It came nearer and still nearer, and in a moment we saw the bird, a tiny creature, red-brown on the back, light below the image of the little sitter in the stump, as we remarked with delight; we hoped he was her mate.

An awful struggle followed, in the middle of which the pine-top broke, gave way, and, before either seemed to know quite what was happening, down they both came, crashing from branch to branch, to earth.
