carefully, then taking her paddle, knelt down in the bow. A few long,
swift strokes, and the canoe shot out over the lake, and rested like a
great white bird with folded wings, then glided slowly on again. It was
a pity there was none to see, for the picture was a fair one: the
stately maiden kneeling, her golden hair sweeping about her, her white
arms rising and falling slowly, rhythmically, in perfect grace.

"Tu-whoo!" said the Snowy Owl.

But only the loon answered her.
