"Such a one," said Robin, "is my Lieutenant, Little John, who is even now absent on an expedition as far as the borders of Scotland; and I will own to your Majesty, that I am sometimes displeased by the freedom of his councils--but, when I think twice, I cannot be long angry with one who can have no motive for his anxiety save zeal for his master's service."
- Pontosan ilyen az én hadnagyom és helyettesem, Little John - felelte Robin Hood. - Most nincs itt, mert éppen egy kis kiruccanást tett jó messzire, egészen Skótország határába. És bevallom felségednek, hogy tanácsai néha kihoznak a sodromból - de ha jobban meggondo­lom, haragom menten elpárolog.
