"There, dear Fanny," he said, "we have brought it all the way from Glen
Tulloch. I bought it with some money which papa gave me to do what I
liked with. But I was afraid it might die on the journey, so I did not
like to offer it you till arrived safely here. Will you take it, dear
Fanny, and call it Pecksy? I hope it will be a happier little Pecksy
than the last."

For a moment Norman hung down his head, and then he looked up with a
beaming smile as Fanny kissed him, and thanked him again and again for
his gift.

Norman then begged Fanny to come up to her room, and he there pointed
out a hook which had been placed in the wall on which she might hang her
bird-cage and reach it without difficulty, though too far off the ground
for Trusty to frighten it, or for Kitty, the cat, even by exerting her
utmost agility to reach it.

Fanny thought herself the happiest little girl in existence.

She showed Norman the new Miss Lucy, whose appearance astonished him
even more than it had Fanny.

Norman spent some happy weeks at home, and Mrs Norton expressed herself
much pleased at the progress he made. The time then came for him to go
to school, and after he had been there for some time, the master wrote
word that he was among the most attentive and obedient of his pupils,
and that he had not a word of complaint to make of him. All his friends
felt very happy on receiving this information, and Fanny looked forward
with delight for his return home for the holidays.

He maintained his character, and though it cannot be said he has no
faults, he undoubtedly does his best to overcome them, and I shall be
very glad if all the young readers of this tale, will endeavour to do
the same--trusting to the same help which he sought and obtained.
