Blood On the Sand
“There were some new guards set about the place, mostly foolish men who ruffled Ed’s hair and embarrassed him by joking about his age and height whenever they had the chance, but so long as Béatrice didn’t see, he didn’t care.
He was enjoying his time with Georges, although the boy was oddly quiet on occasion. Well, Ed had lost a father and family when the French attacked his town, so he could understand how his friend might feel. Georges was lucky that he and his mother had been reunited. T...here were plenty of lads who had lost their families and never found them again, and many whose families had all been killed.
Not that Ed was overly worried by Georges. He spent most of his time helping Béatrice. He carried the heavier buckets for her, he lit the fire for her, he inserted himself between her and the barrels when they must be moved, anticipating her every move so as to save her efforts. And when he was not working with her, he shot sly glances at her.MoreLess
