Atalapha, a Winged Brownie 
pond east of Marcy you will marvel when the 
Winged Brownies come. They are there in merry 
hordes; the least come first, and quite late in the 
evening, if you watch, you will see a long-winged 
Bat in velvet fur of silver-brown with a silver bar 
on either shoulder. Still later in the season, if 
you have wonderful eyes, you may see flying with 
her two others of the royal blood, with orange fur 
and silver on the shoulders, only in their case the 
silver is complete and goes right across, exactly 
as it does on Atalapha.
