What
then
,
has
friend
Dick
promised
?
"
asked
Harris
,
smiling
.
"
Some
humming-birds
,
sir
.
"
"
And
you
shall
have
some
humming-birds
,
my
good
little
man
,
but
farther
on
--
farther
on
,
"
replied
Harris
.
The
fact
is
that
little
Jack
had
a
right
to
claim
some
of
these
charming
creatures
,
for
he
was
now
in
a
country
where
they
should
abound
.
The
Indians
,
who
know
how
to
weave
their
feathers
artistically
,
have
lavished
the
most
poetical
names
on
those
jewels
of
the
flying
race
.
They
call
them
either
the
"
rays
"
or
the
"
hairs
of
the
sun
.
"
Here
,
it
is
"
the
little
king
of
the
flowers
;
"
there
,
"
the
celestial
flower
that
comes
in
its
flight
to
caress
the
terrestrial
flower
.
"
It
is
again
"
the
bouquet
of
jewels
,
which
sparkles
in
the
fire
of
the
day
.
"
It
can
be
believed
that
their
imagination
would
know
how
to
furnish
a
new
poetical
appellation
for
each
of
the
one
hundred
and
fifty
species
which
constitute
this
marvelous
tribe
of
humming-birds
.
Meanwhile
,
however
numerous
these
humming-birds
might
be
in
the
forests
of
Bolivia
,
little
Jack
was
obliged
to
still
content
himself
with
Harris
's
promise
.
According
to
the
American
,
they
were
still
too
close
to
the
coast
,
and
the
humming-birds
did
not
like
these
deserts
so
near
the
ocean
.
The
presence
of
man
did
not
frighten
them
at
the
"
hacienda
;
"
they
heard
nothing
all
day
but
their
cry
of
"
teretere
"
and
the
murmur
of
their
wings
,
similar
to
that
of
a
spinning-wheel
.
"
Ah
!
how
I
should
like
to
be
there
!
"
cried
little
Jack
.
The
surest
method
of
getting
there
--
to
the
"
hacienda
"
of
San
Felice
--
was
not
to
stop
on
the
road
.
Mrs.
Weldon
and
her
companions
only
took
the
time
absolutely
necessary
for
repose
.
The
aspect
of
the
forest
already
changed
.
Between
the
less
crowded
trees
large
clearings
opened
here
and
there
.
The
sun
,
piercing
the
green
carpet
,
then
showed
its
structure
of
red
,
syenite
granite
,
similar
to
slabs
of
lapis-lazuli
.
On
some
heights
the
sarsaparilla
abounded
,
a
plant
with
fleshy
tubercles
,
which
formed
an
inextricable
tangle
.
The
forest
,
with
the
narrow
paths
,
was
better
for
them
.
Before
sunset
the
little
troop
were
about
eight
miles
from
the
point
of
departure
.
This
journey
had
been
made
without
accident
,
and
even
without
great
fatigue
.
It
is
true
,
it
was
the
first
journey
on
the
march
,
and
no
doubt
the
following
halting
places
would
be
rougher
.
