            … The Parrot, when he knows (?) that I am in U’s study (next to the living-room in which his cage lives), has taken to calling “Boss [Hunter]!”*, whistling urgently (and piercingly), and making other vulgar noises.  He rarely talks much if he feels he is being watched; but I came in unobserved a few minutes ago and watched him talk for a few minutes before he saw me and became horribly embarrassed.


*but who taught him?  No one else calls me that.
