Wart jumped for the sill and automatically gave himself an extrakick with his wings, just as a high jumper swings his arms. Helanded on the sill with a thump, as owls are apt to do, did not stophimself in time, and toppled straight out of the window. "This,"he thought to himself, cheerfully, "is where I break my neck." Itwas curious, but he was not taking life seriously. He felt thecastle walls streaking past him, and the ground and the moatswimming up. He kicked with his wings, and the ground sankagain, like water in a leaking well. In a second that kick of hiswings had lost its effect, and the ground was welling up. Hekicked again. It was strange, going forward with the earth ebbingand flowing beneath him, in the utter silence of his down-fringedfeathers.
