    When Tom came near the sheep he noticed that they were all in one bunch. Tom called the dog by his name but he did not come. He listened and after a while he heard a screech and he wondered, he went to where it came from and he saw a woman dressed in a long white cloak on her. It seems the sheep-dog attacked her, and she then she started beating him, and Tom pulled away the dog then Tom tried to go but he could not leave that place until atfer two o'clock. Tom said that he never ran as quick in his life, as he did that morning.
