Finally because I didnt par ticularly want It learning to fly In thehousc we put it outside on the All In all It sat around with many admirers for a day before it flew away Davids first chrysalis hatched last Sunday morning and was gone by noon and his second on the ladder has just darkened We should be waving it off by Friday Correction In between writing time and typing time Number Three
