I harness the wind to turn my mill, Around, and around, and around with a will! Perhaps it was listening to the windmill song that made Kat say, "Why do we have windmills, father?" Kit and Kat said "Why?" every few steps on that walk. You see, they didn't often have their father all to themselves, to ask questions of.
Bride of Douglas," said one of us, "they will get their kail through the reek, for our guard is to lie in arms about the windmill, and be first in the field to-morrow."
