He had liever a gold noble and a pottle of canary wine than all the vengeances in purgatory . '' `` Lawless , '' replied the other , `` to reach the Moat House , Sir Daniel must pass the forest . We shall make that passage dearer , pardy , than any battle . Then , when he hath got to earth with such ragged handful as escapeth us -- all his great friends fallen and fled away , and none to give him aid -- we shall beleaguer that old fox about , and great shall be the fall of him . 'T is a fat buck ; he will make a dinner for us all . '' `` Ay , '' returned Lawless , `` I have eaten many of these dinners beforehand ; but the cooking of them is hot work , good Master Ellis . And meanwhile what do we ? We make black arrows , we write rhymes , and we drink fair cold water , that discomfortable drink . '' `` Y ' are untrue , Will Lawless . Ye still smell of the Grey Friars ' buttery ; greed is your undoing , '' answered Ellis . `` We took twenty pounds from Appleyard . We took seven marks from the messenger last night . A day ago we had fifty from the merchant . '' `` And to-day , '' said one of the men , `` I stopped a fat pardoner riding apace for Holywood . Here is his purse . '' Ellis counted the contents . `` Five score shillings ! '' he grumbled . `` Fool , he had more in his sandal , or stitched into his tippet . Y ' are but a child , Tom Cuckow ; ye have lost the fish . ''
But , for all that , XXXXX pocketed the purse with nonchalance .
