The canary died before he reached home, and the parrot and cockatoo, on the strength of being able to screech and say a few words, soon found owners, but the squirrel, being shabby-looking, hung on hand, or rather outside the little shop, in a canary's cage, to which it had been promoted after its own revolving wire home had been sold, the purchaser declining to buy the squirrel because he was so shabby.
"Oh!" he said and for a few seconds simply sat and gazed at her. "But it came to life again?" he said afterwards. "I don't know. I don't know what it was. Perhaps it could only live in a very little creature. But it was killed." "I say!" broke from him. "It was like wringing a canary's neck when it was singing in the sun!"
"I'll tell you what though, some of them are real vegetables, I mean kitchen-garden vegetables, to other creatures, and that's why they're wanted. Groundsel's a vegetable, it's the canary's vegetable. I mean his kitchen-garden vegetable, and if he had a kitchen-garden of his own, he would grow it as we do peas. So I was right after all, No. 6!"

"I remember him well, and he was very kind. I can see him now putting my canary's little leg in splints when it had broken it, and the dogs adored him. Old Dido yet listens for his return." My grandmother began to weep softly. "I did not want Bawn to know anything about those dreadful happenings, Mary," she said.
We are going to Mountain Camp Mr. Canary's place." "I know that place," said the telegraph operator. "There is an easy road to it from our farm through the hills. Get there quicker than you can by the way of Cliffdale. I believe my father could drive you up there to-morrow." "In a sleigh?" cried Betty delightedly. "What fun!" "In a pung.
