The crow was carrying on a murmured conversation with himself, flapping his wings, nodding his head sagely and in other ways manifesting his eagerness to accommodate his master.

Straight through the grove, across the green valley and on through the stumpy fallow went the crow, Billy panting and perspiring behind.
