xvri LETTERS TO MARCO 113 



they seem friendly enough, each having his 

 allotment of one or two apple trees and some 

 old palings or other ; you will easily after a 

 bit recognise individual robins in your garden, 

 each haunting his own domain. When a 

 robin enters the room of a house it does not 

 flutter about in alarm as other birds do, but 

 will fly and perch about comparatively at its 

 ease, and sometimes almost refuses to quit. 

 My brother Bradford tells me that in India 

 they have a pied robin, exactly like our 

 robin in all things except its colour, which 

 is black and white.
