CHAPTER 3

On their way back home George and Will saw Robin's bow and quiver. They both had ideas for Robin's future, but Will spoke first. "Are you gonna try to be a soldier when you graduate pilgrim school?" he asked. "You betcha," answered Robin "Are you a good archer?" "Yes" "Good Shwash- blah Swashbuckler?" "Yes" "Quarter-staff, single stick, and wrestling?" "No, are they important?" "Yes, very." "Why?" "If you lose your weapon." "Then I'll stay here and you two can teach me."
So that was it. Robin stayed in Gamewell. But what happens next surprised everyone. You may not know it, but Robin has a 22-year-old cousin named Geoffrey the outlaw. He was involved in Prince John's rebellion, only because he was forced to.
Within the week, Geoffrey appeared in Robin's chamber. "AAAAAAAAAAAAugh!" Cried Will. "THE YALLER LADY! WE ARE GOING TO DIE!" "Yellow Will? Are you colorblind?"
"It is I, your cousin, GEOFFERY!!! It is you for whom I come. I wish to be in the joustings. I will be disguised as the scarlet knight. But I need 2 partners. With your knowledge of fencing/shwash- blah swashbuckling and Will's knowledge of quarter staff, you-two will be perfect."
"I will accept your offer," said Robin, "Besides," said he "I am already taking part in the archery tournament."
So the clerk got their disguises, had some fried dough, got their weapons, had some fried dough, readied their horses, and had some fried dough.
