The Dragon and the Raven

CHAPTER III: THE MASSACRE AT CROYLAND
4/27

And now, methinks, I am strong enough to walk again.

Let us make our way far into the forest, then we must rest for the night.

A few hours' sleep will make a fresh man of me, and to-morrow morning we will go to Croyland and see what the good abbot your uncle proposes to do, then will we to the hut where we dwelt before coming hither.

We will dig up the chest and take out such valuables as we can carry, and then make for Wessex.

After this day's work I have no longer any hope that East Anglia will successfully oppose the Danes.
