The babies were scooped from the air, and with another quickly muttered spell there appeared a pair of elegant white geese with long graceful necks, who clasped the handles of those baskets in their black beaks. They lifted the children into the air and flew quickly away.

The Faerie Princess and her ladies had hesitated to see the babies floating in the air. It did seem they meant the infants no harm and if that was so, Tamara might have protected herself simply by keeping the children with her. But she would never have put the babies at risk for her own sake.
