The first bird woke at his feet and at once a flock of them sprang into the air calling
shrilly that day had come; and suddenly, behind him, the bush woke into song, and he
could hear the guinea fowl calling far ahead of him. That meant they would now be
sailing down from their trees into thick grass, and it was for them he had come: he was
too late. But he did not mind. He forgot he had come to shoot. He set his legs wide, and
balanced from foot to foot, and swung his gun up and down in both hands horizontally, in
a kind of improvised exercise, and let his head sink back till it was pillowed in his neck
muscles, and watched how above him small rosy clouds floated in a lake of gold.
