The Awakening - Paperback

by Kate Chopin (Author)

A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over: "Allez vous-en Allez vous-en Sapristi That's all right " He could speak a little Spanish, and also a language which nobody understood, unless it was the mocking-bird that hung on the other side of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening persistence.
