“Learning to care for the leveret was a process of experimentation, painstakingly hand-feeding it with powdered kitten milk, which it consumed in microscopic quantities. Warm and soft and almost weightless, it fitted easily within the curve of my hand. I moved it to a bedroom at the farthest end of the barn, where I thought it would be least disturbed, and with a door opening on to the enclosed inner garden. I cut a hole in the side of its box, so the leveret could come and go as it wished.”
