Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- God bless you, Frith.

- It was night now, bright with moon fragment and stars and northern glow.

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.
Perhaps that's why the birds are leaving so early this spring. They're afraid of the planes. -Yes, they're leaving us to fend for ourselves.
It's Old Nick himself. We must be dead and we don't know it.
