You will want some pens.

I will get a bunch of quills and make them up into pens for you." "What, a whole bunch ?" said Marco.
"Yes," replied Forester.

"I don't wish to have you come to me, when I am in the midst of a law argument, to get me to make a pen." Steel pens were very little used in those days.

I shall tie them up, when they are ready, into two bunches, of about a dozen in each.
