Talis and the Thousand Tasks

Save the Orphan

Miss Drabble meets Gwinny Field in the park and asks her to look after her newborn nephew. But while Gwinny talks to Mordy, the pram rolls away. Talis recovers it some way off and, assuming responsibility for the orphan, brings it back to the Field's house. Talis takes great pains to look after the infant, but finds that attitudes to childcare have changed somewhat since the Middle Ages!
