Brooke plucked and gutted the rooks with less distaste than Gordon expected. She discarded the feet and the heads but used as much of the birds as she could to make a kind of stew with herbs gathered nearby.
When the food was ready, John Palmer ate with reluctance and complained the meat was tainted and bitter. He didn’t finish his meal. Brooke ate slowly and thoughtfully and finished her portion without serving herself any more. To Gordon the stew tasted better than anything his mother had ever made. He took a second helping and ate with gusto while the other two looked on. Each mouthful seemed to charge him.
