letters our-time

time dark blue
The large shiny black forehead of the first whale was no more than two yards from us when it sank beneath the surface of the water, then we saw the huge blue-black bulk glide quietly under the raft right beneath our feet.

I am not so gifted as at one time seemed likely.
