MRS. ROBIN'S NEWS
If you had been in Farmer Green's door-yard on a certain day in May you would have heard an unusual twittering and chirping and squawking.
Now, there was a reason for all this chatter. Jolly Robin's wife had seen a handsome stranger in the orchard. And she had hurried away to spread the news among her friends.
"He's a dashing person, very elegantly dressed," Mrs. Robin told everybody.
