Transcriber Changes

In addition to standardizing hyphenation, the following changes were

made to the original text:

Page 3: Was =where-ever= hyphenated across two lines (the

little cold droppings seemed to pursue him =wherever= he

went)

Page 7: =Ivy berries= standardized to =Ivy-berries=

(=Ivy-berries= will be poorish eating day after day.")

Page 15: Added end quote after us. (We do not 'sow, nor

do we gather into barns,' but still 'God feeds =us.'=)

Page 15: =lime trees= standardized to =lime-trees=

(swiftly passed over one or two snow-covered fields, and

then by a long avenue of =lime-trees=.)

Page 32: =laurel bushes= standardized to =laurel-bushes=

(he flew off to the =laurel-bushes= by the bay window and

sang a song)

Page 36: Removed comma from "Nanny," (he was afraid that

"=Nanny=" might find out what they were doing.)

Page 41: Removed begin quote before "When ("Oh," replied

the Rook, "the swallows are most curious and interesting

creatures. =When= October comes they assemble)

Page 52: =newly mown= standardized to =newly-mown= (The

=newly-mown= hay was falling on all sides)

Page 54: =even-tide= standardized to =eventide= (This was

a secret corner to which the birds repaired at

=eventide=)

Page 60: "twofold shout" changed to single quotes (His

='twofold shout'= of _cuckoo_ is a welcome sound to every

one)

Page 84: spring?" changed to double quote ("Don't you

remember what I told you in the =spring?"=)

Page 87: =bay-window= standardized to =bay window= (he

knew of a certain =bay window= where two eager little

faces would be watching for him)
