CHAPTER I—THE NEST IN THE OLD CEDAR


Nathalie came running up the steps of the veranda her brown eyes alight
with excitement as she cried, “Oh, Mother, what do you think? Down in
the old cedar-tree on the lawn is a nest of tiny blue robins—they’re
just the cutest things—do come and see them!”

“Blue robins?” quizzed her brother Dick from where he lay reading in the
hammock. “Who ever heard of blue robins?”

“I think she means bluebirds,” ventured Mrs. Page, looking up from the
morning paper and smiling at the earnest young face of her daughter.
Then her eyes dimmed, but she winked her lashes quickly as if to
restrain a sudden rush of tears, rose in answer to the note of appeal in
the girl’s voice, and stepped to her side.
