It had lost some of its bloom and youthful curves, and there were fine, patient lines about eyes and mouth. A tiny grave in that very cemetery accounted for some of them; and some new ones had come during the recent illness, now happily over, of her little son.

As it nibbled from his fingers, he used to stroke its head, at which the bird appeared to enter a state of ecstasy.

This was a very good lesson in how to make friends: not by force but by compassion."
