Baa ya Kirkwall ilikuwa na meza tano na moto. Polly akakaa karibu na joto. "Naweza kuona menyu?" akauliza. Kulikuwa na vitu vichache tu kwenye karatasi.

"Waweza kunipendekezea chakula kizuri?" Mmiliki alikuwa korongo. Akasema bannock. Bere ni shayiri iliyolimwa hapa kwa mamia ya miaka. Hukua haraka, katika kiangazi kifupi.

"Je, mna vyakula vya mboga?" Polly akauliza. Korongo akaonyesha mstari uleule. Bannock, siagi na jibini laini.

"Tafadhali, tunaweza kupata bili?" Polly akasema. Korongo akachukua muda wake, jambo ambalo ni ishara nzuri. Nje, upepo ulikuwa karibu kutulia. Polly akatembea hadi kanisa kuu jekundu.
