A Rose Among Thorns Quotes

“little toddler.”
― Rosie Goodwin, A Rose Among Thorns

“Seeing her approach, the pie man gave her a friendly wave. ‘Where’s your mate today, then?’ he shouted pleasantly. ‘Indoors with a nasty cough,’ Sassy told him, and after exchanging a few words she moved on. Somehow, without Clara there to share them, the faggots and peas didn’t hold the same appeal. Taking the list from her pocket, she smiled to herself. Clara would never be classed as a scholar, judging by the many spelling mistakes. Soon Sassy’s basket was full of her purchases and, deciding that there was nothing to be gained by lingering, she headed home. When she finally turned into Tuttle Hill, all the while moving the heavy basket from one arm to the other, she was feeling more than a little deflated. Without Clara’s cheerful gossip she hadn’t enjoyed the outing nearly as much as usual. It was then that a sudden movement in the spinney to the side of the lane caught her eye. Setting down the heavy basket, she stopped to rest for a while and saw Thomas, Ellie and Jez suddenly emerge from the trees.”
