"De bird...Does 'e 'ave a c-crooked leg?"

he did not know why it mattered. only that it did matter. apparently deeply to his niece. quennell was faced with the chance to lie. to tell her they did that to the leg. that there were a million birds with a million crooked legs.

quennell dahomey-rivaini was a lot of things.

he was not a liar.

the bird had been important in some way or another.

irreplaceable.
