'' And he told me how the young thing had stopped his tall horse at the Ford , by waving of a branch , and crying that the way was barred . `` And if one bold , bare babe be enough to guard the Ford in these days , thou hast done well , '' said he , and puffed and wiped his head . ` He pinched the child 's cheek , and looked at our cattle in the flat by the river . ' `` Both fat , '' said he , rubbing his nose . `` This is craft and cunning such as I love . What did I tell thee when I rode away , boy ? '' ' `` Hold the Manor or hang , '' said I. I had never forgotten it . ' `` True . And thou hast held . '' He clambered from his saddle and with his sword 's point cut out a turf from the bank and gave it me where I kneeled . ' Dan looked at Una , and Una looked at Dan . ` That 's seizin , ' said Puck , in a whisper . ' `` Now thou art lawfully seized of the Manor , Sir Richard , '' said he -- 't was the first time he ever called me that -- `` thou and thy heirs for ever . This must serve till the King 's clerks write out thy title on a parchment . England is all ours -- if we can hold it . '' ' `` What service shall I pay ? '' I asked , and I remember I was proud beyond words . ' `` Knight 's fee , boy , knight 's fee ! '' said he , hopping round his horse on one foot .
