I had no hope of being rescued, until I saw the green grass coming up by the spring on the hillside, and the wild geese coming to nibble it. The birds were coming back to their breeding grounds, and I felt that I could kill them for food. I also had plenty of tobacco and a good meerschaum pipe, and almost the only solace I enjoyed was smoking.

So I guess the title was a sort of association with the fate of Mallory. <br /><br />Thanks Blake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
