HOUSE OR WINDOW FLIES
These little indoor dwellers in cottages
These little indoor dwellers in cottages and halls, were always
entertaining to me, after dancing in the window all day from
sunrise to sun-set they would sip of the tea, drink of the beer,
and eat of the sugar, and be welcome all summer long, they
look like things of mind or fairries, and seemed pleased or
dull as the weather permits in many clean cottages, and
genteel houses, they are allowed every liberty to creep, fly,
or do as they like, and seldom or ever do wrong, in fact they
are the small or dwarfish portion of our own family, and so
many fairy familiars that we know and treat as one of
ourselves
