Then why on earth, asked Ned,

He is in a strange country. I believe that he would prefer to have the Saxon army come on and meet him, at almost any place. What he needeth most of all is this very battle to be fought without delay, for his host is eating up its provisions. This ridge of Senlac, if thou wilt mark it, will prove a death-trap for him or for Harold, as the fight may turn either way.

I heard once, though, of a man who trapped a bear. The trap was a good one, and the bear was in it.

human
I heard that soon there was very little left of either the trap or the hunter, growled Father Brian.

It was a large bear. Come on, now, and we will see what all these men are doing. They are as busy as bees.
