` Where Weland landed ? ' ` Weland and a few others , ' said Puck . ` Pevensey is n't young -- even compared to me ! ' ` The headquarters of the Thirtieth lay at Anderida in summer , but my own Cohort , the Seventh , was on the Wall up North . Maximus was inspecting Auxiliaries -- the Abulci , I think -- at Anderida , and we stayed with him , for he and my Father were very old friends . I was only there ten days when I was ordered to go up with thirty men to my Cohort . ' He laughed merrily . ' A man never forgets his first march . I was happier than any Emperor when I led my handful through the North Gate of the Camp , and we saluted the guard and the Altar of Victory there . ' ` How ? How ? ' said Dan and Una . Parnesius smiled , and stood up , flashing in his armour . ` So ! ' said he ; and he moved slowly through the beautiful movements of the Roman Salute , that ends with a hollow clang of the shield coming into its place between the shoulders . ` Hai ! ' said Puck . ` That sets one thinking ! ' ` We went out fully armed , ' said Parnesius , sitting down ; ` but as soon as the road entered the Great Forest , my men expected the pack-horses to hang their shields on . `` No ! ''
I said ; `` you can dress like women in XXXXX , but while you 're with me you will carry your own weapons and armour . '' '
