And as for Sir Daniel , y ' are very brave behind his back . But I will be no tale-bearer ; and let that suffice . '' `` I say no harm of you , Master Richard , '' returned the peasant . `` Y ' are a lad ; but when ye come to a man 's inches , ye will find ye have an empty pocket . I say no more : the saints help Sir Daniel 's neighbours , and the Blessed Maid protect his wards ! '' `` Clipsby , '' said Richard , `` you speak what I can not hear with honour . Sir Daniel is my good master , and my guardian . '' `` Come , now , will ye read me a riddle ? '' returned Clipsby . `` On whose side is Sir Daniel ? '' `` I know not , '' said Dick , colouring a little ; for his guardian had changed sides continually in the troubles of that period , and every change had brought him some increase of fortune . `` Ay , '' returned Clipsby , `` you , nor no man . For , indeed , he is one that goes to bed Lancaster and gets up York . '' Just then the bridge rang under horse-shoe iron , and the party turned and saw Bennet Hatch come galloping -- a brown-faced , grizzled fellow , heavy of hand and grim of mien , armed with sword and spear , a steel salet on his head , a leather jack upon his body . He was a great man in these parts ; Sir Daniel 's right hand in peace and war , and at that time , by his master 's interest , bailiff of the hundred . `` Clipsby , '' he shouted , `` off to the Moat House , and send all other laggards the same gate . Bowyer will give you jack and salet . We must ride before curfew . Look to it : he that is last at the lych-gate Sir Daniel shall reward . Look to it right well !
I XXXXX you for a man of naught .
