Fenwick is keeping a secret


A cheesemonger at the winter market

Everyone in the trade knows Fenwick has been making something for the winter market. Nobody knows how big. The dairy has been locked for a year and the dairymaid walks around like she is carrying a secret and a sore back.

A boy who delivers milk there swears he saw it. He says it is bigger than a cart wheel and that they are going to need a cart just for it.

My worry is the hill. Fenwick sits on top of one. The river sits at the bottom. If I were the guild I would keep the weekend free and the shoes laced.
In confidence, A cheesemonger who will say no more
