Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Sir Henry Havelock But, alas! There's many a slip between the boy's hand and the bird's nest. Snap! Crash went the rotten branch; leaves, and twigs, and bits of broken wood went flying down helter - skelter through the green boughs beneath, a small boy very much mixed up in the middle of them; While some birds flew out with a shrill screech, laughing, perhaps, at the sorry plight of the bold little plunderer. Plump came something down on the turf, and then the something picked itself up and rubbed its elbows, and, perhaps, glanced a little ruefully at the ragged rent in its jacket; but it didn't how], or even seem much fright ened, and would, no doubt, have swarmed up the tree again immediately, had not the unlucky branch that offered the only chance of reaching the coveted nest broken short off close to the trunk.
