'"Good Dame', He Panted, 'Save Me'', 1932. 'The door stood open revealing an old woman within, bending over her distaff. "Good dame", [Robin] panted, "save me, I am pursued and sore pressed...the Bishop of Hereford with his men are close behind; if they catch me they will bring me to the gallows for sure". "Aye!", said the dame. "I know you now, good Robin...Now tell me where I can best hide you?" Robin looked round the humble cottage, and could see no possible place of concealment, so he begged the good woman to change clothes with him...'. From "Robin Hood and His Life in the Merry Greenwood", by Rose Yeatman Woolf, illustrated by Howard Davie. [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London, 1932]
