Jim says there ain't a bird on his place that don't actually seem to like having her around after she has wheedled them a few days, and the pictures she takes nobody would ever believe who didn't stand by and see." "Will you he sure to tell her to come ?" asked Freckles. Duncan slept at home that night.
