The "and still she/he stood" version is the one I know.

Whatever flies and such may be, I am still unclear on the concept of a false knight. What would be the motive for a knight to be posing riddles to a child on the high road? False in what sense -- the riddles are fair enough. But maybe I am overanalyzing.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was referring to a feature of certain gentlemen's clothing.:)

Sandy, I once read a story perhaps true, perhaps apocryphal about "Nova Scotia Farewell". Helen Creighton had collected it in the field somewhere, and in due course Catherine MacKinnon (I think) recorded it for the first time. In the way of artists she altered it somewhat. Then the person from whom Creighton had collected the song, having heard MacKinnon's version on the radio, started singing it her way instead! Do you know if there is any truth to this?
