The voice singing was clear and soft, yet strong a mezzo-soprano without any culture save that of practice and native taste. It had a singular charm a sweet, fantastic sincerity. He stood still and fastened his eyes on the house, a few rods away. It stood on a knoll perching above Fort Ste. Anne.
He has a decided advantage, however, over all his warbler kin, for he is not only gifted with the creeping talent, but is also just as dexterous as they in perching on a horizontal twig. The little bird known as the brown creeper belongs to a different avicular family entirely, but in one respect he is like the black-and-white warbler that is, he scales the trunks and branches of the trees.
With that he led the way through a jumble of corridors to a far corner of the Prefecture of Laon, perching high on the Hill of Laon and forming for the moment the keystone of the arch of the German center. So that was how the most crowded day in a reasonably well-crowded newspaperman's life began for me with a visit to a room which had in other days been somebody's reception parlor.
All over the country, north and south, wherever you find a group of hills or a pleasant bit of water or a stretch of coast, you'll find some such refuge as this for our weary toilers. We began to discover some time ago that it would not do to cut open the goose that laid our golden eggs, even if it looked like an eagle, and kept on perching on our banners just as if nothing had happened.
The thrush, shaking its wings, rose joyously in the air, and perching upon an elm-tree in sight of the children, he sang a song so sweet that they left the hawthorn shade and walked along together until they stood under the branches of the elm; and they listened and listened to the thrush's song, and at last Nora said: "Oh, Connla! did you ever hear a song so sweet as this?"
For four long years a civil war swept the unhappy kingdom, victory perching alternately on the opposing banners. This was a war of the Parliament against the king, British rule against brutish rule, humanity against despotism. Scotland watched the struggle of her sister kingdom with deepest interest.
Do you know I am making myself quite wretched lest I should be sickening with something, something serious? I must have a doctor at once. Would you kindly send for one, or, rather, tell Parsons where to go? I can't rest until I get the opinion of a medical man." "Now, don't you worry about that," said Bijou, bestowing an embrace upon her and then perching herself on the foot of the bed.
He had the first right to go, so he told himself, for he had helped to rescue her. He thought of going out to the workshop and talking it all over with the captain. He dismissed the idea, however, and perching himself upon a chair, waited to see what would happen. It seemed a long time to him before the others came out of the girl's room, but in reality it was only a few minutes.
"You believe in Monsieur Valmond, dear avocat?" she asked. The little man looked at her admiringly, though his admiration was a quaint, Arcadian thing; and, perching his head on one side abstractedly, he answered: "Ah, yes, ah, yes! Such candour! He is the son of Napoleon and a certain princess, born after Napoleon's fall, not long before his death."
"You are cowards," said the Swallow, perching himself on the forest-ranger's weathercock, and peering out over the landscape. But the Anemones waited still and shivered. A few of them who could not control their impatience threw off their kerchiefs in the sun.
