I asked , and I remember I was proud beyond words . ' `` Knight 's fee , boy , knight 's fee ! '' said he , hopping round his horse on one foot . -LRB- Have I said he was little , and could not endure to be helped to his saddle ? -RRB- `` Six mounted men or twelve archers thou shalt send me whenever I call for them , and -- where got you that corn ? '' said he , for it was near harvest , and our corn stood well . `` I have never seen such bright straw . Send me three bags of the same seed yearly , and furthermore , in memory of our last meeting -- with the rope round thy neck -- entertain me and my men for two days of each year in the Great Hall of thy Manor . '' ' `` Alas ! '' said I , `` then my Manor is already forfeit . I am under vow not to enter the Great Hall . '' And I told him what I had sworn to the Lady Ælueva . ' ` And had n't you ever been into the house since ? ' said Una . ` Never , ' Sir Richard answered , smiling . ' I had made me a little hut of wood up the hill , and there I did justice and slept ... De Aquila wheeled aside , and his shield shook on his back . `` No matter , boy , '' said he . `` I will remit the homage for a year . '' ' ` He meant Sir Richard need n't give him dinner there the first year , ' Puck explained . ` De Aquila stayed with me in the hut , and Hugh , who could read and write and cast accounts , showed him the Roll of the Manor , in which were written all the names of our fields and men , and he asked a thousand questions touching the land , the timber , the grazing , the mill , and the fish-ponds , and the worth of every man in the valley .
But never he named the Lady Ælueva 's name , nor went he near the Great XXXXX .
