rin, rinnin: run, running.

Run run Sneddon of the pen, keep up with Malky your bird and stop your wheezing.

If we make good time we can take the coracle and navigate to the hidden Inlet of the Black Winter Daisy using our chart in the sky before it sets at the first crack of the dawn – forever.

I will admit this beach of mixed gravel and sand makes running difficult and painful.

Yet not a hint of grumbling from Babbington carrying his heavy book with his soft soft Lizard feet.

Consider that – if you will – and hurry on.
