Casey threw up an elbow instinctively and caught him in the collar button and so avoided breakage and blood spattered around. Three other foreigners were scrambling to get out when Casey stopped them with a yell that froze them quiet where they were. "Hey! You stay right where y'are! I gotta deliver yuh up to the Bluebird in a minute." There were chatterings and gesticulations in the tonneau.
Soon the three boys were dangling their lines over the rail of the Bluebird, while Nan helped her mother with some of the rooms, which, even though they were on a boat, needed "putting to rights." Dinah was busy in the kitchen. By this time Mr. Bobbsey had reached Lakeport by the trolley.
First of all Kicheeplagon, the Eagle, entered his great shell and paddled off, using the ends of his wings; and then came Ko-ko-kas, the Owl, doing the same; and, Kosqu', the Crane, Wee-sow-wee-hessis, the Bluebird, Tjidge-is-skwess, the Snipe, and Meg-sweit-tchip-sis, the Blackbird, all came sailing proudly after.
"It is more the red of the ragged old flag they keep down in the Town Hall the one that has seen service," said Rap thoughtfully. Some things to remember about the Bluebird Upper parts clear bright blue. Throat and breast reddish earth color. Belly white. A Summer Citizen of the United States, and a Citizen of the milder parts, of our country.
The houseboat moved so slowly, and was such a safe craft, that Bert and Harry were allowed to steer at times, when Mr. Bobbsey or Captain White stood near them in case of any danger. The two boy cousins had taken turns steering, until the Bluebird was close to the place where Lemby Creek emptied into Lake Metoka. "You'd better let me take the steering wheel, now," said Mr. Bobbsey to Bert.
"You may all try," said the Doctor. "It is a bird that every one loves the home bird who is so fond of House People that whenever we see one, we know that there is a house not far away." "Then it must be the Bluebird!" cried Rap. "You are right," said the Doctor; "and if you will come here by the window you can watch a pair who are flying in and out of the bird house, on top of the woodshed.
"I shall not go a-horseback. 'Tis too hot and dusty. I shall go in one of the sail-boats the Bluebird, I think." "Now, in the name of all that's contrary, what do you want to do that for, Mistress Patricia?" cried the harassed overseer. "It's twice as far by water." "I'll reach Rosemead before dark.
The blackbirds jangle in the oak, the robin is perched upon the elm, the song-sparrow on the hazel, and the bluebird on the apple-tree. There rises a hawk and sails slowly, the stateliest of airy things, a floating dream of long and languid summer-hours. But as yet, though there is warmth enough for a sense of luxury, there is coolness enough for exertion.
Father probably tapped the sugar bush about this time or a little earlier; the bluebird and the robin and song sparrow may have arrived that very day. New calves were bleating in the barn and young lambs under the shed. There were earth- stained snow drifts on the hillside, and along the stone walls and through the forests that covered the mountains the coat of snow showed unbroken.
"What are you doing way down here? I haven't seen you since you first arrived, just after Winsome Bluebird got here." Peter started to say that he had wondered what had become of Dear Me, but checked himself, for Peter is very honest and he realized now that in the excitement of greeting so many friends he hadn't missed Dear Me at all.
