To achieve that means a realisation of my dream, namely, to fly in the air, to approach the sky, and have under one's feet the moist, down-like clouds.

The hen-bird, as is the case with all birds of prey, was considerably larger and stronger than her brother, though the latter had the finer head and eyes. A week after their capture they were "feathered" for the first time. This process consists in pulling out the long down-like plumes situated on the under side of the strong tail-feathers.
He doesn't; he looks as if he'd been at a ball all night. Plenty of partners, Dick? 'Never mind, Dick, says Maddie; 'go and make yourself comfortable in that room, and I'll have breakfast for you while you'd let a cow out of the bail. We don't forget our friends. 'If all our friends were as true as you, Maddie, I said, rather down-like, 'I shouldn't be here to-day.

At night a couple of sailors, tender as women, moved her in the cot to her cabin.
