Freckles

CHAPTER III
44/45

I suspect you could collect specimens that I could send to naturalists in the city and sell for you; things like that winged creature, this morning.

I don't know much in that line, but it must have been a moth, and it might have been rare.
I've seen them by the thousand in museums, and in all nature I don't remember rarer coloring than their wings.

I'll order you a butterfly-net and box and show you how scientists pin specimens.

Possibly you can make a fine collection of these swamp beauties.

It will be all right for you to take a pair of different moths and butterflies, but I don't want to hear of your killing any birds.
