But life goes on. Last week I had good news from Jack. Ellie has given birth to a healthy baby boy. They’ve called him Matthew, and now Jack has a son to help with the farm when he is older.
My job now is to keep the County safe from the dark.
If I achieve half as much as my master, I will be satisfied.
