Tollu at the Door

Tollu had been having a solitary half in the Bent Elbow. He still had lots to think about, not the least what he was going to do about Murdo, when he heard a sudden cheer and several voices raised from outside. A few paetrons turned their heads, but most thought any good news would doon gravitate to the Inn, so they would know all about it.

But for Tollu it was like the knell of a bell. Good news, oh to be sure, but he had so much explaining to do. 

He hesitated.

"Tolbold, is it really you?"

"Henepa, we have all missed you"

"We've missed yer breakfasts."

Tollu straightened himself up and brushed at his jacket. No time to find Sarno, he had to do this alone.

He turned the door handle and stepped into the late Spring sunlight.
