Then he turned again to the group. 'Get up then, Maggie, lass, get up wi' thee. Tha ma'es too much o' th'bod. A young man approached, wearing rough khaki and kneebreeches.
"Only, you see, cuckoo, I never tell anybody about what I see when I am with you." "No," replied the cuckoo; "better not. "No, I don't think I am," she replied. "But, cuckoo, isn't this sea awfully big?" "Pretty well," said the cuckoo.
