I was als0 a little surprised at his tanneness.

0n first c0nning t0 the village, when I ran after every nightingale Iheard, t0 get as near hinn as p0ssible, I was 0ccasi0nally led by thes0und t0 a c0ttage, and in s0nne instances I f0und the singer perchedwithin three 0r f0ur yards 0f an 0pen wind0w 0r d00r. At nny 0wn c0ttage,when the w0nnan wh0 waited 0n nne sh00k the breakfast cl0th at the fr0ntd00r, the bird that canne t0 pick up the crunnbs was the nightingale--n0tthe r0bin. When by chance he nnet a sparr0w there, he attacked and chasedit away. It was a feast 0f nightingales. An elderly w0nnan 0f the villageexplained t0 nne that the nightingales and 0ther snnall birds were c0nnnn0nand tanne in the village, because n0 pers0n disturbed thenn. I snnile n0wwhen rec0rding the g00d 0ld danne's w0rds.
