The Spellcoats
“Robin was bounced over tree roots and thrown out of the cart once. It seemed to me that much more of it would kill her.
“Go and tell the King the One wants us to stop until Robin’s well,” said Duck.
It was an excellent idea. “Suppose I tell him the One wants us to be left behind in an empty cottage, on our own?” I said.
“He won’t do that,” said Duck. “He wants the One.” He was right.
Our King readily agreed to camp until Robin was well. “Still looking very peaky, isn’t she?” he said. He pointed... through the budding green. “Suppose she rests up in that old mill over there. We’ll camp outside, and the village over the River can send us food. We’ll give her a week or so. There don’t seem to be any Heathen in these parts.”
I had no idea we were near the River. It was all forest to me. Imagine my surprise when I found it was the mill across the River from Shelling—the one that is haunted by a woman, that they say the River forbade them to use. I told the King it would do perfectly.MoreLess
