Wolf Wood (Part One): The Gathering Storm - Plot & Excerpts
They were on their way to Salisbury. Master Baret had come to him saying he needed an escort. He wanted three men who were sober, honest and in no way associated with Dick Vowell. That posed a problem because there were only two places where you could recruit an escort in a hurry. One was the George and the other was the Julian. If you went to the George you'd get Wat Gallor's mates. If you went to the Julian, you'd get Dick Vowell's. Neither appealed to the old man and they'd called on the services of Gareth and David, a couple of Welsh lads who'd arrived in town to join Guy Gascoigne's archers. Robin knew them as relatives of Owen Ap-Richard, who worked the country fairs with wooden heads you could shoot at for prizes. They had spent the first night at an inn. It was bucketing down with rain and the road was impassable. If it had been left to Robin, they would have turned back. The direct route was flooded and they'd have to pick their way through the woods to reach their destination on time.
