CHAPTER XIII.
"I AM COLIN" Mary took the picture back to the house when she went to her supper and she showed it to Martha.
"Eh!" said Martha with great pride.

"I never knew our Dickon was as clever as that.

That there's a picture of a missel thrush on her nest, as large as life an' twice as natural." Then Mary knew Dickon had meant the picture to be a message.

He had meant that she might be sure he would keep her secret.

Her garden was her nest and she was like a missel thrush.
