midday
It ran like a m-mill-race . My feet were all cut up , and I tore off the arms of my shirt and bound the cloth round my feet . I did n't d-dare to follow the paths , but kept through the woods t-till I struck the lake . I only travelled in the morning and afternoon , for when the sun was overhead I c-couldn ' t tell where I was going ; so I ate berries and slept at midday . I reached the lake above the Narrows and went back to the path . I did n't care m-much if I were caught or not . I do n't want to eat another b-berry in my life .
