There they set about to create their Never-Never Land. Self-conscious Aristocrat Clews carefully restored the chateau and gardens, stocked the whole place with white birds and animals (to his white pigeons he had tiny flutes fastened, which whistled musically as they flew), worked when he felt like it at sculpture, writing, painting...
