Gaze Quote by Catherine Anderson
““As she reached to hug Amy, Loretta heard someone shout. She glanced back at the small cluster of wagons and saw a woman waving her arms and beckoning to them. “Something’s up.” Amy squinted into the sunlight. “Do they want their dung or not? Addlepated woman. If she thinks I’m gonna run all the way back over there, she’s got another think.””
