"That's jest what I thought," said Billy. "I'll darken it some." She bent and gave the dogs a farewell pat; then moved like the spirit of the moonlight to the house. "Good night," she called softly from the doorway. "Birds of exquisite plumage, and beyond all forms of known grace in flight." "Well, let's hear you, then.".
