Peter Talks
T)EAR. ANNE SHIRLEY—I think my mistress. Mary Willis, has told you about me before. I like Iter to, because it makes me feel very important. She has been trying to make me whistle by rubbing a wet cork on a glass bottle. I just won't do it. because it sounds so stupid. Now she is away at Pilin I'm staying with Jier kind friona. I have somebody to talk to, too, because she keeps a number of canaries. It's good to be away from Kitwits, the cat. My heart always jumps when he walks in the door looking at me with his cruel gleaming eyes. But there's a dog here called Don, and when he barks lie nearly deafens me. I'm feeling thirsty from talking, so I'll send you a canary's kiss from Peter—Budgie.
