Just Before Seven O'Clock

[poliphilo]

Patch is back in his field- and his owners have strung a cat's cradle of string across what we think was his point of exit. Apparently string deters horses quite as much as barbed wire would. They see the obstacle- and have no idea of its strength.

Cloud has been building up all day. It's just started raining in Wimbledon and I think it may be about to rain here. It would be excellent if it did.
