Disgustedly, Jordan flung open the motor door. "Well, my God, you've got about as much brains and heart as a chipmunk. Climb in!" Later, as the two separated, Morse said, with low-pitched voice: "Now, then, I'm going to plan to get Jinnie. Might's well be hung for a sheep's a lamb I'm just as well satisfied that Bates is dead.

"It has been still as the village street during mass." "What, then, have they done, those English? They must have taken the fort without firing a gun. And the Sioux-you have not seen him?"

In fact, he is quite as much at home in trees as is Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and a lot more at home in trees than is Striped Chipmunk, although Striped Chipmunk belongs to the Squirrel family.

He has an exceeding sharp call, and makes his home in grassy meadows from the level of the Lake nearly to the summits of the highest peaks. The "copper-head" is the other ground-squirrel, though by some he may be regarded as a chipmunk, for he has a striped back. The flying squirrel is also found here. It comes out only at night and lives in holes in trees.

He knew that Happy Jack and the Chatterer have great appetites, and he wanted to be sure that there was plenty of good things to eat. And as he scurried along, he sang a little song. "Thanksgiving comes but once a year, But when it comes it brings good cheer.
Some people are stupid and walk into trouble. Grandfather Frog was both heedless and stupid and jumped into trouble. When Striped Chipmunk told him where the spring was, it seemed to him that he couldn't wait to reach it.
