w fares it, oh illustrious one?’
‘It is you, then, young cock of the woods!’ growled Saxon, in no very overjoyed voice.
‘No less a person,’ said Reuben. ‘And now, my gay cavalieros, round with your Paris Saint Germain PSG Drakt horses and trot on your way, for there is no time to be lost. We ought all to be at Taunton tomorrow.’
‘But, my dear Reuben,’ said I, ‘it cannot be that you are coming with us to join Monmouth. What would your father say? This is no holiday Spania Fotballtrøyer Damer Drakt jaunt, but one that may have a sad and stern ending. At the best, victory can only come through much bloodshed and danger. At the worst, we are as like to wind up upon a scaffold as not.’
‘Forwards, lads, forwards!’ cried he, spurring on his horse, ‘it is all arranged and settled. I am about to Antoine Griezmann Drakt offer my august person, together with a sword which I borrowed and a horse which I stole, to his most Protestant highness, James, Duke of Monmouth.’
‘But how comes it all?’ I asked, as we rode on together. ‘It warms my very heart to see you, but you were never concerned either in religion or in politics. Whence, Hull City Trikot then, this sudden resolution?’
‘Well, truth to tell,’ he replied, ‘I am neither a king’s man nor a duke’s man, nor would I give a button which sat upon the throne.

‘I can but try, Northern Ireland Trikot my illustrious,’ he answered, rearranging his ruffled clothing. Costa Rica Trikot ‘Perchance the sudden and unexpected character of my movements may disconcert the said enemy.’

You can tell what the one is after, but the other will invent a system of his own which will serve his turn for the nonce.
