There is another association with this same bird that always gives an added thrill to the rush of his wings through the startled woods. It was in the old school by the cross-roads, one sleepy September afternoon. A class in spelling, big boys and little girls, toed a crack in front of the waster's desk. The rest of the school droned away on appointed tasks in the drowsy interlude.
He had the night in which to pack that steamer trunk. Leisurely he doffed the faultless evening garments he was going to have a waistcoat pointed like the waster's, with four of those little shiny buttons, and studs and cuff-links to match and donned a gayly flowered silk robe. With extreme discomfort he surveyed the new steamer trunk.
At the fulsome praises that Pascualo kept showering upon his brother for drifting away from the waster's life he had been leading to spend more and more of his time in that house where he found a peaceful, homelike kindliness he had never known in his own the young half-sister smiled sarcastically. Oh, these men, these men! Just as she and mama had always said!
