Still that knowing youngster paid no heed to his elder's advice. "If snakes climb trees I've never seen them do it," he scoffed. "Hi, there! Haven't you seen " Mr. Chippy started to say. But before he could finish his question Master Robin interrupted him rudely. "Certainly I saw him," he cried. "I saw him come out of the wall and go in again." "He'll get you if you don't go away!" Mr.
And even some of the bigger ones a good deal bigger than Grumpy Weasel himself felt uneasy. So you can see whether or not Grumpy Weasel was welcome. Little Mr. Chippy suddenly set up a great twitter. Anybody could see that he was frightened. And one of Jolly Robin's sons, perched in an apple tree near the stone wall where Mr. Chippy lived in a wild grapevine, wondered what could be the matter.
The forecastle-head is under water, the decks are burst up by the pressure, the wreckage lies around in dismal confusion, but over all the blue ensign flies still. "This afternoon Sallie's three youngest pups, Sue's Sirius, and Mrs. Chippy, the carpenter's cat, have to be shot. We could not undertake the maintenance of weaklings under the new conditions.
The bird has yet another lay, however, which has made it notorious. Where is the nest of song-sparrow, or Maryland yellow-throat, or yellow warbler, or chippy, that is safe from the curse of the cow-bird's blighting visit?
And dear me! I forgot all about Rusty Wren's family his wife and six baby children who had to be given Wren food by Rusty and little Chippy, Jr. You will laugh heartily when you read about Chippy growing so big and fat that he gets stuck in Rusty's tiny doorway and can't get pulled out. My, what an exciting time it was!
"Got out of bed at five, but nothing to be seen in the valley. I feel a bit chippy this morning. If nothing turns up to-day shall begin to feel uneasy. The men seem all right. They are plucky little fellows." There was a self-consciousness about Jem Agar's diary, a selection of the right word, which conveyed nothing to Arthur. But it fell into other hands later on, where it was understood better.
But Buster Bumblebee spoke up and said that he didn't think much of that name, because Daddy Longlegs had no beard. "Well, for all you know he may decide to wear one, any day," Mr. Chippy replied. And then all the company applauded again except Buster Bumblebee. "How do you know Daddy Longlegs is a grandfather?" he asked Mr. Chippy. "How do you know he isn't?" Mr. Chippy asked him.
"Now, that's strange!" Daddy Longlegs quavered. "I don't see how he's going to talk with Farmer Green when he's half a mile away from him." And everybody else said the same thing. "He's gone off and left the contest unfinished," little Mr. Chippy observed. "So there's nothing Jasper Jay can do except to declare that Daddy Longlegs is the winner and the wisest person in Pleasant Valley."
Like most people, he was not overjoyed by Jasper Jay's visits. But he crept on top of the stone wall and chipped a how-dy-do to his caller. "That's no way to greet anybody!" cried Jasper Jay, rudely. "If you want to make a person feel that he is welcome you ought to speak up good and loud and slap him on the back. And you must look happy, too." Little Mr. Chippy smiled faintly.
"What does he look like?" Rusty Wren inquired. "Like nobody else I ever saw!" Mr. Chippy exclaimed. "His legs are long and thin; and his body is very small. And though his mouth makes me think of a pair of pincers, he seems quite friendly and harmless." "What's his name?" asked Busty Wren. "I don't know," said Mr. Chippy. "But there's only one name that fits him. I've already called him by it.
