'You spoil them for the public.' "'Very well,' said I, 'I'll take the fields,' and then, up leapt others from behind a hedge and said, 'These fields are private.' "'Curse your public and private,' I said, 'I'm going to my Princess,' and I stooped down and picked him up very gently--kicking and shouting--and put him out of my way.

In a minute all the fields about me seemed alive with running men.

I saw one on horseback galloping beside me and reading something as he rode--shouting it.

He finished and turned and galloped away from me--head down.

I couldn't make it out.
