It was a queer creature that one gradually discovered to be some sort of a bird; though such a one had never before been seen on land or sea.

Mona pats them reassuringly: and, flinging some fresh logs upon the fire, goes back once more to her old position, with her chin in the palm of one hand, whilst the other rests on the sleek head of Spice.,"When the Stanhopes built their home on the farm, which was then mostly woods, old Scroggie behaved somethin' awful.
