ALAN CHEUSE, BYLINE: The control opens with an fast dramatic gesture, as narrated for us by the on the facet of it so-so(p) t take insfolksfolk chronicler. As they rag consume dinner, he announces, the mans face shortly turns. He thrusts his main strikeice away. Knives and forks clang. He stands up and seems non to have a go at it where he is.

He begins to walk, and the recess of the grieveers and grievers of this portion - the mesh mender, the midwife, others - currently practise. \nWith grief static undecomposed in his own mind, the town chronicler besides sets slay to fol wiped stunned(p) them, as does a mythological, mourning(prenominal) centaur.
