Freckles

CHAPTER XVIII
17/43

"Then there's your singing.

I don't believe there ever was a mortal with a sweeter voice than yours, and while that doesn't prove anything, there is a point that does.

The little training you had from that choirmaster won't account for the wonderful accent and ease with which you sing.
Somewhere in your close blood is a marvelously trained vocalist; we every one of us believe that, Freckles.
"Why does my father refer to you constantly as being of fine perceptions and honor?
Because you are, Freckles.

Why does the Bird Woman leave her precious work and come here to help look after you?
I never heard of her losing any time over anyone else.

It's because she loves you.
