The Five Jars

You remember that you were puzzled when I told you I had heard some thing from the owls or if not puzzled (for I know you have some experience of these things), you were at any rate anxious to know exactly how it happened. Perhaps the time has now come for you to be told. It was really luck, and not any skill of mine, that put me in the way of it; luck, and also being ready to believe more than I could see. I have promised not to put down on paper the name of the wood where it happened :that can keep till we meet; but all the rest I can tell exactly as it came about.
