- No.

- No.

- Not like you were that time, just a year ago, when you first brought the wounded princess home to me?

- No.

- I'm glad. Now we shall have the princess with us all through the winter again. And not until next spring will she fly away again and leave us.

- Each winter the snow goose returned and stayed.

- The world outside boiled and seethed and rumbled with rumors of a coming war, for these were the 1930s.

- They caught wildfowl together for their ever-increasing colony, and built new pens and enclosures to house them till the summer took them north once more.

- Frith herself stayed away, and Rhayader was alone again.
