“
Oh
,
not
at
all
,
at
all
!
”
cried
Freckles
,
bursting
into
pure
brogue
in
his
haste
.
“
I
don
’
t
know
as
I
’
d
be
calling
them
exactly
pretty
,
and
they
do
move
like
a
rocking
-
horse
loping
,
but
they
are
so
big
and
fearless
.
They
have
a
fine
color
for
black
birds
,
and
their
feet
and
beaks
seem
so
strong
.
You
never
saw
anything
so
keen
as
their
eyes
!
And
fly
?
Why
,
just
think
,
sir
,
they
must
be
flying
miles
straight
up
,
for
they
were
out
of
sight
completely
when
the
feather
fell
.
I
don
’
t
suppose
I
’
ve
a
chicken
in
the
swamp
that
can
go
as
close
heaven
as
those
big
,
black
fellows
,
and
then
—
—
”
Freckles
’
voice
dragged
and
he
hesitated
.
“
Then
what
?
”
interestedly
urged
McLean
.
“
He
was
loving
her
so
,
”
answered
Freckles
in
a
hushed
voice
.
“
I
know
it
looked
awful
funny
,
and
I
laughed
and
told
on
him
,
but
if
I
’
d
taken
time
to
think
I
don
’
t
believe
I
’
d
have
done
it
.
You
see
,
I
’
ve
seen
such
a
little
bit
of
loving
in
me
life
.
You
easily
can
be
understanding
that
at
the
Home
it
was
every
day
the
old
story
of
neglect
and
desertion
.
Always
people
that
didn
’
t
even
care
enough
for
their
children
to
keep
them
,
so
you
see
,
sir
,
I
had
to
like
him
for
trying
so
hard
to
make
her
know
how
he
loved
her
.
Of
course
,
they
’
re
only
birds
,
but
if
they
are
caring
for
each
other
like
that
,
why
,
it
’
s
just
the
same
as
people
,
ain
’
t
it
?
”
Freckles
lifted
his
brave
,
steady
eyes
to
the
Boss
.
“
If
anybody
loved
me
like
that
,
Mr
.
McLean
,
I
wouldn
’
t
be
spending
any
time
on
how
they
looked
or
moved
.
All
I
’
d
be
thinking
of
would
be
how
they
felt
toward
me
.
If
they
will
stay
,
I
’
ll
be
caring
as
much
for
them
as
any
chickens
I
have
.
If
I
did
laugh
at
them
I
thought
he
was
just
fine
!
”
The
face
of
McLean
was
a
study
;
but
the
honest
eyes
of
the
boy
were
so
compelling
that
he
found
himself
answering
:
“
You
are
right
,
Freckles
.
He
’
s
a
gentleman
,
isn
’
t
he
?
And
the
only
real
chicken
you
have
.
Of
course
he
’
ll
remain
!
The
Limberlost
will
be
paradise
for
his
family
.
And
now
,
Freckles
,
what
has
been
the
trouble
all
spring
?
You
have
done
your
work
as
faithfully
as
anyone
could
ask
,
but
I
can
’
t
help
seeing
that
there
is
something
wrong
.
Are
you
tired
of
your
job
?
”
“
I
love
it
,
”
answered
Freckles
.
“
It
will
almost
break
me
heart
when
the
gang
comes
and
begins
tearing
up
the
swamp
and
scaring
away
me
chickens
.
”
“
Then
what
is
the
trouble
?
”
insisted
McLean
.
