The sun came out and drove the Rainbow away, and before Poly wakened, I stole out and transformed her into a canary-bird in a gold cage studded with diamonds.

The cage was so she couldn't fly away.

I expected she'd sing and talk and we'd have good times together; but she has proved no company for me at all.

Ever since the moment of her transformation, she has refused to speak a single word." "Where is she now ?" inquired Woot, who had heard tales of lovely Polychrome and was much interested in her.
"The cage is hanging up in my bedroom," said the Giantess, eating another biscuit.

The travelers were now more uneasy and suspicious of the Giantess than before.
