Sir Bentley And Holbrook Court (2009)
Sir Bentley And Holbrook Court
“The food was scarce, the labor hard, the days long. With another mouth to feed and no advantage yet gained by Bentley's labor, their situation soon became dire.
Bentley's stomach howled in hunger throughout the day, and he knew that each of them was suffering similarly—though only little Nia voiced any complaints. Bentley tried to take less food than all of them, for he had more reserves.
Late in the afternoon of the third day, Bentley's thoughts were consumed with how he could help this family... through this difficult time. Anwen had returned to the cottage earlier to tend to Creighton, who still suffered greatly. Bentley was a fair distance from both the cottage and the road that wound its way near it and the other farms when he saw a horse-drawn wagon come from around a knoll and on toward the cottage. The distance made it difficult to determine much, but Bentley could see the driver was slender of form. A bulkier figure sat on the wagon's open tailgate.
Bentley gathered his tools and headed to the cottage.MoreLess
