From this roadside I have seldom heard the corncrake, and never once the grasshopper lark. These two birds are so characteristic of the meadows in southwestern counties that a summer evening seems silent to me without the "crake, crake!" of the one and the singular sibilous rattle of the other.
For a long minute the two stared. "Shelby?" The words dropped from her lips in a sibilous crescendo as her blood drove her to a display of emotion. Cousin's hands slowly advanced and pushed back the long locks. He advanced his face close to hers, and I knew his slight form was trembling. Then he staggered back and jerkily brought his arm across his eyes. "God! It's my sister!" I heard him mutter.
