There will be twelve single birds. only twelve. Lucy is the ninth bird in this collection.

You seem like a good idea, Lucy. I will make you many colours, well. Do not worry, you will look a beauty. We won't have to stir for a while. Now, did you find a red you like? This is just for you. I will put you near the clock when you are dressed. Where this all so gentle, worn. Tick, Tick, Tick. Tea in the good cup on some particular days. You are not my educated lines. I have none. what I do have is a joy in learning nots.

Not long now, and then long. Not for a moment, and then forever. Not today, and then a thought again.

We are best spent, here. I have some tea.. and you are choosing reds. When there is no time at all.
