That night, William came back to Sir Georges home.He stood under Joannas window and called to her. Joanna took some clothes and came quietly out of the house.
William took her hand. ‘Will you come with me and marry me?' he asked. ‘We cannot live in my home because your father's men will look for you there. So we will live in the green forest.'
‘I am sorry for my father,' Joanna said sadly, ‘but I love you.I know you are a good man.I will marry you.'
In the morning, Sir George woke late. He called to his men, 'Where is my daughter? I want to speak to her.'
But Joanna was nowhere in the house.
Sir George was very angry, then very sad.
‘I have no family now,' he thought.
One fine day in April, a year later, a man came to the house.
‘Your daughter sent me here,' he said. ‘She wants you to come and see her.'
Sir George followed the man to the middle of Sherwood Forest. There, in the spring sunshine, he saw his daughter. He also saw a baby boy in her arms. Joanna looked up at her father and smiled.
'This is Robin, your grandson,' she said.
She gave the baby to her father. Sir George wanted to be angry, but he was very happy with his grandson in his arms.
‘Robin? Is that your name?' he said. ‘Well, little Robin, I wanted to kill your father but that is not possible now. Please, daughter,come with your husband and live near me. Lets forget
the past.'
'We will come and live near you, father,' said Joanna. 'But I will often bring my son to the forest. I will teach him to find his way in the forest in the day and at night. He will learn to make arrows for his bow, and to catch forest animals. He will make a fire and cook the meat. The forest will always be his second home.'
