He was quick to show solicitude over the dangers and mishaps of all the gentler wild creatures. While he was getting breakfast, a migrating Ca- iiadian sparrow flew with a sharp tap against a win- dow-pane, and he went and looked out and gave the bird a greeting. On our way down through the woods that morning, he observed on a drooping hemlock bough a bird's nest that was getting loose, and he carefully propped up the bough to make the nest safe. At the village he took me under the church horse...-shed to see how a robin had been confused in its nest-building by the alikeness of the spaces where the rafters met the beam at the eaves. The bird had started nests all along the beam. Burroughs picked two long dandelion stems that grew near the horse-shed, and as he put the ends of them in his mouth to chew on them, he remarked, "They're a good tonic — bitter, you know." One of his backwoods neighbors was a man who had reached the age of eighty-eight. We met him in the village, and Burroughs introduced him to me as a person who believed that the world was flat.
