When I first saw him, his memory had greatly failed him; while his bright green plumage was vast verging into a silvery gray He had but little left of that triumphant chuckle which used to provoke such laughter among the younkers; and day after day he would sit mute and moping on his perch, seldom answering the numerous questions that were put to him regarding the cause of his malady.
"Wot will the world come to, Jack, when younkers like this get a-goin'? Drop the baby, Sally, and come along o' me!" The woman looked at him a moment steadily. "Let me go," said she; "I don't want anything to do with you." "Don't, eh?" said he. "Git away, Bub, an' let your betters have way." I clung closer to her side, and looked at him rather defiantly.

The Dutch called their settlement Younkers, Younckers, Jonkers or Yonkers, derived from Jonkheer, a common name for the male heir of a Dutch family. The old Philipse manor house, now Yonkers's City Hall, was erected about 1682, the present front being added in 1745.

"You younkers can see us eat, if you want to," said Josh Owen, with a malicious leer, as he spread a piece of paper on the ground and began to lay out the meal. "When are you two going to eat? I don't know.
