The sun was just going down when he let them go, and save the noise of the birds settling to rest the paddock was quiet. Dave was filled with emotion and enthusiastic thoughts about the ball. He threw the winkers down and looked around.
It was in the bright, lengthening days of April, when the bluebirds came fluttering out of fairy-land, that the old house finally stopped, and stood staring around it with its many eyes, wide open to the daylight, all its green winkers having been taken off, to see where it was and was likely to be for the rest of its days.

Now that is worth getting up to see." "Just then my chum lit the two Roman candles and I touched off the rocket, and that's where my eye winkers went.
