ChIldhOod's = dream come true. An
other presence than your own, inside
OF II, would be desecration-even
your husbands. YJu ara the hermit
thrush, and tho chalet in your nest"
The Nest she had named II forth
with.
Katherine required no key with
which to enter the Nest.
The lock which guarded it's one
door OF entrance had been made and
adjusted for her by the so-called
best lockmakers in the world. 1t
had neither dial nor keyhole: it was
invisible, and it's presence unsus-
pected-and was as great mystery
from the inside as from without
Simple enough. all OF It. 20
Katherine: yet u stranger outside Of
that chalet could not get in, and, by
the same token, a person inside OF II
and unwise to its secret, could not get
out; for the windows were guarded
as thoroughly ana as skilfully, and
by the same sort OF mechanism as the
door. When she was inside, the steel
blinds that covered them were showed
aside by the mere pressure of one of
her fingers upon the secret springs;
and even then their arrangement was
such that pryinB or curious eyes
could not see past them to the dainti-
ness and homeyness inside.
The ventilation was ample and
complete, and could he rendered
greater, or less, by the pressure OF "A
finger. Indeed. very many mysterious
things could be accomplished there
by the touch OF Katherine's fingers.
The Nest was really "A wonderful
place.
It contained every comfort and
convenience OF n tiny home; and II
stood high perched upon the blum al
one end Of the dam that was as solid
and substantial In its way as that
one Of Ashokan.
The little house was made OF uncut
hillside stones. Tho roof was OF terra
Gotta tile Tho door and the windows
were framed with oak incased In
steel. 1t was built at the pinnacle OF
the taller OF tho two bluffs, which
stood at either side OF the narrow
rlvino like scntincls on guard above
tho dam, and there was hut one path
way TO H. with a flight OF stairs al
tho top which could be transformed
into no stairs AZ all by another touch
Of one OF Katherine's fingers inside OF
the house or below tho stairs outside
OF II.
There were many other secrets
also, than those already described
connected with Katherine's whimsi-
cal hobby-but they need not be gone
into just now: we will learn NOR,
about them later on.
So she mounted tho steep path /,
tho bottom OF tho stairs, touching, ay
