h overlooks the plain of Sedgemoor, it was with regret on each side that I bade my guardian adieu. As a parting favour I begged him to take charge of Covenant for me, promising to pay a certain sum by the month for his keep,PJS Dameklær Kodiak Strøk, and commissioning him to retain the horse for his own use should I fail to claim him within the year.
