were made from the heeces OF their
own sheep, spun and woven by the
good wives during the long winter
nights and dyed from the simple dyes
made from the lIchens which grew on
the stems Of trees or on the powders
OF rock in the neighbOrhOOd. The
whisky they drank came from secret
stills ON the hillside and had never
