Excerpt from Barbara Lynn a Tale of the Dales and Fells

Thundergay glimmered through the green twilight with his hoary head under the Pole star, and his feet in the wan waters of a tarn. His breath was the North Wind.

Barbara put up the shutters and turned to an old woman, who was propped against the pillows of a four-post bed. It stood in the full light Of a turf fire, and looked like a ship with its sails furled.

I'll bid you good-night and good rest, great granny, said the girl.

The old woman was watching her with keen eyes - eyes so bright that they glittered under her shaggy brows.
