It was a fortnight since Hugo Tancred arrived at Wren's End, and Jan had twice put off Peter's visit. During the first few days Hugo's temperature remained so high that she grew thoroughly alarmed; and in spite of his protestations that he was "quite used to it," she sent for the doctor. Happily the doctor in his youth had been in the East and was able to reassure her.
And then, when it does go through, there is young Forrester of the Fourth ready for it, and next moment it is back in its old place in the middle of the "mush." In due time, out it comes again this time on Wren's side and once again, after a short run, there it is again, on almost the identical spot of earth where it has undergone its last two poundings.
He knew every corner of it, and he intended to unearth Meg and the children if they were to be found. Besides, he ardently desired to see William. No one could see anything odd in his calling at Wren's End to see William. It was a perfectly natural thing to do. Confound Mrs. Trent. Confound Pen, what did she want to interfere for? Confound that bell. Would it never stop? Yes it had. No it hadn't.
Southward you can see the open space called the Pavement, connecting with Parliament Street, and the red brick church of St. Crux. In the Pavement the Earl of Northumberland was beheaded for treason against Queen Elizabeth, in 1572, and in St. Crux, one of Wren's churches, his remains lie buried, beneath a dark blue slab which is shown to visitors.
Upper parts clear brown, with a long light line over the eye, and a patch of black-and-white streaks on the back; light and dark brown bars on tail and wings. Under parts white, tinged with brown on the sides. A long slender bill, with more of a curve than a House Wren's. Song something like a House Wren's, but move bubbling and gurgling. A Citizen of the eastern United States. A Ground Gleaner.
A bird who thinks nothing of staying by his nest and his mate at the sacrifice of his life is not to be written down a dullard or a drudge, merely because his dress is plain and his occupation unromantic. He has a right to sing, for he has something within him to inspire the strain. There are descriptions of the creeper's music which liken it to a wren's.
Up, and to my office to set down my Journall for some days past, and so to other business. At the office all the morning upon some business of Sir W. Warren's, and at noon home to dinner, and thence out by coach with my wife and Deb. and Mr. Harman, the upholster, and carried them to take measure of Mr. Wren's bed at St.
Come on, Chebec, let's look for a place to build another nest. Next time I won't leave the eggs unwatched for a minute." Meanwhile Jenny Wren's tongue was fairly flying as she chattered to Peter Rabbit, who had come up in the midst of the excitement and of course had to know all about it.
Peter bore up under this depressing intelligence and he and Jan walked on through warm, scented lanes to Wren's End; and Peter looked at Jan a good deal. Those who happened to be in London during the season of 1914 will remember that it was a period of powder and paint and frankest touching-up of complexions.
More morning suns than could be counted in the field of the flag had come, and gone, but not a sign of Natzie. Wren's own troopers, hot on Punch's flashing heels, were cooling their own as best they could through the arid days that followed.
