The Ogre of Oglefort (2011)
“After they had worked steadily all week, the Hag said she thought they should have Sunday off and explore the surrounding countryside.
When they had crossed the drawbridge they all went their separate ways. The troll went off toward the line of trees in the distance; the children followed the stream which fed the lake to see where it led; the wizard wandered along the hedgerows looking for interesting plants for his potions. But the Hag went east, to where the flat ground stretched toward t...he sea.
She walked on, watching the cloud shadows scudding across the fields. She was worrying about Ivo. He seemed to have settled in to life in the ogre’s castle as though he had been born to it, but of course they couldn’t stay here forever.

Would they let her adopt him?MoreLess
