Henshaw and Lord Richard Fowler<br/><strong>When:</strong>Day 1, before dinner<br/><br/>As the conversation turned to Zeus, Charlie couldn’t help but smile.  Lord Richard’s horse was magnificent, a beautiful beast full of courage and fierce will but she had seen no sign of meanness in him.  She knew she could trust the horse more than she could trust the men stable.  It was easy for Lord Richard to say his threat was empty when she had already done as he commanded and stayed in the stable.<br/><br/>She put the bucket back on the floor by the barrel and walked over to Zeus’s stall. Her eyes were on the floor, as usual, until she approached the animal. Then she started watching him as she spoke to him. The way he held his head, the turn of his ears towards the sound of her voice told her that he remembered her and wasn’t against receiving her attention.<br/><br/>“There now, you are a great beautiful beastie.  All these strange happenings haven’t up set you, I see.  You just want a little attention now, don’t you?  Just your due, I know.”<br/><br/>When she was close enough, she reached up as scratched the thick tuft of main between his ears.  With her other hand she pulled a chunk of carrot from her pocket and let the big horse take it from her open fingers.  She pet Zeus but refused to look at either man.<br/><br/>
