So Wainamoinen cut down the trees as the titmouse had said, only he left the birch-trees standing. After all the rest were cut down an eagle flew down, and, alighting on a birch-tree, asked why all the others had been destroyed, but the birches left.
"This is very nice, you know, Vixen," said Roderick critically, as Titmouse made a greedy snap at an apple, and was repulsed with a gentle pat on his nose, "but it can't go on for ever. What'll you do when you are grown up?" "Have a horse instead of a pony," answered Vixen unhesitatingly. "And will that be all the difference?" "I don't see what other difference there can be.
And this messenger from Troy is Tom Titmouse! Not that all poor scholars and inferior men have fine manners, nor do all good scholars and superior men fail in the drawing-room. No rule is without an exception.
"Don't allow smoking in here, do you, boys?" He got no answer. It was a hard-and-fast rule which he himself had instituted. "Well, here goes." He lighted a huge cigar and puffed it insolently about the office. He surveyed himself in the cracked mirror. "Cursed if a uniform isn't becoming to a man!" he said. "Chicken!" said Hamilton. "Puppy!" said Hannibal. "Titmouse!" said Hamilton.
The true realist is such a man as Parent du Chatelet; exploring all that most tries the senses and the sentiments, and reporting all truthfully, but soberly, chastely, without needless circumstance, or picturesque embellishment, for a useful end, and not for a mere sensational effect.

"Thank you, sir, but there is no use in looking at the wagon again, when such a price as twenty-five dollars is asked for a month's hire," Dick answered promptly. "Come inside and look at it again, anyway," urged Mr. Titmouse. "Thank you, sir, but I must get back to Gridley at the earliest possible moment."
Tommy Oriole, to say the truth, had as good a heart as ever beat under bird's feathers; but then he had a weakness for concerts and general society, because he was held to be, by all odds, the handsomest bird in the woods, and sung like an angel; and so the truth was he didn't confine himself so much to the domestic nest as Tom Titmouse or Billy Wren.
