She slept late because she was tired, and when Martha brought her breakfast she told her that though. Colin was quite quiet he was ill and feverish as he always was after he had worn himself out with a fit of crying.

Mother says as th&#8217; two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way\u2014or always to have it. She doesn&#8217;t know which is th&#8217; worst. Tha&#8217; was in a fine temper tha&#8217;self, too.

The fox and the crow were with him again and this time he had brought two tame squirrels. &#8220;I came over on the pony this mornin&#8217;,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Eh! he is a good little chap\u2014Jump is! I brought these two in my pockets. This here one he&#8217;s called Nut an&#8217; this here other one&#8217;s called Shell.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">When he said &#8220;Nut&#8221; one squirrel leaped on to his right shoulder and when he said &#8220;Shell&#8221; the other one leaped on to his left shoulder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">When they sat down on the grass with Captain curled at their feet, Soot solemnly listening on a tree and Nut and Shell nosing about close to them, it seemed to Mary that it would be scarcely bearable to leave such delightfulness, but when she began to tell her story somehow the look in Dickon&#8217;s funny face gradually changed her mind. She could see he felt sorrier for Colin than she did. He looked up at the sky and all about him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;Just listen to them birds\u2014th&#8217; world seems full of &#8217;em\u2014all whistlin&#8217; an&#8217; pipin&#8217;,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Look at &#8217;em dartin&#8217; about, an&#8217; hearken at &#8217;em callin&#8217; to each other.

But she loved his broad Yorkshire and had in fact been trying to learn to speak it herself. So she spoke a little now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;Aye, that we mun,&#8221; she said (which meant &#8220;Yes, indeed, we must&#8221;). &#8220;I&#8217;ll tell thee what us&#8217;ll do first,&#8221; she proceeded, and Dickon grinned, because when the little wench tried to twist her tongue into speaking Yorkshire it amused him very much. &#8220;He&#8217;s took a graidely fancy to thee. He wants to see thee and he wants to see Soot an&#8217; Captain. When I go back to the house to talk to him I&#8217;ll ax him if tha&#8217; canna&#8217; come an&#8217; see him tomorrow mornin&#8217;\u2014an&#8217;. bring tha&#8217; creatures wi&#8217; thee\u2014an&#8217; then\u2014in a bit, when there&#8217;s more leaves out, an&#8217; happen a bud or two, we&#8217;ll get him to come out an&#8217; tha&#8217; shall push him in his chair an&#8217; we&#8217;ll bring him here an&#8217; show him everything.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">When she stopped she was quite proud of herself. She had never made a long speech in Yorkshire before and she had remembered very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;Tha&#8217; mun talk a bit o&#8217; Yorkshire like that to Mester Colin,&#8221; Dickon chuckled. &#8220;Tha&#8217;ll make him laugh an&#8217; there&#8217;s nowt as good for ill folk as laughin&#8217; is. Mother says she believes as half a hour&#8217;s good laugh every mornin&#8217; &#8216;ud cure a chap as was makin&#8217; ready for typhus fever.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m going to talk Yorkshire to him this very day,&#8221; said Mary, chuckling herself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">The garden had reached the time when every day and every night it seemed as if Magicians were passing through it drawing loveliness out of the earth and the boughs with wands. It was hard to go away and leave it all, particularly as Nut had actually crept on to her dress and Shell had scrambled down the trunk of the apple-tree they sat under and stayed there looking at her with inquiring eyes. But she went back to the house and when she sat down close to Colin&#8217;s bed he began to sniff as Dickon did though not in such an experienced way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;You smell like flowers and\u2014and fresh things,&#8221; he cried out quite joyously. &#8220;What is it you smell of?

Colin began to laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; he said. &#8220;I never heard you talk like that before.

Doesn&#8217;t tha&#8217; understand a bit o&#8217; Yorkshire when tha&#8217; hears it? An&#8217; tha&#8217; a Yorkshire lad thysel&#8217; bred an&#8217; born! Eh!

Whoever on earth would ha&#8217; thought it!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">There was so much to talk about. It seemed as if Colin could never hear enough of Dickon and Captain and Soot and Nut and Shell and the pony whose name was Jump. Mary had run round into the wood with Dickon to see Jump. He was a tiny little shaggy moor pony with thick locks hanging over his eyes and with a pretty face and a nuzzling velvet nose. He was rather thin with living on moor grass but he was as tough and wiry as if the muscle in his little legs had been made of steel springs. He had lifted his head and whinnied softly the moment he saw Dickon and he had trotted up to him and put his head across his shoulder and then Dickon had talked into his ear and Jump had talked back in odd little whinnies and puffs and snorts. Dickon had made him give Mary his small front hoof and kiss her on her cheek with his velvet muzzle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;Does he really understand everything Dickon says?&#8221; Colin asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;It seems as if he does,&#8221; answered Mary. &#8220;Dickon says anything will understand if you&#8217;re friends with it for sure, but you have to be friends for sure.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">Colin lay quiet a little while and his strange gray eyes seemed to be staring at the wall, but Mary saw he was thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.5pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black;\">&#8220;I wish I was friends with things,&#8221; he said at last, &#8220;but I&#8217;m not.

I think you are like him too. We are all three alike\u2014you and I and Ben Weatherstaff. He said we were neither of us much to look at and we were as sour as we looked.
