The doves flew about her, lighting, struggling for footing on her shoulder and curls; and she shook her head, laughing: "Chrr-rp away with you! Would you pluck my hair and line your nests with my curls! Pischt away with you!" she flung out the crumbs again. "There eat, my pretty ones eat!" Below, the great wheel turned and splashed in the water with a whirr, buzzing.
And she held out her hands as if coaxing: "Come, my doves! Chrr-rp!" One with fawn-coloured wings came flying and lighted on her shoulder; another followed. "Come chrr-rp!" The soft little bodies huddled against one another on the sill, pressing closer; some on her arm and some eating out of her hand. She stroked their bright plumage, holding a crumb between her teeth. "Chrr-rp chrr-rp!"
It was close to your cheek, and you were feeding it from your lips." "Yes," said Kaya, "Yes. It is sweet to be able to feed them. You have fed us both, dear Master." She turned her head slightly, smiling up at him. "Turn your head further, Kaya; let me see your face." "The dove has come back. How can I? There move a little, my dove chrr-rp! Go away! No, he clings! See I cannot!
"Dear doves," said Kaya, "You are hungry, and when you come to me for bread you find nothing but the stone. Chrr-rp!" She whistled softly and held her hands over the sill, dropping crumbs: "Chrr-rp! Come, pretty doves, and eat!" The birds came nearer, eying her out of their bright eyes with little runs forward, then circling and cooing again. "Chrr-rp!" she called, "Chrr-rp! Come!"
The dove on her shoulder stretched his wings, pressing against her cheek with his breast, tipping forward on his pink feet, until his beak reached the crumb and he took it from her lips. "Chrr-rp chrr-rp!" Kaya laughed softly, rubbing her cheek against the down of the bird; whistling and coaxing with her hands.
