Quote context

[...]

- Her imagination was captured by the presence of this strange white princess from a land far across the sea.

- He had shown her the land on a map. It was pink all over.

- And on the map, they had traced the stormy path of the lost bird from its home in Canada to the great marsh of Essex.

- But now that the winter was over, Snow Goose was quite well again.

- It had been limping about the enclosure with the wild pink-footed geese by Christmas time.

- And now that it was June again, it would fly away.

- Yes. Very soon we shall see the last of our princess. Aren't you sorry?

- Aye.

- Must she go then?

- Yes. Her instinct will call her back to Canada now that the summer has come again. That is, if she can never fly back to Canada when she leaves here.

- Couldn't we stop her flying away?

- Oh, yes, we could. But you wouldn't want us to do that, would you?

- Don't you want her to feel free? Free to go where she wants to be? Free to do what she wants to do? We don't want to make the princess a prisoner, do we?

- No.

- No.

- Now look at these pink feet there. They're so fat and well-fed, they've got quite lazy.

Where did she come from, did you say? -From Canada. That's a land far, far across the seas. Beautiful daughter of England.
We'll call her La Princesse Perdue, the lost princess.
Yes. Seems a long time ago, doesn't it? -A long time ago. All the way between childhood and being grown up.
The marsh is desolate, utterly lonely, and made lonelier by the calls and cries of the wild fowl that make their homes in the saltings.
Don't you want her to feel free? Free to go where she wants to be? Free to do what she wants to do? We don't want to make the princess a prisoner, do we? -No. -No.
