Tell me
about the birds, Leslie. Just what is it you are studying?"
"The strains of our famous composers that are lifted bodily for measures
at a time, from the song of a bird or indisputably based upon it,"
answered Leslie.
"Did you and Nellie have any success?"
"Indeed yes! We had the royal luck to hear exactly the song I had hoped;
and besides we talked of many things and Nellie settled her future course
in her mind. When she went into the swamp alone and came out with an
armload of lavender fringed orchids she meant to carry to Elizabeth, and
her heart firmly resolved to begin a new life with you, she told me she
felt like flying; that never had she been so happy."
Leslie paused, glancing at James Minturn. He seemed puzzled: "I don't
understand. But nothing matters now. Tell me about the birds," he said.
"And it is what you admit you don't understand that I must tell you of,"
said Leslie. "I've been afraid, horribly afraid you didn't understand, and
that you took some course you wouldn't have taken if you did.
