6. This is a story about the tragic death of my loved one... Bess One lonely night when I was feeding the horses I heard a “Tlot, Tlot Tlot” outside. “Who could this be at this hour?” I wondered. Then I found out, it was a man riding on a black horse, it was if it was covered with a layer of ashes! He tapped his whip on the door. I knew my lovely Bess would be in bed by now but my prediction was wrong! Well when I say that I really meant I was right first time - the mysterious man now whistled a tune to the window. Who should be waiting there? But my beautiful Bess. What happened next shook me up: the man and Bess had started kissing! What shook me up even more was when he turned around; he was wearing a Highwayman mask! By George in the voice of Tim

10. Dear diary, As I plaited my long black hair, I heard the door bell rang once or twice. It was a handsome young man. He had a rich velvet smell. It rushed to my nose. He kissed my long black hair (after all he is rich) Finally he said ‘watch for me by moon light, wait for me by moon light.’ He rode off in the purple moor Some how the red coat men barged into my house whilst the others drank my dad’s ale . They then ran up stairs and gagged me. They had the hardest ropes. I nearly choked my self to death . I was so terrified; every window was covered with death It felt like years before the Highwayman came. A long black pistol was pointing at my breast. I took a deep breath and moved my finger, and bang I was dead! I killed my self to warn the Highway man. Written by Chloe (in the voice of Bess)
11. I want to tell a tragic story. The stars twinkled down on me like a spotlight, as I galloped across the purple moor to the inn door. Eventually, I got to the inn where my loved one was waiting. There she was, the most cutest women in the land: Bess. I whistled to the window. Bess opened the window. Having decided to rob tonight I whispered, “watch for me by moonlight,” and kissed her silk like hair and galloped to the west. After two days on the highway I decided to see Bess. As I rode back to the inn, excitement rushed through my veins; at last I was there. “ BANG.” A musket shattered the silence. By Kane in the voice of Highwayman
12. Bess’s diary As I was plaiting my hair and putting a dark red love-knot in my hair, The Highway man whistled a tune to the window .then the he rode away on his skinny legged horse. Unfortunately the red coats came and gagged me and tied me up to the bed. Once my finger touched the fat trigger, I killed myself because I wanted to warn the highwayman. Unfortunately it made him want to come and see me. Still on a winters night he comes to see me and kisses my hair and rides away to go and rob people. Although I think that it’s nasty and mean. But I’m glad that the solders are not ever going to come again. Me and the highwayman can get married now there are not any rules. By Bethan
13. The wind was a torrent of darkness, across the icy yard. Tim crept from the stables, past the red-coat guard. Tim heard his loved one speaking, speaking, Tim heard his loved one speaking, across the landlord’s yard. By Charlie B

The highwayman Still on a murderous night they say, When the marvellous moon shines through the frosty trees, When the cobbles are clatters of joy, A fearful highway man comes shrieking, shrieking, shrieking, A thunderous highwayman comes shrieking up to the old in door.

By Sam and Luke
