Posted on Sat, 04 Jul 2020

I like this exchange very much! Abigail is getting much more self confident, too. Cleaning wounds and cooking supper. That she is worried about Buck because he is old reinforces that she is little, just having to grow up very fast. "All quick" I...

Enjoyed this very much! I had never thought of water "slouching"! Particularly liked "the stream is a gurgle" and "one more slurp" which create idea of movement and soiund. You have created a character out of this stream, it's great!
