Welcome to the Laws Family Register.

Little Silver Bells
by me
Part 1
The road snaked up the valley following the
river, after crossing it for the third time Robert spotted a narrow lane almost
hidden by the dark majestic and yet mysterious pines. He steered the battered
truck into the new lane which turned immediately sharp left and became rather
steep and very muddy, almost immediately it skirted the grounds of an ancient
shooting lodge, then wound up the hill, getting narrower all the time. Suddenly
they came out briefly into a patch of sunshine and it was then that they saw
the house.
This must be
Dirrington, Robert thought, the track appeared to go no further. He parked the
car and they looked into the entrance to what must have been in years gone by,
a coach-yard, probably with stables with kennels behind, and at the bottom of
the yard stood a cottage, just as it had been described on the telephone the
day before.
"We have
arrived." Robert said.
He got out and
walked to the garden gate, took a step forward and knocked at the door, but there
was no answer, so he returned to the car and his wife Laura, daughter Emma and her
dog Ricky.
"No one
here yet”? Laura asked.
"Don't
think so,” he replied, and yet I feel there is someone here,”
As he spoke he
heard a cough, he looked round to find a tall, well built man, with sandy hair,
and a sour expression standing in the middle of the yard his hands planted
firmly on his hips. Robert got out of the car, to be greeted by a gruff voice
that demanded rather than asked.
"Come to
buy cottage, have ye?"
"No.” Robert
replied. "We've come to stay in it, just for a few days."
This seemed to
placate the man who then strode off to the nearer of the two cottages,
splashing through the puddles with gusto.
Robert turned
back to his wife " Look here, Laura! As we're early, why don't I take the
dog for a walk.”
"OK"
she said, turning to their daughter who was wedged in the back of the truck
along with the dog, and all the clutter of two days travel.
"Emma, be
a love and pop the dogs lead on, will you? No, silly, put it on the dog.”
