Toby declared they have a day of rest. "Today should be Sunday," he announced, "We need the rest and we need to honor the Lord's Day. Devotions will be read tonight when we assemble for supper."

Milo took his socks to the small stream, and washed them out. As he sloshed and rubbed, he heard the tuneless whistle that Seamus often used, as the big man sat on the bank and unlaced his boots. It was abundantly clear that the man needed clean socks, from the ripe odor wafting around his feet.

"Are your feet in good enough condition to be walking?" Milo glanced at the piper, and then looked at his feet. They were in terrible shape. White puckery skin looked like it had been burned, and indeed it had, as Seamus had explained. "Me own boots took a flyer with the big wind. I found these, but whatever the leather was tanned with, tis eatin me feet."

Milo looked at the outside of the leather boot and couldn't decide what type leather it was. "Why don't you put your feet in the water and wash what ever type of tanning acid was used, off. What size boot do you wear, we'll be on the lookout for replacements. These puppies need to be aired out," and Milo found two heavy sticks and pushed them in the ground and upended the boots to rest upside down and air out.

"Me feet are a sizeable 15," Seamus eased his feet into the water, his kilt covering his knees but leaving two tree stump looking legs extended over the small pool.

Milo just nodded silently. Chances were real slim they would ever find boots and shoes to fit the man.

Thanks Pac. Size 15 huh? Might be a wee problem there.

Thank you Mrs. PAC

Pity they couldn't find a old tire and cut out some ho chi min sandles for him.

Then if no socks to that sock wrap thing the russians did with just a long piece of cloth. Sorry I forget the right name for that.

Might be better than nothing and the boots could be soaked and let air dry and maybe made a bit better with some airing out time.

Thanks again
