Chapter 69

Lyra

It's awfully a warm day today even when it's the middle of November but I don't question why as I walk back. The ground is still soggy, from the rain two nights before, so I take a small detour and take another way back to Martha. I'm not the one in the right state of mind to deal with the scolding if she finds out I was trekking the grounds around the manor without any shoes.
