`` Caesar and Charlemagne would cry for quarter . I have two score men at my whistle , and with one shoot of arrows I could answer for you all . '' `` Master Dick , '' said Bennet , `` it goes against my heart ; but I must do my duty . The saints help you ! '' And therewith he raised a little tucket to his mouth and wound a rousing call . Then followed a moment of confusion ; for while Dick , fearing for the ladies , still hesitated to give the word to shoot , Hatch 's little band sprang to their weapons and formed back to back as for a fierce resistance . In the hurry of their change of place , Joanna sprang from her seat and ran like an arrow to her lover 's side . `` Here , Dick ! '' she cried , as she clasped his hand in hers . But Dick still stood irresolute ; he was yet young to the more deplorable necessities of war , and the thought of old Lady Brackley checked the command upon his tongue . His own men became restive . Some of them cried on him by name ; others , of their own accord , began to shoot ; and at the first discharge poor Bennet bit the dust . Then Dick awoke . `` On ! '' he cried . `` Shoot , boys , and keep to cover . England and York ! '' But just then the dull beat of many horses on the snow suddenly arose in the hollow ear of the night , and , with incredible swiftness , drew nearer and swelled louder . At the same time , answering tuckets repeated and repeated Hatch 's call . `` Rally , rally ! ''
cried XXXXX .
