Vevi stubbornly shook her head. “Maybe I will find a good home for him.”
“Captain Tarwell might take Snow White.”
“He can’t be bothered with a bird and you know it.”
“Jamie would like to have my pigeon.”
“We don’t know what has become of Jamie. So you know he can’t look after the bird.”
“Maybe Mrs. Allison would like Snow White,” Vevi said hopefully. “She could keep him at her house on the water and he’d be happy there. I know! I’ll take him along this morning and ask her!”
“He’ll be in the way,” Connie said, trying to discourage her friend.
“I don’t care,” Vevi insisted. “I want Snow White to have a nice boat ride. Anyway, we won’t have much longer to be together.”
Connie said no more. So Vevi picked up the cage. On the way to the wharf, she carried it very carefully so as not to jar the pigeon.
