haynet

Firelight generally ate a bit of her haynet and by the time he settled down to go to sleep she lay down as well.

But then she fell to eating her haynet as usual, so he decided she had a touch of indigestion, and it had passed.

She kept walking round her box, sighing, and picking bits out of her haynet and dropping them on the floor.

It is almost as if he stood in his stable and worked it out while chewing his haynet - a bit like solutions sometimes come to us while we're soaking in the bath.
