Heart of Ice
“The road was indeed good and there were relatively few places where potholes and cracks meant slowing down to pick a careful path.
Augustus must have asked directions – perhaps he already knew the way, for before coming to Hawkenlye his young life had been spent travelling on England’s roads – and as they approached the place he was able to lead Josse along increasingly narrow paths and tracks until, deep in the forest and with the gentle slope of a hill behind it, they came to Roberts...bridge Abbey.
Josse was not sure what he had been expecting; in the back of his mind he had had a vague picture of a smaller and more isolated Hawkenlye. As soon as the settlement known as Robertsbridge Abbey came into view, however, he realised that his mental image was quite wrong: Robertsbridge was nothing like Hawkenlye and, had it not been for the rough wooden cross affixed to one of the larger buildings, it could, from a distance, have been mistaken for a primitive peasant hamlet.MoreLess
