The other birds that arrive about the same time the sparrow, the robin, the phoebe-bird are clad in neutral tints, gray, brown, or russet; but the bluebird brings one of the primary hues and the divinest of them all. This bird also has the distinction of answering very nearly to the robin redbreast of English memory, and was by the early settlers of New England christened the blue robin.
Well, my little canary bird didn't wink at me all night, as I feared it might in the last story, and my alarm clock said "good morning" to me at half-past fourteen o'clock, so I got up in time, and here is the story I wrote before I went out into the garden to eat raspberries with Robbie Redbreast.
'It is very good of her, but I would rather find my own way home from the station. I will come out to Robin Redbreast to-morrow or the day after to have a talk with your mother. She will have more than enough to occupy her to-day. Jacinth secretly commended her aunt's good sense, but the younger ones seemed a little sorry. They wanted everybody to be as happy as themselves.
On Christmas Day the large landau, quite roomy enough for half a dozen instead of four, took them all to Elvedon church, where they sat with Lady Myrtle in the square, be-curtained pew one of those appropriated to the Court, which was kept for the lady from Robin Redbreast.
A tremendous report had gone off near us; a brilliant light had shown up the lines of a cruiser; a shell had shrieked past us and whistled away to explode among the Turks; and a loud, and swelling murmur of amazement and admiration, rising from the Redbreast, had burst into a thousand laughs. "Fate laughs at my poem," grumbled Doe.
"Why," said the little boy, "you said that O-pee-chee's breast was gray. How does it come that yours is red?" "That is another story," answered Father Redbreast. "I should like very much to hear it. Please tell me about it," said little Luke. "Once upon a time," said Father Redbreast, "long after the days of the first robin, old Mah-to the great White Bear dwelt alone in the far Northland.
'There's no cottage nor house of any kind between this and the high-road, except the Robin Redbreast itself, said she. 'And that's not a place where one could ask for a glass of water even. The old lady's very stiff in her ways, and the servants are just the same. 'Oh no, said Jacinth, 'of course it wouldn't do to ask for anything at a gentleman's house.
And little boy rabbit jumped into the box, That held her best bonnet and trampled upon it. Masherty, masherty, mash!" And in the next story you shall know what the miller's dog did when he stopped singing, that is, if Robbie Redbreast isn't too frightened to look into the window and tell me all about it.
Since that time, partly from habit and partly to amuse ourselves, we have continued to transform ourselves, and it was in this way that I got to know you. 'How? exclaimed Jégu, filled with astonishment. 'Do you remember when you were digging in the field near the river, three months ago, you found a robin redbreast caught in a net?
The movements of this tough little anti-Darwinian are overlapped by the bluebird and the robin, our robin, best entitled to the name, inasmuch as it is accorded him by fifty-odd millions against thirty millions who give it to the redbreast, who are usually with him long before he gets away.
