It would appear then, that with the produce of the Begum's diamonds, converted into money long ago, and some of them as big as linnet's eggs and not to take account of Mrs. Green's trifling pinch of the five Exchequer bills, all handed over at once to Emily the General's present fortune was exactly one hundred and twenty-three thousand pounds.

At the hatching, which again occurs a couple of days later, the grubs make their way into the fleshy depths of the socket. The eyes and the beak, therefore, form the two chief entrances into feathered game. There are others; and these are the wounds. I cover the Linnet's head with a paper hood which will prevent invasion through the beak and eyes.
It must have been at least fifteen years since the latest of those purchases, but Miss Linnet's skill in fancy-work appeared to have gone through more numerous phases than her literary taste; for the japanned boxes, the alum and sealing-wax baskets, the fan-dolls, the 'transferred' landscapes on the fire-screens, and the recent bouquets of wax-flowers, showed a disparity in freshness which made them referable to widely different periods.
The radiant vision was not clothed in gorgeous apparel; the radiance was in the face and voice and in every motion; the apparel was simply a stiffly starched blue muslin, that had once belonged to Linnet and had been "let down" for Marjorie, and her head was crowned with a broad-brimmed straw hat, around the crown of which was tied a somewhat faded blue ribbon, also a relic of Linnet's summer days; her linen collar was fastened with an old-fashioned pin of her mother's; her boots were new and neatly fitting, her father had made them especially for herself.
"What happened after you said good-bye to Hollis?" questioned Linnet, falling on her knees beside her little sister, and almost taking her into her arms. "Nothing." "Oh, dear, you're crazy!" sobbed Linnet. Marjorie smiled faintly and lifted her hand to stroke Linnet's cheeks. "I won't hurt you," she comforted tenderly. "I know what I'll do!" exclaimed Mrs.
But she was not ready without her afternoon work; she would feel fidgety unless she had something to keep her fingers moving; the afternoon work happened to be a long white wool stocking for Linnet's winter wear. Linnet must have new ones, she decided; she would have no time to darn old ones, and Marjorie might make the old ones do another winter; it was high time for Marjorie to learn to mend.
The mothers remained to wash the dishes and pack things away, to lock up the house, and brush the last flake of dust from any of Linnet's new possessions; Captain Rheid called to Hollis and asked him to walk over the farm with him and see where everything was planted.
I must work an interest in her, either through love or through fear; and who knows but I may yet reap the sweetest and best revenge for her former scorn? that were indeed a masterpiece of courtlike art! Let me but once be her counsel-keeper let her confide to me a secret, did it but concern the robbery of a linnet's nest, and, fair Countess, thou art mine own!"
But I can't write like your cousin Helen," she added, jealously. "No matter. You'll do; and you will be growing older and constantly improving and I shall begin to travel for the house by and by and my letters will be as entertaining as a book of travels." "Will you write to me? I didn't think of that." "Goosie!" he laughed, giving her Linnet's pet name.
