Freeing Grace
“I didn’t see Perry at all during the day, but Matt stopped to give me a hand on his way in from school. That cheerful weatherman had known his stuff, when he predicted mayhem. A hell of a wind had got up. The boughs of the trees in the lane were doing a giant Mexican wave. I could hear them creaking and groaning, and bits of twigs and leaves started whizzing about. If you leaned forward with your arms spread out, the wind actually held you upright. Both of us were tottering around like drunken ...sailors, and I had to shout to make Matt hear me.

Between us we managed to force the front door shut, but the wind still wailed eerily underneath it like a desolate banshee.MoreLess
