The Journal of a Disappointed Man

June
9.
During
dinner
hour,
between
morning
and
afternoon
school,
went
out
on
the
S----
B----
River
Bank,
and
found
another
Sedge
Warbler's
nest.
This
is
the
fifth
I
have
found
this
year.
People
who
live
opposite
on
the
T----
V----
hear
them
sing
at
night
and
think
they
are
Nightingales!
June
27.
On
reviewing
the
past
egg-season,
I
find
in
all
I
have
discovered
232
nests
belonging
to
forty-four
species.
I
only
hope
I
shall
be
as
successful
with
the
beetle-season.
August
15.
A
hot,
sultry
afternoon,
during
most
of
which
I
was
stretched
out
on
the
grass
beside
an
upturned
stone
where
a
battle
royal
was
fought
between
Yellow
and
Black
Ants.
The
victory
went
to
the
hardy
little
Yellows....
By
the
way,
I
held
a
Newt
by
the
tail
to-day
and
it
emitted
a
squeak!
So
that
the
Newt
has
a
voice
after
all.
August
26.
In
bed
with
a
feverish
cold.
I
am
afraid
I
have
very
few
Nat.
His.
observations
to
make.
It
is
hard
to
observe
anything
at
all
when
lying
in
bed
in
a
dull
bedroom
with
one
small
window.
Gulls
and
Starlings
pass,
steam
engines
whistle,
horses'
feet
clatter
down
the
street,
and
sometimes
the
voice
of
a
passer-by
reaches
me,
and
often
the
loud
laugh
that
speaks
the
vacant
mind.
I
can
also
hear
my
own
cough
echoing
through
my
head,
and,
by
the
evening,
the
few
pages
of
Lubbock's
Ants,
Bees,
and
Wasps
which
I
struggled
to
get
through
during
the
day
rattle
through
my
brain
till
I
am
disgusted
to
find
I
have
them
by
heart.
The
clock
strikes
midnight
and
I
wait
for
the
morning.
Oh!
what
a
weary
world.
