Prudence

Prudence is better and out, just now, for the first time in eight days, and I was delighted to see her, though she was obviously far from well. She staggered about, one eye open, one shut, but took a sugar snap pea and two pieces of carrot, and spent some time chewing the stuff up in her food store.

I cannot help thinking that another trip to Shap Abbey is 'in the offing'.
