{{quote|Five uneventful days passed after the last I have described. For Charles, no opportunities to continue his exploration of the Undercliff presented themselves. On one day there was a long excursion to Sidmouth; the mornings of the others were taken up by visits or other more agreeable diversions, such as archery, then a minor rage among the younger ladies of England&mdash;the dark green ''de rigueur'' was so becoming, and so delightful the tamed gentlemen walking to fetch the arrows from the butts (where the myopic Ernestina's seldom landed, I am afraid) and returning with pretty jokes about Cupid and hearts and <keyword>Maid Marian</keyword>.<ref>{{:Fowles, John Robert 1992a}}, p. 99.</ref>}}</onlyinclude>

== Source notes ==
The passage occurs early in chapter 16.

== IRHB comments ==
For an account of an 'Archery  Meeting' attended by elegant lady toxophilites that may conceivably have inspired the passage in Fowles, see [[1823 - Rhodes, Ebenezer - Peak Scenery (1)]].
