Episode 5 - Chapter 73


 One of the women breaks away from the group, heading toward a stall selling all manner of biscuits, from the very large to the very small.

“Come-Bye” shouts the voice, and the dog runs a circle round the whole group, gradually decreasing its diameter to herd all four women together again.

“Walk Up,” shouts the voice again when the women are back together. The dog once more advances steadily towards the women, pushing them back to what Raven sees is a much bigger group. Another dog circles this bigger group, running here and there unprompted to keep them together.

“What on earth? Raven asks.

“That's the Granny Wrangler,” the guide tells him, “Herding grannies to market.”
