Elizabeth George Speare Quote
Who would guess, he teased, that I'd ever see you on a rooftop with straw in your hair?Kit giggled. Are you saying I've turned into a crow?Not exactly. His eyes were intensely blue with merriment. I can still see the green feathers if I look hard enough. But they've done their best to make you into a sparrow, haven't they?
