Oh, isn't this magnificent! I don't believe there was ever anything more splendid in all the world!

It will be a great battle, my boy, said the missionary,

I see! shouted Ned.

The Normans are advancing! William's whole army is moving! Oh, how I wish our men were armed with breech-loaders! I wish we had Maxim guns and cannon looking out through the palisades. The Normans would never get near enough to do any chopping on them, then.
human
Chopping? echoed the good man.
gpt
In a very little, I think thou wilt see good chopping done by the Saxons. The best of our ax-men are at the front. Mark thou the slingers behind them, and note King Harold's bowmen. I would there were more of them. The archers and slingers of Duke William come on in advance of his horsemen.
human
They are beginning, too, said Ned.
gpt
A stone from a sling will break a shield. They say the Norman arrows will go through armour.
human
If they hit! said the priest.
gpt
Mark, now! This is the advantage of the king's position.
