And May Nell stopped suddenly, smiled, and finished, “And God heard me; and Billy rescued me.”，Croaker balanced himself by flopping one short wing and laughed at the hisses of the angered owls. He hopped from his perch to the peak of the shanty as Billy reached for him and there he sat, demurely turning his head from one side to the other and muttering low in his throat.，Croaker paused for a moment in the edge of the grove to look back at Billy.
