The whole venture is with the hope that the Le Conte sparrow will again make its appearance this year. Net te be the case on Friday but the usual did f11t around such as the Kingbirds, doves, finches,, flickers, couple of species of sparrows etc. There is still a nip in the air and with the clouds beginning to shut eut the warm rays of the Sun it was time te leave but sti]l plenty of time befere total darkness.

(Only in Scotland would ene find such an unusual turn of events.) The story involved net a trial, but rather, the heroine's repeated, under many different circumstances, attempts te release herself from the life of a respectable cabbage. Oppressed beyond belief, ebeying always 'papa's dictates', allowed ne education, young women of the time lived in a claustrophebia which denied totally the often brilliant and capable aspects of their lives. A state of 'exile from life' would be one way of describing this sad state of affairs. Recycled - Coronet Books r77ý .4.
