Chains

The sack of iron chain in the storeroom was too heavy to move. You would have to haul the lengths out and around the tight corner to get anywhere. In the bottom of the sack there were a few loose links, and those were all we needed for the job. Someone said we should cut a hole in the sack to get at them, and perhaps we should have. There was a sack of spare sacks in the storeroom. But I wanted to pull it all out, link by link by link.
