Chapter 9 from The Burds of Burdle
“Wandering Cap’n Legg sat a few feet from the well-lit fire. He was on a wooden-back stool and holding a mug of ‘Certain’. Close by were Arthur and Feet Burd, on a hewn bench, and on a rush mat by them was Higginz, gazing through half closed lids at the smoke from the fire, rising above the trees…..After a while, the Cap’n coughed lightly….He was now ready to start his tale.”
