"I believe, Doctor," said the dean, interrupting in an undertone, "that you cannot impose a penalty in this matter." "Ay, but I can. 'Singing-birds, says the statute, 'are forbidden within the wall."

But still the air was hot and sultry, and no cool breath blew upon him; and if he looked off for a moment from his book, the fair form of the tempter stood again beside him in silver light; the cold water sparkled close to his lips; and trees with shady boughs waving backward and forward over fresh green grass, and full, in every spray, of singing-birds, seemed to spring up around him.

"Karkapaha is a thief," said the White Crane. "It is the father of Tatokah that says it," answered the lover, "else would Karkapaha say it was the song of a bird that has flown over." "My warriors say it." "Your warriors are singing-birds; they are wrens. Karkapaha says they do not speak the truth. Karkapaha has a brave heart and the strength of a bear. Let the braves try him.
