The children all looked on with interest as the Executioner performed his terrible duty. Raising his curious scythe-like chopper, with one mighty blow he severed the piece of wood which answered for the Dodo's neck, and then stood gloomily aside. "Fiat Justitia!" said the Court Glover, solemnly; and then, turning to the Dodo, he inquired anxiously, "Well, how did you like it?"
"Very well said, my boy! Now I will show you that such feet as the Sparrow has are as much like Dodo's as a Sparrow's beak is like her mouth. Begin with the claws " Insect-eating bill of Robin; 2. Seed-crushing bill of a Sparrow; 3. Snapping bill of Whip-poor-will; 4. Needle bill of Hummingbird; 5. Chiselling bill of Woodpecker; 6. Climbing bill of Paroquet; 7. Tearing bill of Falcon; 8.
It will be difficult to find another place, within our means, where we will find so much room out-doors and in. Poor Dodo will miss the grassy yard." "And Dodo's grandmother, too," added Camille. "You ought to see how chummy they are, Joyce, out under our one maple." Joyce was looking at that spiritual woman with an expression that arrested the girl's thought and words.
"Not at all," cried the Missionary, heartily, pressing some money into the Dodo's glove, which, of course, immediately fell off and disconcerted the Missionary very much, while the Dodo scrambled about and picked up the scattered coins.
"H'm! that remains to be seen," said the Ambassador, pursing his lips up tightly, and staring at the Dodo severely. "Come along," he continued, catching hold of what would have been the Dodo's ear if he had had one, but which was in reality a sort of woolly fluff growing all over his head. "Come along, and see your friend the Little Panjandrum." "Leave go!" screamed the Dodo, "you hurt."
"Little Dodo's sister is my best chum," explained Grace, the tears coming into her eyes. "Oh, when I saw her running toward Prince I thought I would faint! Poor little dear! I called to her, but she would not mind." "That was the trouble," explained Mrs. Watson, who had been ministering to Grace, "she seemed just wild to get out in the rain." "Well, it may yet come out all right," said Dr.
"Tut! tut! this is serious!" exclaimed the Doctor, regarding the Dodo's tongue critically. "We must have a change of air immediately, and thorough rest. I will go and make you up a little prescription, and I would advise you to start at once. The air at er the Crystal Palace would suit you admirably. There is an excursion starting to-day. I should certainly go by that if I were you."
You want to know about birds, do you, Miss Dodo, and Nat feels grieved because I won't let him pop at our feathered neighbors that live in the orchard? Oh, yes, my boy, I know all about it, you see; Cousin Olive has been telling tales. Come round here where I can see you. I can answer your question more easily than I can Dodo's.
"You are both right in a way," laughed the Doctor; "but you need not give up the Owls in order to celebrate the Eagle's birthday. We will have an Eagle's birthday party at the beach on the Fourth; and on the eighth which is Dodo's birthday, if I am not mistaken we will have an Owl party up at the lake!"
Joyce," cried that lady, catching the hand between her own, while with a sharp little sound Camille sprang to her feet, Dorette meanwhile breaking into a laugh almost like Dodo's for innocent joy. "I knew you, Joyce!" said she, and Madame, caressing the girl's hand, added tremulously, "My dear, dear child!" "And so I'm no longer to be proprietor and boss," cried Larry, coming forward.
