I recommend you take the opportunity to refresh you memory of the Robin Hood 
ballads and stories. The abbe' is Friar Tuck. Joselyn is Maid Marian. Mother 
Cloot the evil prioress who bled Robin Hood to death. I don't mean there is 
a one-to-one connection, of course. Wolfe twisted them all around the way he 
does. But the old narratives are there.
