They're lost and storm-driven and harried, like the lost princess was when you found her, and brought her to me from the marshes that time we healed her, you remember?

Quote context

[...]

- Well, they can do something. Get the men off the beaches to the transports and destroyers that are standing offshore, that can't get into the shallows.

- You see, that's what I can do. Six or seven men at a time. Get them off the beaches.

- Philip, must you go? You'll not come back. Why must it be you?

- Oh, no, listen. Those men are huddled on the beaches like hunted birds. You know, the wounded and the hunted birds we used to find and bring into the sanctuary.

- Over them are flying the planes like steel peregrines, hawks and falcons. There's no shelter in which to hide.

- They're lost and storm-driven and harried, like the lost princess was when you found her, and brought her to me from the marshes that time we healed her, you remember?

- You're not... You're bad arm, Philip.

- This is something I can do. You know I can. Just for once I can be a man and play my part.

- I'll come with you.

- No, no, no. Your place in the boat would cause a soldier to be left behind, and another, and another.

- No, I must go. Goodbye, my dear. Now, will you look after the birds until I return?

- Yes, I'll take care of them.

- Godspeed, Philip.

Where did she come from, did you say? -From Canada. That's a land far, far across the seas. Beautiful daughter of England.

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.
