Beyond its terminus in the river bluff they could see the outer world yet suffused with the waning glory of sunset. A scream a piercing scream of fright from Alvarita.
Ford, pretending to be greatly frightened. "Open it, open it quick, please! I can't wait!" cried Molly. At the slightest touch now the lid fell off and there, lying on a mat of softest grass, was a tiny, new-born lamb.
