Excerpt from After the Flood
Jim Crow had been feasting on green maize quite close to Cardinal Grosbeak's sitting-room in a stag sumac. When his corn meal was finished he perched on the fence that separated the field from the thicket, to polish his beak, and the Cardinal in his flaming suit, followed by a pair of his nestlings only two suns on wing, paused for a visit. Jim Crow gazed at Cardinal's brilliant plumage with envy.
"Trap me!" he cawed, "but I would love to know where you got that coat."
