"We'll go to Blackborough Castle," said Dick, "and take the twankies. We must give them a little fun. Siskin, how about a picnic?" Mrs. Birket was telling Mrs. Clinton that Beatrice's engagement would be announced when they returned to London. "She is young," she said, "but both the girls are older in mind than in age." "You have educated them well," Mrs. Clinton said.
When he courts the female, he sways his body from side to side, and quickly turns his slightly expanded wings first to one side, then to the other, with a golden flashing effect. Mr. Weir informs me that no other British finch turns thus from side to side during his courtship, not even the closely- allied male siskin, for he would not thus add to his beauty. Mr.
Campbell, J., on the Indian elephant; on the proportion of male and female births in the harems of Siam. Campylopterus hemileucurus. Canaries distinguishing persons. Canary, polygamy of the; change of plumage in, after moulting; female, selecting the best singing male; sterile hybrid, singing of a; female, singing of the; selecting a greenfinch; and siskin, pairing of. Cancer pagurus.
The finch was about the size of the common Siskin of Europe, and he judged the two to be male and female; one of them was quite dead, but secured in the broken web; the other was under the body of the spider, not quite dead, and was covered in parts with a filthy liquor or saliva exuded by the monster.

You should have seen her face when Dick came up the moment after and said, 'Here you are, Siskin; come and have a spin'; and didn't take any notice of dear Evelyn, who must have been at least thirty." "Well, go on about Mrs. Birket's."
Really, Dick could be almost as provoking as the Squire, where their womenfolk were concerned. But at last he came, smiling very pleasantly. "Hullo, mother!" he said. "Hullo, Siskin! Now you've seen the Queen in her parlour, eh? Well, how do you like yourself?"
Among the regular visitors are included the white wagtail, the pied flycatcher, the nightjar, the black redstart, the lesser redpole, the snow bunting, the redwing, the reed, marsh, and grasshopper warblers, the siskin, the dotterel, the sanderling, the wryneck, the hobby, the merlin, the bittern, and the shoveller.
Unfortunately for the rule there are too many exceptions. Thus confining ourselves to a single family that of the finches in our own islands, the most modest coloured have the least melody, while those that have the gayest plumage are the best singers the goldfinch, chaffinch, siskin, and linnet.
I have never seen the Siskin in any of the Channel Islands myself, and Mr. MacCulloch writes me word "I have never heard of a Siskin here, but, being migratory, it may occur." I see, however, no reason to doubt Mr. Couch's statement in the 'Zoologist, as the bird was brought into his shop.
