Part 4

It was one of those cathedral-like clumps 191

They were watching me 192

A triumph of love and duty over fear 199

He wants to know where I am and what I am about 203

In the agony of death 205

Calamity is hot on his track 212

Bunny, meantime, is watching just inside the next brier-patch 215

The squat is a cold place 217

The limp, lifeless one hanging over the neck of that fox 220

His drop is swift and certain 225

Seven young ones in the nest 231

The land of the mushroom 239

Witch-hazel 244

I knew it suited exactly 252

With tail up, head cocked, very much amazed, and commenting vociferously 254

In a solemn row upon the wire fence 257

Young flying-squirrels 258

The sentinel crows are posted 260

She turned and fixed her big black eyes hard on me 265

Wrapped up like little Eskimos 266

It is no longer a sorry forest of battered, sunken stumps 269

Even the finger-board is a living pillar of ivy 272

A family of seven young skunks 284

The family followed 289

"Spring! spring! spring!" 300

A wretched little puddle 303

He was trying to swallow something 307

In a state of soured silence 322
