There were two large white eggs, and Peter lifted them up and reflected. The bird covered her face with her wings, so as not to see the last of her eggs; but she could not help peeping between the feathers.

?' Peter answered. 'Why don't you let the nest drift as usual?' 'I--want--you--' the bird said, and repeated it all over. Then Peter tried slow and distinct. 'What--are--you--quacking--about?' and so on. The Never bird became irritated; they have very short tempers. 'You dunderheaded little jay,' she screamed, 'why don't you do as I tell you?' Peter felt that she was calling him names, and at a venture he retorted hotly: 'So are you!' Then rather curiously they both snapped out the same remark: 'Shut up!' 'Shut up!' Nevertheless the bird was determined to save him if she could, and by one last mighty effort she propelled the nest against the rock. Then up she flew; deserting her eggs, so as to make her meaning clear. Then at last he understood, and clutched the nest and waved his thanks to the bird as she fluttered overhead. It was not to receive his thanks, however, that she hung there in the sky; it was not even to watch him get into the nest; it was to see what he did with her eggs.
