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.

- Are you, Frith?

- 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.

- 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.

- But when that happened, and the princess herself flew off once more, it was as though some kind of bar was between them.

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.
Blimy, look at that ruddy goose flying round and round. -Told you it was a good omen. It's a blinking angel of mercy. That's what it is.
They said if you saw the flying wild goose you'd be saved. It's a sort of good luck omen.
