From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
The forester, full of ale, shoots first and misses Robin’s head by three inches. Robin turns and shoots back, crying, “Ye said I was no archer.” Was he defending himself, or proving a point? Underline the rest of his cry, and bracket what he says once he knows what he has done.
