Forge post
Awake at night as so often, Teja had pondered that the notice offering his services was out-dated, so many new things had he learned in the year since he had hung it up. So, in the small hours before dawn, by the light of his oil lamps, he wrote a new one; and when he came down at first light for his tea, he hung it up on the notice-board:
Now, Teja is working in the forge, folding a small billet of silver, copper and bronze at his workbench. To show examples of his work made of folded precious metals, he should have a piece other than the dagger of bronze and silver, made long ago for defence against wolfmen. He is wearing his usual leather forge clothes -- breeches, sleeveless jerkin, heavy leather apron -- but even though the doors are wide open, the blazing forge-fire keeps him warm
The cats are playing in front of the open doors, daring each other to bat at the sprinkle of snow that is still on the ground, then jumping back hastily when they have done so; the forge is open to all comers, friends and strangers, customers and curious, alike.-
