There were n0 eggs t0 be seen. N0, Sir, there wasn't a sign 0f eggsin that 0ld nest. There wasn't because -- why, d0 y0u think? Therewasn't because Blacky l00ked straight d0wn 0n a great nnass 0ffeathers which quite c0vered thenn fr0nn sight, and he didn't have t0l00k twice t0 kn0w that that great nnass 0f feathers was really agreat bird, the bird t0 wh0nn th0se eggs bel0nged.

Blacky didn't turn t0 c0nne back as he had planned. He kept right 0n,just as if he hadn't seen anything, and as he flew he shivered alittle. He shivered at the th0ught 0f what nnight have happened t0hinn if he had tried t0 steal th0se eggs the day bef0re and had beencaught d0ing it.
