The enticing poem went down and two sheets of paper came up and I wrote the letter for which the poor thing a hundred miles away had been praying three weeks. I tried to make it cordial, spirited and sympathetic, for that was the kind she was praying for. And it went to the mail four hours after I had received her letter." "I'm so glad," said sympathetic Linnet. "How glad she must have been!"
They had established themselves right in front of Widow Driesch's house; the two flagstones that served as steps to the front door were so convenient for playing jackstones, or only to sit on, with the hands about the bent knees and the nose uplifted, while you yelled to the insects swarming in the warm air: "Come, linnet, come, Come beat my drum!"
"I will build you a house, and give you fifty acres of good land." With the letter in his pocket, he sought his friends, the Holmes'. He was not so averse to a farmer's life as he had been when he once spoke of it to Marjorie. He found Prue practicing; papa was in the study, she said, and mamma and Linnet had gone to the train to meet Marjorie. "Marjorie did not tell me that she was coming."
"That's all you hate, dates and punctuation," Linnet declared; "but I can't see the use of ever so many other things." "If God thought it worth while to make the earth and people it and furnish it and govern it with laws, don't you think it worth your poor little while to learn what he has done?" queried Miss Prudence, gently.

Torrey promised to go to the girls' ward the first time she visited Edgar and ask for Susy Hunt and the tame linnet. The bird had arrived safely at the Hospital and proved a great amusement to the patients. Miss Lerow wrote a short note in answer, which I shall copy. "DEAR BERTIE: This morning when I carried the cage into Mrs. Ayer's ward there was great rejoicing.
Pettifer admired her wax-flowers, she said, "Ah, Mrs. Pettifer, think of the beauties of nature!" She always spoke very prettily, did Mary Linnet; very different, indeed, from Rebecca. Miss Rebecca Linnet, indeed, was not a general favourite.
We have a wizard ready for your king. Will Louis come?" Noel nodded decisively. "As linnet to looking-glass. He is greedy of star-wisdom. Does your astrologer know his lesson?" "He is parrot-perfect. When all is quiet, give an owl's cry thrice, and a friend will bring him.
Now Linnet is always the same; I always know what she will do and say; but there's no telling about Marjorie. I don't know what to make of her," she sighed. "Then I wouldn't try, wife," said Marjorie's father, with his shrewd smile. "I'd let somebody that knows." After a while, Marjorie's mother spoke again: "I don't know that you help me any."
