Note 85 — 119 ROBIN HOOD AND THE MONK
Reading edition
The gap at 302 occurs between two pages, and is peculiarly regrettable. The former reading of “Robyns men” in 301 made matters much worse, since there was no way of accounting for the appearance of his men at this point. We must suppose that some one of Robin’s many friends carries the news of his capture to his band, and not simply that; with this there must have come information that their leader was to be held to await knowledge of the king’s pleasure, otherwise delay would be dangerous, and summary measures for his deliverance be required.
