Quote context

[...]

- She's quite a young bird. No more than a year old, I'd say.

- She's born up there in northern Canada, and when she flew south to escape the snow and ice and bitter cold, a great storm must have seized her and whirled and buffeted her about.

- At last, exhausted by her ordeal, she sank to rest in this friendly green marsh only to be shot at by a hunter's gun.

- A bitter reception for a visiting princess.

- Is she really a princess?

- Of course she is. A princess among birds.

- We'll call her La Princesse Perdue, the lost princess.

- In a few days, she'll be feeling much better, won't you, princess?

- Gee, watch her eat up this grain I've got for her.

- Why, the poor princess must be nearly starving.

- Look, she's gobbling it all up in your hand.

- I must be going.

- No, wait a minute.

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