Hunted
“Poachers had killed her mother and she was in a bad way.'They had just had breakfast, and Patrick had led them round to the yard behind the lodge. It was a wide, sandy area with two large pens marked out by ranch-style fencing. A baby elephant stood in the corner of one, watching them with dark eyes. It was time to feed her.Amber thought she was about the cutest thing she had ever seen, a perfect, petite version of the mighty Boudicca who had met them at the gate. She wanted to say something gu...shing but she restrained herself; she'd never live it down. Instead she went for something eminently sensible: 'She looks rather unhappy.'Patrick nodded. 'She's ill. We found her the same day as Tessa had her accident. We told Tess about her when she was in hospital, and she insisted on naming her. She's called Moya.'
