DURING the next few days, the weather continuing fine, May was a constant visitor at Rowley Cottage, coming and going as she pleased. She spent most of her time with her grandfather and Billy in the garden, but sometimes she would leave them and wander about the orchard with the live-stock there. She had no fear of any living creature, and even the big, grey gander, which hissed so fiercely, would eat from her hand.
"She's not like any other little girl I ever knew," Billy remarked to his grandfather one evening, as they sat on the settle by the kitchen fire, Scout asleep at their feet, discussing May, who had gone home shortly before tea.
