robins mistress carried out a loose wad of cut 
worsted and placed it near the nest, but they did 
not make use of that either. Evidently they knew 
what they needed better than anybody else, in the 
building of their little home. 
A day or two after the nest was finished, Guy 
stepped on a chair and looked inside, and found 
one little blue egg in it. After this mistress and 
Guy were very careful not to go on the piazza 
while the robins were in the nest, for fear they 
would be frightened, and would desert their 
eggs. 
About three days later Guy looked again into 
the nest, and saw T two eggs in it ; and a week later 
when he looked again, there were four. 
After the four eggs were laid, one of the robins 
stayed on the nest nearly all the time, the other 
one coming many times during the day, always 
bringing his mate something to eat. Mistress named 
them Robert and Rena. 
We cats wanted to go out on the piazza the 
worst way during those days, but the door was 
always shut. 
Sometimes when both robins were away, mistress 
or Guy would go on the piazza and scatter bread
