Hawksmaid (2010)
“Young birds, eyases, are especially susceptible. Severe cold is thought to cause cramp. There is no cure.
ALL THROUGH THE SUMMER and the fall of 1191 and well into the next winter, the rubies nestled hidden in the five hollows of the trees that Matty called the lepers of the forest. The people grew poorer. Prince John grew bolder, and the five friends grew bolder as well and more desperate. Matty had proved herself an excellent cutpurse, but the takings were slimmer even from the sheriff’s men....
Beyond stealing, the boys had to find ways to earn a penny here or there to help their own families, for there were mouths to feed. Rich helped his father at the mill. It had been seized by the sheriff, who forced them to grind grain at half price for the sheriff and any of his men. Similarly Will Scarloke’s father, by decree of Prince John, was made to shoe the horses of the sheriff’s men free of charge. Will worked in his father’s forge and had started to juggle on market days in various towns to make enough money to help buy food.MoreLess
