Quote context

[...]

- But now that the winter was over, Snow Goose was quite well again.

- It had been limping about the enclosure with the wild pink-footed geese by Christmas time.

- And now that it was June again, it would fly away.

- Yes. Very soon we shall see the last of our princess. Aren't you sorry?

- Aye.

- Must she go then?

- Yes. Her instinct will call her back to Canada now that the summer has come again. That is, if she can never fly back to Canada when she leaves here.

- Couldn't we stop her flying away?

- Oh, yes, we could. But you wouldn't want us to do that, would you?

- Don't you want her to feel free? Free to go where she wants to be? Free to do what she wants to do? We don't want to make the princess a prisoner, do we?

- No.

- No.

- Now look at these pink feet there. They're so fat and well-fed, they've got quite lazy.

- All their friends have migrated north weeks ago.

- Go on! Go on off with you! Off to the north! Go on off to the north! Off to your friends!
