Charlie stands too, and glances back at the turtle statue.

"See the TURTLE of enormous girth," she quotes softly;

"On his shell he holds the Earth.
His thought is slow but always kind;
He holds us all within his mind.
On his back all vows are made;
He sees the truth but mayn't aid.
He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me."

A pause, and she holds out her hand to Bev.
