parrot and his mistress go to see her
often. She is confined to her bed, and
one day as they called on her she lay with

got sick of this enforced silence and called
out to the old lady; "Open your eyes
Why don't you open your eyes2"
Receiving no answer, he relapsed, only
to say, about fifteen minutes later, upon
the silence still remaining unbroken:

that he adds daily. He has visitors by
the dozens, and says to all. as he said to
the Journal man as he got up to go after
his hours VISIT
