Bernard Cornwell Quote

How many’s that? I asked the shepherd. Jiggit and mumph, lord, he said. Is that enough? It’s enough, lord. Kill the rest then, I said. Jiggit and mumph? Willibald asked, still shivering. Twenty and five, I said. Yain, tain, tether, mether, mumph. It’s how shepherds count. I don’t know why. The world is full of mystery.
