by Bernard Cornwell. Part one. england October 1346.<\/p>\n

It was October, the time of the year\u2019s dying when cattle were being slaughtered before winter and when the northern winds brought a promise of ice The chestnut leaves had turned golden, the beeches were trees of flame and the oaks were made from bronze. Thomas of Hookton, with his woman, Eleanor, and his friend, Father Hobbe, came to the upland farm at dusk and the farmer refused to open his door, but shouted through the wood that the travellers could sleep in the byre. Rain rattled on the mouldering thatch. Thomas led their one horse under the roof that they shared with a woodpile, six pigs in a stout timber pen and a scattering of feathers where a hen had been plucked. The feathers reminded Father Hobbe that it was Saint Gallus\u2019s day and he told Eleanor how the blessed saint, coming home in a winter\u2019s night, had found a bear stealing his dinner. He told the animal off!\u201d Father Hobbe said. He gave it a right talking-to, he did, and then he made it fetch his firewood.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen a picture of that,\u201d Eleanor said. Didn\u2019t the bear become his servant?\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Gallus was a holy man,\u201d Father Hobbe explained.<\/p>\n

Bears wouldn\u2019t fetch firewood for just anyone! Only for a holy man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
