![]() It was not entirely dark I could see the shadow that was Constance and when I put my head back I saw two or three stars, shining from far away between the leaves and the branches and down onto my head. I put branches across the entrance even if they came with lights they would not see us. A little purr came from the corner and I knew that Jonas had been waiting here for me. I pushed her gently until she sat down and I took Uncle Julian’s shawl away from her and covered her with it. I found the entrance to my hiding place and led Constance in and took her to the corner where there was a fresh pile of leaves and a blanket. Perhaps I would sing to her or tell her stories I would bring her bright fruits and berries and water in a leaf cup. I would cover her with leaves, like children in a story, and keep her safe and warm. ![]() ![]() I thought once how good it was that I had straightened my hiding place and freshened it, so it would now be pleasant for Constance. I knew my way in the darkness or in the light. ![]()
