They are having a banquet to celebrate the engagement tomorrow night, but only people who are invited can come."

The leader smiled. "Oh, I always have my own way of getting into banquets, don't you worry. I thank you, kind sir, I believe that you may have helped me to get my life back in order. Good day." And with that, the manbegan to head off in the direction of his friends.

The shopkeeper shouted after him, "Wait, sir, what is your name?"

The man turned and grinned. "Why, Robin Hood, of course."
