Quote context

[...]

- Oh, good, kind princess, coming back to see us all that way.

- Yes.

- You see, it means that she isn't afraid of us anymore. Not even afraid of me.

- 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.

- But the rumors meant little to Rhayader or Frith.

- When the snow goose was at the lighthouse, Frith came too.

- She sailed with Rhayader in the little sailboat he handled so skilfully, despite his withered arm.

- 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.
