'My flock is the nearest, observed the eldest brother; 'we will leave him in the fold for the night, and to-morrow we will decide which pastures will be best for him. And the wolf grinned as he listened, and held up his head a little higher than before. Early next morning the young farmer began to go his rounds, and the sheep-fold was the first place he visited.
We must build you a better lodge than the one that you are in." "No, sir, not a better one, for if you have all you want, you can't want more; it's big enough, but perhaps not quite near enough. I'm thinking that when the sheep-fold is finished, it might be as well to raise our lodge inside of the palisades, and then we shall be a sort of guard to the creatures." "A very excellent idea, Malachi.
Besides, he thought it would be more prudent not to fall asleep, so he only lay still and snored loudly. When it was quite dark and no sound was to be heard, the puma crept out to the sheep-fold, killed the sheep, and carried back a bowl full of its blood with which to sprinkle the monkey.
"I judged it would come to this," answered Burley, "when such as thou wert called into the council of the elders." "Such as I?" answered Poundtext, "And who am I, that you should name me with such scorn? Have I not kept the flock of this sheep-fold from the wolves for thirty years?

Theodor Wolff was personally silenced for several months.
He made the walls out of the stones of a ruined sheep-fold; he roofed them with a sheet of corrugated iron, stolen from the outbuildings of a neighbouring farm, and covered the iron with sods; he built a fire-place with a flue, but no chimney; he caused water from a spring to flow into a hollow beside the door.
"But for your Simon, with his long tongue, they might have driven us away, for Abbot Cuthbert is no coward, nor has he patience with cowards. But Simon came upon us one night, when we had broken into the sheep-fold and were making off, and he was not too frightened to choose for himself out of what was left.
That was the first and greatest consideration, and with that firm in his mind Stair kept himself steady till the sun was descending low in the sky of the west, and the clamorous birds began to flock back to the island sand-pipers peeping in the hollows about the sheep-fold, gulls and guillemots squabbling on the cliffs, and tarns restlessly dashing and swooping.
When I guide a wolf to my sheep-fold, I will show you the way to Edmund's camp. Take yourself out of reach if you would not be sped with arrows." A jeering laugh was the only answer, but the tramping of hoofs suggested that his advice was being taken.
Alfred and Henry thrashed out the corn, in the shed, or rather open barn, which had been put up by the soldiers in the sheep-fold, and piled up the straw for winter-fodder for the cattle. The oats and wheat were taken into the store-house. Martin's wife could now understand English, and spoke it a little.
