Its red roof flared above the purple shadows cast by its walls. In the fathomless blue above a buzzard sailed majestically down an air current, and hovered motionless over the lonely outpost of civilization. Within the station a telegraph-sounder chattered and chirruped. 'Ole Man' Terrill was at the instrument.
The first glass, as first glasses will, thawed the bearded man, to the extent of inducing him to try and pick up the fragments of the conversation which he had shattered. 'I am afraid you will have thought me abrupt, Mr Birdsey, he said awkwardly; 'but then you haven't lived in Algiers for five years, and I have. Mr Birdsey chirruped sympathetically. 'I liked it at first.

"Good-night," said Dawney, and walked out.... Three days later Harz was sitting in the window of his studio.

Surely there must be somebody about.
Looking to the south all the trees were green in the fullness of summer, and the day cicala and the night cricket chirruped loudly. Looking to the west the autumn maples were ablaze like a sunset sky, and the chrysanthemums were in perfection.
Among low bushes and in clearings there are often little grey birds which constantly flit from tree to tree, and which whistle as they dart away. Kassyan mimicked them, answered their calls; a young quail flew from between his feet, chirruping, and he chirruped in imitation of him; a lark began to fly down above him, moving his wings and singing melodiously: Kassyan joined in his song.
