"Apakah saya pernah memberi tahu Anda, 'kata Lymond berhenti di renungan, dalam perjalanan ke flap,' bahwa bibi saya pernah menetaskan telur? ' Dia berhenti, tenggelam dalam pikirannya, dan berjalan perlahan ke pintu sebelum berbalik lagi. Ketuhanannya dari Aubigny, menatap sosok kakaknya yang lenyap, menerima senyum penuh kemegahan Lymond. "Itu cuckoo," kata Francis Crawford dengan santai, dan mengikuti Lennox keluar."

Did I ever tell you,’ said Lymond pausing on the afterthought, on his way to the flap, ‘that that aunt of mine once hatched an egg?’ He paused, deep in thought, and walked slowly to the door before turning again. His lordship of Aubigny, staring after the vanishing form of his brother, received the full splendour of Lymond’s smile. ‘It was a cuckoo,’ said Francis Crawford prosaically, and followed Lennox out.
