attack on 6 June
Why, pray tell, given 'tis but the sixth day of winter, would a magpie
swoop upon a lone and gentle horseman riding unobtrusively along the track
beside Parkwood Road Holt this afternoon? Not once, but twice did it sally
forth, knocking my hat askew with a wing during its second sortie.
