Excerpt: \"Youâd have thought every wing and paw in the Woods and Fields (except the Bad Little Owls, of course) would have been glad to know that Silvertip the Fox was caught. âSpecially Nibble Rabbit, who started the hunt, and wise old Doctor Muskrat, who planned it, and Tommy Peeleâs good dog, Watch, and Trailer the Hound, who were still barking on his trail way out in the middle of the Deep Woods. For Silvertip was just as clever as he was wicked; the very last thing heâd done was to fool those two dogs again. I sâpose old Grandpop Snapping Turtle, who did the catching wasâglad, I mean. But Doctor Muskrat just looked very, very sober, and Nibble felt the shivers run from the puff on his tufty tail to the tips of his tickly whiskers whenever he thought about it. They didnât have a word to say while they waited for the two hunters to come back to the meeting-place by the flat stone at the edge of the Pond.\" |
