THE STORY
OF
THE BIG FRONT DOOR.
CHAPTER I.
THE OUTLAWS.
"Come listen to me, ye gallants so free,
All ye who love mirth for to hear;
And I will tell you of a bold outlaw
Who lived in Nottinghamshire."
_Old Ballad._
Ikey Ford was the first to make the discovery, and he lost no time in
carrying the news to the others.
Great was their consternation!
"Moving into the Brown house? Nonsense, Ikey, you are making it up!"
Carl exclaimed.
"What shall we do about the banquet for King Richard?" cried Bess,
sitting down on the doorstep despairingly.
