Sometimes we passed whole days under the leafy covert of the forest with our books and music.

Sometimes we heard the howl of coyotes and the noise of other wild animals, and then none of the children were allowed to leave the carreta. Then they were spread out to dry on the tops of the low bushes growing on the warm, windless southern slopes of the mountain."
It wasn't by any means a windless day; there was a brisk, fluctuating breeze blowing out of the north over the downs. It seemed hardly to affect our flight at all. And as for the giddiness of looking down, one does not feel it at all. It is difficult to explain why this should be so, but it is so.

In the windless tropical night the words came clearly to their ears: A trader sailed from Stepney Town, Wake her up! Shake her up! Try her with the mainsail! A trader sailed from Stepney Town With a keg full of gold and a velvet gown. Ho, the bully Rover Jack, Waiting with his yard aback Out upon the Lowland Sea. The two boon companions sat listening in silence.
