Reads:-
It was related how Claude Duval became Captain of a
formidable gang, how at the head of his troop he stopped
a lady's coach, in which there was a booty of four hundred
pounds, how he took only one hundred, and suffered the
fair owner to ransom the rest by dancing a Coranto with
him on the heath!
