I had n't noticed it until I started to set them in order a minute ago . '' He buried his bill in the feathers of his breast . `` Yes , sir , '' said he in a muffled voice , `` they are coming in thicker than I ever knew them to before . There is a lot of down around the roots of them . I am going to have the warmest coat I 've ever had . ''
