Did you see the signing of the Law at Runnymede ? ' said Puck , as Kadmiel laughed noiselessly . ` Nay . Who am I to meddle with things too high for me ? I returned to Bury , and lent money on the autumn crops . Why not ? ' There was a crackle overhead . A cock-pheasant that had sheered aside after being hit spattered down almost on top of them , driving up the dry leaves like a shell . Flora and Folly threw themselves at it ; the children rushed forward , and when they had beaten them off and smoothed down the plumage Kadmiel had disappeared . ` Well , ' said Puck calmly , ` what did you think of it ? Weland gave the Sword ! The Sword gave the Treasure , and the Treasure gave the Law . It 's as natural as an oak growing . ' ' I do n't understand . Did n't he know it was Sir Richard 's old treasure ? ' said Dan . ` And why did Sir Richard and Brother Hugh leave it lying about ? And -- and -- ' ` Never mind , ' said Una politely . ` He 'll let us come and go and look and know another time . Wo n't you , Puck ? '
` Another time maybe , ' XXXXX answered .
