Be ready ; and when the chance shall come , off with her at the saddle-bow . '' `` Ay , but , Lawless , beyond doubt she is now in Sir Daniel 's own mansion . '' answered Dick . `` Thither , then , go we , '' replied the outlaw . Dick stared at him . `` Nay , I mean it , '' nodded Lawless . `` And if y ' are of so little faith , and stumble at a word , see here ! '' And the outlaw , taking a key from about his neck , opened the oak chest , and dipping and groping deep among its contents , produced first a friar 's robe , and next a girdle of rope ; and then a huge rosary of wood , heavy enough to be counted as a weapon . `` Here , '' he said , `` is for you . On with them ! '' And then , when Dick had clothed himself in this clerical disguise , Lawless produced some colours and a pencil , and proceeded , with the greatest cunning , to disguise his face . The eyebrows he thickened and produced ; to the moustache , which was yet hardly visible , he rendered a like service ; while , by a few lines around the eye , he changed the expression and increased the apparent age of this young monk . `` Now , '' he resumed , `` when I have done the like , we shall make as bonny a pair of friars as the eye could wish . Boldly to Sir Daniel 's we shall go , and there be hospitably welcome for the love of Mother Church . '' `` And how , dear Lawless , '' cried the lad , `` shall I repay you ? '' `` Tut , brother , '' replied the outlaw , `` I do naught but for my pleasure . Mind not for me . I am one , by the mass , that mindeth for himself . When that I lack , I have a long tongue and a voice like the monastery bell -- I do ask , my son ; and where asking faileth , I do most usually take . '' The old rogue made a humorous grimace ; and although Dick was displeased to lie under so great favours to so equivocal a personage , he was yet unable to restrain his mirth .
With that , XXXXX returned to the big chest , and was soon similarly disguised ; but , below his gown , Dick wondered to observe him conceal a sheaf of black arrows .
