A quavering cry creates a feeling of uncertainty.

The use of the word "quavering" conveys a feeling of uncertainty in this passage. The quavering cry cannot be calm, as it is a noisy, somewhat unexpected sound. Because it is not particularly intense, it is unlikely to convey mischief. Finally, a cry is also unlikely to convey a feeling of boredom.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
