It took a few minutes for this thought to penetrate, but when it did she struggled upright and strained her ears. It was a rooster. Curiosity overcame sleepiness.

The tgnnis nets had been taken down and the entire space enclosed in close-mesh wire. Dozens of ore at grain white chickens over the hard- strewed plentiful! rolled turf. Again she heard the cow.
