At last, on the first of May, a bright warm morning, he leaped from his bed at the sound of strange, sweet bird voices outside. There they were, the longed-for purple martins, sailing gracefully around the bird house, singing as they sailed. They examined the little dwelling inside and out, and a small colony of them, five pairs, decided to nest in it. Duncan had scored a triumph. The purple martin, largest and noblest of American swallows, after an absence of many years, had come back to Meriden.
最后，在五月一日，一个阳光明媚、温暖宜人的早晨，听到外面鸟儿奇怪而甜美的叫声，他从床上跳了起来。他们就在那里，渴望已久的紫燕，优雅地绕着鸟屋航行，一边航行一边唱歌。他们仔细检查了这个小房子的里里外外，有一小群，五对，决定在里面筑巢。邓肯取得了胜利。美国燕子中最大、最高贵的紫燕，在消失多年之后，又回到了梅里登。
