Twice a day she took them out to feed in the marshy places, let them waddle and gobble for an hour or two, and then drove them back and shut them up in a small dark shed to digest their meal, whence they gave forth occasionally a melancholy quack.
"There's a child among the artichokes," she said. "The Plagues of Egyp'! I'll see to them!" cried the gardener truculently, and with a hurried waddle disappeared among the evergreens. That moment she turned, she came running towards me, her arms stretched out, her face incarnadined for the one moment with heavenly blushes, the next pale as death. "Monsieur de Saint-Yves!" she said.
"You keep up your professional work as a side issue?" he asked abruptly. "Oh, no! But sometimes I waddle for the fun of it. Under advice," David smiled at Esther, "of a very good fairy."
