"My goodness, she is a woman!" exclaims Robin. "Who
might you be, my lady?"
"My name is Elizabeth," you say, inspired by the name of one
of your favorite historical figures, Queen Elizabeth I.
"Elizabeth of...of York. My father is a tailor, but we...my
family and I...we're being taxed to death because of the evil Sherriff
of Nottingham, and so I revealed to my dear sister Victoria that I
planned to disguise myself as a boy and join Robin Hood to stop it for
our sake as well as for that of others." You're amazed at how
quickly you came up with that story, but you also know, suddenly, that
it's all too true. You wait to see what Robin will say, hoping he will
agree to take you on.
"Nay! Wait a minute!" you exclaim. "I'm not a spy--and
besides, I'm not a he...I'm a she!" You remove the cap you
suddenly realize you've been wearing, and the two men gasp as your
hair flows down your back.
