"At what hour?" He turned back toward the house, then paused as the mellow "whirt-o-whirt" of a quail sounded from the sumach which bordered the meadow across the road.

Only note safe fer you to whistle is 'Bob White'—but you won't be whistlin' that till spring comes ag'in." "You black, thievin' passel of impudence, you!" she was saying.
