“
On
me
soul
!
”
said
Freckles
,
“
you
are
kind
to
be
thinking
it
.
You
are
doubly
kind
to
be
saying
it
.
”
The
curtains
parted
and
a
woman
came
toward
them
.
Her
silks
and
laces
trailed
across
the
polished
floors
.
The
lights
gleamed
on
her
neck
and
arms
,
and
flashed
from
rare
jewels
.
She
was
smiling
brightly
;
and
until
she
spoke
,
Freckles
had
not
realized
fully
that
it
was
his
loved
Bird
Woman
.
Noticing
his
bewilderment
,
she
cried
:
“
Why
,
Freckles
!
Don
’
t
you
know
me
in
my
war
clothes
?
”
“
I
do
in
the
uniform
in
which
you
fight
the
Limberlost
,
”
said
Freckles
.
The
Bird
Woman
laughed
.
Then
he
told
her
why
he
had
come
,
but
she
scarcely
could
believe
him
.
She
could
not
say
exactly
when
she
would
go
,
but
she
would
make
it
as
soon
as
possible
,
for
she
was
most
anxious
for
the
study
.
While
they
talked
,
the
Angel
was
busy
packing
a
box
of
sandwiches
,
cake
,
fruit
,
and
flowers
.
She
gave
him
a
last
frosty
glass
,
thanked
him
repeatedly
for
bringing
news
of
new
material
;
then
Freckles
went
into
the
night
.
He
rode
toward
the
Limberlost
with
his
eyes
on
the
stars
.
Presently
he
removed
his
hat
,
hung
it
to
his
belt
,
and
ruffled
his
hair
to
the
sweep
of
the
night
wind
.
He
filled
the
air
all
the
way
with
snatches
of
oratorios
,
gospel
hymns
,
and
dialect
and
coon
songs
,
in
a
startlingly
varied
programme
.
The
one
thing
Freckles
knew
that
he
could
do
was
to
sing
.
The
Duncans
heard
him
coming
a
mile
up
the
corduroy
and
could
not
believe
their
senses
.
Freckles
unfastened
the
box
from
his
belt
,
and
gave
Mrs
.
Duncan
and
the
children
all
the
eatables
it
contained
,
except
one
big
piece
of
cake
that
he
carried
to
the
sweet
-
loving
Duncan
.
He
put
the
flowers
back
in
the
box
and
set
it
among
his
books
.
He
did
not
say
anything
,
but
they
understood
it
was
not
to
be
touched
.
“
Thae
’
s
Freckles
’
flow
’
rs
,
”
said
a
tiny
Scotsman
,
“
but
,
”
he
added
cheerfully
,
“
it
’
s
oor
sweeties
!
”
Freckles
’
face
slowly
flushed
as
he
took
Duncan
’
s
cake
and
started
toward
the
swamp
.
While
Duncan
ate
,
Freckles
told
him
something
about
the
evening
,
as
well
as
he
could
find
words
to
express
himself
,
and
the
big
man
was
so
amazed
he
kept
forgetting
the
treat
in
his
hands
.
Then
Freckles
mounted
his
wheel
and
began
a
spin
that
terminated
only
when
the
biggest
Plymouth
Rock
in
Duncan
’
s
coop
saluted
a
new
day
,
and
long
lines
of
light
reddened
the
east
.
As
he
rode
he
sang
,
while
he
sang
he
worshiped
,
but
the
god
he
tried
to
glorify
was
a
dim
and
faraway
mystery
.
The
Angel
was
warm
flesh
and
blood
.
