Wren at his chamber at White Hall, the first time of his coming thither this year, the Duchess coming thither tonight, and there he and I did read over my paper that I have with so much labour drawn up about the several answers of the officers of this Office to the Duke of York's reflections, and did debate a little what advice to give the Duke of York when he comes to town upon it.
But when she concluded with "I shall send this thing to him at once, with my personal apologies for the act of an irresponsible child," up sprang Angela with rebellion flashing from her eyes. She had suffered punishment as a woman. She would not now be treated as a child. To Janet's undisguised amaze and disapprobation, Wren decided that Angela herself should send both apology and net.
He blinked in the stronger sunshine, and felt it warm upon his eyelids. "Halleluia!" said the voice again. It certainly came from the wall. He looked again, and, scanning it in this strange, new light, was aware of a wren in one of the crevices. "Will he? will he?" piped another voice, pretty close behind his ear.
But Rusty Wren pointed out that nobody could see bearings, anyhow a remark that puzzled the Worm-eating Warbler more than a little. To tell the truth, he had no idea what bearings were. And at last he admitted that he didn't know. "What are bearings, anyhow?" he asked Rusty Wren. "I don't understand what you mean." "Oh, I mean that Grandfather Mole has lost his way," Rusty Wren explained.
Plume or, possibly, Elise? Once or twice in its checkered past Camp Sandy had had its romance, its mystery, indeed its scandals, but this was something that put in the shade all previous episodes; this shook Sandy to its very foundation, and this, despite her brother's prohibition, Janet Wren felt it her duty to detail in full to Angela.
"He does," said Jenny Wren, poking her head out of her doorway just as Peter spoke. "How do you suppose he would find them when they are in the ground if he didn't hear them?" "Can you hear them?" asked Peter. "I've never tried, and I don't intend to waste my time trying," retorted Jenny.
'Take me to him, she piteously asked, turning to the Swallow. 'I shall pass that way to-morrow, he said, 'for I must go and meet my comrades, to guide them here. You can go with me; I will take you to where he is imprisoned. The next morning, before the sun had risen, away flew the Swallow, and with him the little Wren.
As with the goldfinch, the reason is, probably, that suitable food for the young cannot be had at an earlier period. Like most of our common species, as the robin, sparrow, bluebird, pewee, wren, etc., this bird sometimes seeks wild, remote localities in which to rear its young; at others, takes up its abode near that of man.
The achievements of Wren, or Purcell, or Keats may arouse in them admiration and pride, but never a sense of kinship.
The next minute, like a chorus, there came a scream from one of the upper windows, one from another, and a sort of howl from Mrs Bantem, and we all stood startled and staring, for what does Jenny Wren do, but in a staggering way, lift up her little brother for him to touch the elephant's trunk, and then she stood laughing and clapping her hands with delight, seeing no fear, bless her! as that long, soft trunk was gently curled round the boy's waist, he was drawn out of his sister's arms; and then the great beast stood swinging the child to and fro, now up a little way, now down between his legs, and him crowing and laughing away all the while, as if it was the best fun that could be.
