Things
turned
out
just
as
was
expected.
The
Little
Lady
surrendered
to
Arnaux
and
the
Available
Lady
to
the
Big
Blue.
Two
nests
were
begun
and
everything
shaped
for
a
"lived
happily
ever
after."
But
the
Big
Blue
was
very
big
and
handsome.
He
could
blow
out
his
crop
and
strut
in
the
sun
and
make
rainbows
all
round
his
neck
in
a
way
that
might
turn
the
heart
of
the
staidest
Homerine.
Arnaux,
though
sturdily
built,
was
small
and
except
for
his
brilliant
eyes,
not
especially
good-looking.
Moreover,
he
was
often
away
on
important
business,
and
the
Big
Blue
had
nothing
to
do
but
stay
around
the
loft
and
display
his
unlettered
wings.
It
is
the
custom
of
moralists
to
point
to
the
lower
animals,
and
especially
to
the
Pigeon,
for
examples
of
love
and
constancy,
and
properly
so,
but,
alas
there
are
exceptions.
Vice
is
not
by
any
means
limited
to
the
human
race.
Arnaux's
wife
had
been
deeply
impressed
with
the
Big
Blue,
at
the
outset,
and
at
length
while
her
spouse
was
absent
the
dreadful
thing
took
place.
