"Some business to attend to, my boy." Muttering under its breath something that sounded like "tail feathers, indeed!" the Phoenix soared off. And David, stiff and sore and thoroughly tired, started down the mountainside for home. SOME BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO MY BOY MUTTERING UNDER ITS BREATH SOMETHING THAT SOUNDED LIKE TAIL FEATHERS INDEED THE PHOENIX SOARED OFFF AND DAVID STIFF AND SORE AND THOROUGHLY TIRED STARTED DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE FOR HOME
ow like a cluster of flies ... now like gnats. And then they had faded out of sight, and David and the Phoenix were streaking over the grassland alone. Ten minutes later they reached a shore and landed. They flopped on the sand, panting. And David, suddenly feeling very faint, closed his eyes and put his head between his knees. After they had got their breath, the Phoenix patted David on the shoulder and said huskily: "I congratulate you, my boy. Your plan was magnificent--precisely what _I_ should have done, had I thought of it first. Needless to say, we shall not go on looking for the Gryffins. But now you know exactly what they are like: midway in size between the Gryffens and Gryffons, and reddish in color. Most amiable souls, willing to do anything for anyone. It is hard to believe that they are all related. But enough, my boy. Let us go home." As soon as they reached the ledge, the Phoenix put David down and prepared to take off again. "Where are you going, Phoenix?" David asked.
