Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Love of Brothers It was a night of bright moonlight that made for pitchy shadows under wall or tree. Patsy Kenny was looking for the goat, she having broken her tether. He had been driven forth by his fierce old grandfather with threats of the most awful nature if he should return without the goat. The tears were not yet dry on Patsy´s small face. He had kneaded them in with his knuckles, but the smears caused by the process were not visible in the moonlight, even if there had been any one to see them. It was not only the hardship of being driven out when the meal of hot potatoes was on the table, to search for that "ould divil" of a goat, and his sense of the injustice which had put the blame of the goat´s straying on to his narrow shoulders. The old, in Patsy´s knowledge of them, were crabbed and unjust. That was something for the young to take in the day´s work. It was Patsy´s fears of the supernatural that kept him creeping along in the shadow of the hedge, now and again stopping to weep a little over his troubles, or to listen fearfully like a frightened hare before going on again. Why, close to the road by which he must go to seek the goat there was the tomb in which Captain Hercules O´Hart lay buried.
