Anselm. Don't be afraid, Robin. So you are the Forester's son. Ah-h! Hum, hum-m-m! Are you kind to animals, Robin?
Robin. Oh, yes, sir. My father teaches me to be good to them always.
[Gregory bends over and whispers to Anselm.
Anselm. Robin, answer me truthfully. Did you ever rob a bird's nest?
[Robin hangs his head and works his toes about.
Anselm. Did you do this?
Robin [rubbing his eyes]. Yes, Father, I did.
Gregory. Too bad, too bad. Now I am sorry to hear this.
Anselm. So am I, Gregory, but you see it won't do!
[Robin goes to stand by Gilbert, still rubbing his eyes.
