She was half blind with a sore disease of the eyes, and this had well-nigh sealed her eyelids together. But through the small slits left open she could see a great deal still, and she watched the flare of the flames as they leaped and caught under the strong and skillful hands of the mother. Now she said, her words hissing softly through her sunken, toothless gums, Be careful how you feed the firethere is only that one loadis it two?and the spring is but newly come and we have long to go before the grass is long enough to cut and here I am as[10] I am and I doubt I can ever go again and pick a bit of fuela useless old crone now, who ought to die ......Buy Now (To Read More)
