She ended by leaving the table and retiring precipitately to her own tiny room in the lean-to where she buried her face as deep as it would go in a puffy pillow of wild duck feathers. He, poor devil, could not be expected to know just what had amused her so; he did know that it somehow concerned himself, however.
There is a spring, a squawk, a horrid red patch on the snow, and the incident is closed. Nothing can stop these silly birds.
