Ernest Thompson Seton
57
When
the
storied
feathers
of
his
wings
began
their
annual
moult,
his
jailer
saved
them
as
precious
things,
and
as
each
new
feather
came
he
reproduced
on
it
the
record
of
its
owner's
fame.
Two
years
went
slowly
by,
and
the
jailer
had
put
Arnaux
in
a
new
loft
and
brought
in
another
lady
Pigeon.
By
chance
she
closely
resembled
the
faithless
one
at
home.
Arnaux
actually
heeded
the
newcomer.
Once
the
jailer
thought
he
saw
his
famous
prisoner
paying
some
slight
attention
to
the
charmer,
and,
yes,
he
surely
saw
her
preparing
a
nest.
Then
assuming
that
they
had
reached
a
full
understanding,
the
jailer,
for
the
first
time,
opened
the
outlet,
and
Arnaux
was
free.
Did
he
hang
around
in
doubt?
Did
he
hesitate?
No,
not
for
one
moment.
As
soon
as
the
drop
of
the
door
left
open
the
way,
he
shot
through,
he
spread
those
wonderful
blazoned
wings,
and,
with
no
second
thought
for
the
latest
Circe,
sprang
from
the
hated
prison
loft--away
and
away.
