oat straw

Cerca del mediodía, con la yegua ya seca y sentada erguida, con paja de avena colocada junto a sus flancos para sujetarla, Valerio volvió a la choza y avivó el fuego hasta que la habitación quedó tan caliente como antes, y se dispuso a preparar un caldo para que pudiera tomárselo un chico inconsciente.
Near noon, with the mare dried and sitting upright, with oat straw packed along her flanks to hold her square, Valerius returned to the bothy and built up the fire until the room was as warm as it ever was and set about preparing a broth that an unconscious boy could swallow.

No eran una gente directa, y la conversación de Valerio derivó, como exigía la cortesía, al bienestar de aquellos a quienes había ayudado o curado o armado y vestido, y en el curso de ella quedó claro que había una carreta de la que podía disponer, y que estaba recién cubierta con pieles de animales para mantener al chico seco y que estaba preparado ya un caballo de tiro recién castrado, adecuado para el viaje, y que había quesos de cabra de corteza dura ya empaquetados en paja de avena para mantener al chico caliente y para alimentar al caballo, y que se habían almacenado por todas partes pescado seco, carne de oveja y huevos frescos y unas jarra de agua, porque habían averiguado que el herrero, contrariamente a lo que parecía, no bebía ni el vino de los nativos ni la más sana cerveza de las tribus.
They were not direct people and Valerius’ conversation drifted, as courtesy demanded, to the welfare of those whom he had helped or healed or armed and clothed, and in the course of this it became apparent that there was a cart he might have that was newly covered with hides to keep the boy dry and that a newly gelded carthorse was fit and good for the journey and that there were hard-rinded goat’s cheeses already packed in the oat straw that would both keep the boy warm and feed the horse, and that a quantity of dried fish and mutton and fresh eggs and pitchers of water had been packed elsewhere, because it had been found early that the smith, contrary to all appearances, drank neither the wine of the Latins nor the more wholesome ale of the tribes.
