` Would that be a Act of Parliament like ? ' Hobden asked . ` Sure-ly . Ca n't do nothing in Old England without Act , Warrant an ' Summons . He got his Act allowed him , an ' , they say , Queen Bess 's father he used the parish churches something shameful . Justabout tore the gizzards out of I dunnamany . Some folk in England they held with ` en ; but some they saw it different , an ' it eended in 'em takin ' sides an ' burnin ' each other no bounds , accordin ' which side was top , time bein ' . That tarrified the Pharisees : for Goodwill among Flesh an ' Blood is meat an ' drink to 'em , an ' ill-will is poison . ' ` Same as bees , ' said the Bee Boy . ` Bees wo n't stay by a house where there 's hating . ' ` True , ' said Tom . ` This Reformatories tarrified the Pharisees same as the reaper goin ' round a last stand o ' wheat tarrifies rabbits . They packed into the Marsh from all parts , and they says , `` Fair or foul , we must flit out o ' this , for Merry England 's done with , an ' we 're reckoned among the Images . '' ' ` Did they all see it that way ? ' said Hobden . ` All but one that was called Robin -- if you 've heard of him . What are you laughin ' at ? ' Tom turned to Dan . ` The Pharisees 's trouble did n't tech Robin , because he 'd cleaved middlin ' close to people , like . No more he never meant to go out of Old England -- not he ; so he was sent messagin ' for help among Flesh an ' Blood .
But Flesh an ' Blood must always think of their own concerns , an ' XXXXX could n't get through at 'em , ye see .
