As if in respect to Ida’s exhaustion, the sheep were quiet. No new lambs, no new pending lambs, no distressed ewes. But as soon as Ida breathed her sigh of relief she began to worry; shouldn’t there be new lambs, pending lambs, restless ewes? She called Lem, using as her excuse the trunk of clothes.

“I have Ezra’s clothes packed up. You’re about the size. Would you like them? If not, I wanted to ask if you could take them to the Seamen’s Bethel.”

“I think a shipwrecked sailor has more need of a good warm suit of clothes than I do.”

“Can you take them?”

“Can and will. Should do it soon too. Rose Amaral still hasn’t fully restocked the Bethel’s clothes locker since the storm.”

That settled, Ida moved the talk around to the eerie quiet in the paddock and listened to a sheeplike chuckle on the other end of the line.

“Don’t go looking for trouble, Ida. It’ll come.”
