Most birds, you know, make a swishing with their wings, which you can hear when you are close to them (sometimes when a good way off too, like the peewit), but this bird made none at all. "Oh!" cried Tommy Smith, "whatever was that?" MOST BIRDS YOU KNOW MAKE A SWISHING WITH THEIR WINGS WHICH YOU CAN HEAR WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE TO THEM SOMETIMES WHEN THEY ARE A GOOD WAY OFF TOO LIKE THE PEWIT BUT THIS BIRD MADE NONE AT ALL OH CRIED TOMMY SMITH WHATEVER WAS THAT
soon he was quite out of sight. And he never came back—at least not whilst Tommy Smith was there. I think he must have come back at _some_ time or other, to sit in his little summer-house again with his wife and children. But Tommy Smith had not time enough to wait for him; so, as soon as he was sure that he was really gone, he walked away to his friend the woodpigeon. CHAPTER XI. THE BARN-OWL “_In at Tommy Smith’s window the owl has a peep; He talks to him wisely, and leaves him asleep._” IT was just the very exact time for a little boy like Tommy Smith to have been in bed for about five minutes (your mother will know _what_ time it was); so, of course, he _had_ been in bed for about five minutes, and he wasn’t asleep yet. It was a beautiful night, the window was open a little at the top, and Tommy Smith was looking through it, right away to where the moon and the stars were shining. All at once a great white bird flitted across the window—so silently!—without making any noise at all.
