Lidia was so excited as she ran to her wagon and retrieved a leather boddace, leather sheaths to protect her arms, and a blanket made of lambs wool and fine cotton. She entered the dark room dressed in her leathers and with her blanket as her eyes adjusted to the darkness.. Near the entrance to the hatchery Lidia saw a tiny, dark figure curled up in a ball.  "You do not have to fear little one. Please let me hold you. I can warm you. I brought a blanket."
