Quote context

- May was at its end, and the day, too, in a long golden twilight that was giving way to the silver of the moon already hanging in the eastern sky.

- She told herself, as her steps took her thither, that she must know whether the snow goose had really stayed as Rhayader had said it would. Perhaps it had flown away after all.

- But her firm tread on the seawall was full of eagerness, and sometimes unconsciously she found herself hurrying.

- Frith! Oh, I'm glad you came.

- Yes, yes, I must go away. A little trip. I'll come back, never fear.

- But where must you go?

- Over the channel to Dunkirk.

- Over the channel? You mean to France?

- Yes, it's only about a hundred miles.

They said if you saw the flying wild goose you'd be saved. It's a sort of good luck omen.
