They spend the day up there, sheep tearing grass, mastiff dozing with one eye open, bells making their lazy music. When the heat softens toward evening, the whole procession turns for home, and Polly rides back into town on the woolly back of the lead ewe, feeling, for one excellent half hour, like part of the flock.
