A whisper went through the crowd that had gathered around Joseph's farm. Robin will come. The murmur passed from peasant to peasant. Worry was replaced by hope in the adults. Excitement bubbled in the children, determined to see their legendary hero first hand.
Guy and his men advanced on the barn where Joseph cowered in the doorway. A nameless guard passed Guy a lighted torch. He raised it to the thatch ready to burn the building to the ground. At the last possible second an arrow flew in, knocking the torch from Guy's hand.
