Minuet (1980)
“When they went to their carriage, the right front wheel was seen to be badly cracked from the rough terrain they had been covering. A quick trip to the local stable by Henri, always the manager in these difficulties, led him to the decision they must wait and have it repaired, for there wasn’t another carriage to replace theirs. The wheeler promised he would have them on the road by noon.

“We’ll buy bread and cheese too and have our lunch en route to save time stopping,” Sally added.
“A good idea. Degan, you look after Minou while I circulate and see what I can learn.”MoreLess
