You wouldn't have me going about in a continuous state of unbuttonedness and black bombazine like Mrs. Rabbet, would you?" Rudolph Musgrave debated as to this.

" Under May he furnishes us with a second and not less appetising menu: "Butter and sage are now the wholesome Breakfast, but fresh cheese and cream are meat for a dainty mouth; the early Peascods and Strawberries want no price with great Bellies; but the Chicken and the Duck are fatted for the Market; the sucking Rabbet is frequently taken in the Nest, and many a Gosling never lives to be a Goose.

I'm all ears, as the rabbit said to the weasel.

I got with the giant, who is a coward in his own right, and told him the only trouble about these great plantations in the south was the wild dogs that inhabited the mountains, that would not hesitate to attack a man if they got good and hungry, but there was no danger to him, because he was a good sprinter, and could outrun a jack rabbit.

In the ravine below John Watson's house trees cracked ominously in the frost, and not even a rabbit was stirring.

* CHAPTER XXIV THE RABBIT AND THE HEN "You had foxes up in Maine, I suppose, Mr. Wood, hadn't you?" asked Mr. Maxwell.

When we snared a rabbit, I always wanted to find it caught around the neck and strangled to death.

When they got nearer, I saw that there was a white rabbit hopping up the road, followed by a white hen.

Just as soon as the hen saw me, she fluttered in front of the rabbit, and, spreading out her wings, clucked angrily, and acted as if she would peck my eyes out if I came nearer.

I did not wonder that the rabbit wanted to see his master.

Perhaps they might catch sight of a rabbit to repay them for their exertions.

He rebuilt the snare and baited it with parts of a rabbit he had shot.

But there is another thing that presses so hard that you can think of nothing else, for example, if you have given away a rabbit, you regret it afterwards.

You must think of something dreadful, like a large fire, when everything is burnt up, the fortress and the soldiers in it and all historical books, andall at once you think everything backwards and you have everything; then you are so glad that you think: what difference does a rabbit make?

From behind these old houses, Mr. Allerdyke, there's a perfect rabbit-warren of alleys, courts, slums, twists, and turns!

"He's the finest rabbit dog ever was, Ma!

If your father was a black rabbit"he raised the forefinger of his left"and your mother was a white rabbit, then your male children would be"he raised all the other fingers and paused as though taken aback by the size of the family"would be blue guinea-pigs, with a tendency to club-foot and astigmatism, but your female children might only be rather clumsy tangoists with a weakness for cutting their poor relations.

And my aunt Maria is a truly good womancharities and all thatbut if you put a rabbit in her brain it would incontinently curl up and die in convulsions.
