Punchbowl Midnight

Punchbowl Midnight, with her slanting, velvety eyes, was beautiful, and to Dion she was like no other calf, for he had assisted at her birth. When she escaped, he and the rest of the Thorntons were nearly distracted with fear that they would never find her again. They had other anxieties too for the wild deer were coming in from the Punch Bowl and trampling the young growing corn. With the true farmer's instinct for preserving his crops, Dion threatened to shoot the deer.
