A DAINTY WARBLER. 193 



Or probably they suspect that I have found a roll 

 of bank-notes somewhere in the trees. But no ; 

 I have discovered a myrtle w^arbler, and that 

 is of far more consequence. To study one of 

 these dainty creatures, made so beautiful by 

 the Creator, is, I take it, a mark of sound 

 sense rather than an indication of a weak mind ; 

 although I hope there is nothing boastful in that 

 reflection.
