“Therewith hastened the Kagu into the shadowy hall, moving softly and rolling a little in her gait, with her head thrust forward⟳; and a little flurried was she in her bearing as she darted this way and that her large and beautiful eyes, mild and timid, that were like⟳ liquid gold heated to redness. Somewhat like⟳ a heron she was, but stouter, and shorter of leg, and her beak shorter and thicker than the heron’s; and so long and delicate was her pale gray plumage that hard it was to say⟳ whether it were hair or feathers.”
