Ollie only had to take one step toward them and they all flew up in the same instant, scattering in large black clouds with a sudden flutter of their tiny wings. They twirled toward the sky in a long arch, either stretching apa...rt or bundling tightly together, a hundred tiny bodies sharing one big soul.

His presence had ceased to be a threat, especially now that Henry and Mark had become friends. Sometimes Henry went to the smithy after milking and helped John and Mark with the pallets.MoreLess
