"I consider such pride the height of vulgarity, " she cried, and the peacock, hearing her, flew off in high dudgeon. I thought Mr. Peacock had rather too good an opinion of himself for good taste, but I have a failing for the gor- geous bird. "Perhaps he can't help it, " I ventured. "He's very famous, you know. In olden days he 'was held sacred to the God' dess Juno. " "Well, that didn't keep Quintus Some- bodyor'Other from serving him at a banquet, " said Katie disdainfully. "These prize beaut...ies seldom have any brains. " We dismissed the subjed: by common consent as we turned into the leafbor' dered path that led to the largest of the bird palaces. On the way, we passed several smaller houses, where birds of prey, who cannot be trusted with their more peaceable brothers and sisters, dwell in solitary dignity. In one of these, five owls blinked mournfully and yawned prodigiously. It gave me a drowsy feeling just to look at them. "They're terribly sleepy-and who wouldn't be, if he sat up all night?" laughed Katie.
