- I think she must have summered in Greenland or Spitsbergen with the pink-feet, and she must have remembered us and returned to see us.

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

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

- Are you, Frith?

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

- Each winter the snow goose returned and stayed.

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.
