It was an unusually warm spring evening when a cart ,containing the love of his life, came rolling towards him. The robber was trotting towards the market in order to sell his recently obtained broach when Bess caught his eye .She was being burgled by a man nobody seemed to know. The highwayman yanked on the reins and galloped towards the mysterious man
By the time he got to the carriage the other robber had a bag full of riches but he soon dropped them when the Highwayman unslethed his rapier
“who are you?” asked Bess “ Another robber?”
“No” replied the Highwayman “Im William”
“Erm...i have lost my way” Bess continued “Could you show me back to the Golden Pint”
“Why of course”purred the Highwayman
The next hour was spent strolling towards the pub,when they got there The Highwayman dropped the question,
“Can i see you again”
“Tomorrow” answered Bess
The next 5 weeks were spent going to different pubs until Bess finally Bess asked
“What do you do for a living”
The HIghwayman didn't know what to say
“I work with money” he said causally
“specifically?” she said
“ I'm a Highwayman…” he murmured
“WHAT” The noise made the whole inn stop talking
“You lied to me” she said as she stopped out
It had been 2 days since the highwayman had seen Bess and it had the two worst two days of his life of the highwayman's life. Filled with despair, he would wander aimlessly through the town
One day he wandered into the stable where he saw a man with mouldy hay-like hair and eyes they were hollows of madness. He was shoveling manure into a pot.
“What am i going to do?” squealed the Highwayman it appeared that Tim wasn't listening, but he hung on every word.
“I have got to find her”
As the highwayman raced out Tim started after him ; his trance was broken by a “Splat”
The Highwayman came riding round the bend and collided with Bess
What a coincidence.
The Highwayman got down on his knees and begged
“Please take me back my beloved”he wailed
A deathly silence...
“Meet me tomorrow” she replied
It was an unusually warm spring evening as a horse, carrying the love of Bess’s life came towards her.
