A BLUE BOTTLE AND A BIRD.

"Just then a great blue-bottle settled on my nose."

I hope you won't do what I did last time. It was a day very different from this. It was very hot. I saw an animal in the ring that I did not care the least about, and just then a great blue-bottle settled on my nose. The consequence was that I bought the worst animal at a very high price.
