At the farmer's approach, Ian shuddered in recollection of the incident with the Villagers' Committee and hastened his departure.

Ian almost yelled in exasperation as the farmer's soil-crusted hand reached out with surprising vigor to grab his snow- white shirt.
Fortunately, a slender figure in the distance quickened her pace in Ian's direction at the commotion of his struggle.
