I will go to town to-morrow and get Susan a pair of spectacles." Tippy Toes said, "Oh Pa, may I go with you to town to-morrow?" Papa Cotton-Tail said, "Who will roll out the cookies for Mother Cotton-Tail? Who will run her little errands all day?" Then Tippy Toes danced this way, and he danced that way, and sang, "Who will do errands? Whom do you suppose? Who will roll cookies? Little Tippy Toes."
"Bushy-Tail went swimming away, But he'll come back in a year and a day." "Oh" and "Ah" and "Oh" and "Ah," cried all the little Cotton-Tails, "Bushy-Tail is swimming away is he?" They all went merrily to bed. The next morning Grandpa Grumbles called out, "The Cotton-Tails are all in bed, Every one is a sleepy-head." "My fur and whiskers, we have overslept," said Bunny Cotton-Tail.
"Of course, you're whipped and all cut to pieces. You was that when you heard the first gun crack." "Get out of the way, and let him run himself to death. That's all he's fit for." "You've no business in men's clothes. Put on petticoats." "Go it, rabbit; go it, cotton-tail you've heard a dog bark." "Chickee chickee skip for the barn. Hawk's in the air." "Let him alone.
The ladies and Mr, Hale and the children watched the two gentlemen from the window, all but little Eddo, whose mother was playing bo-peep with him to prevent him from looking out. A handsome rattlesnake was winding his way up the mountain in pursuit of a tiny baby rabbit. The little "cotton-tail" was running for the castle as fast as he could, intending to hide in a hole under the door-stone.
Bunny and Susan said, "We do not know, we are too old and stiff to make a garden." "You will miss the turnips and cabbages," said Doctor Cotton-Tail. Then he added, "I came in a wagon, and as the Seventeen Little Bears are quite well, I can take them home." Then the Seventeen Little Bears began to weep loud and long. They wept into their seventeen little pocket handkerchiefs.
They are everywhere, and afford good shooting between coveys, it being quick work to get a cotton-tail as he flashes between the net-work of protecting cactus. Coyotes lope away in our front, but they are too wild for a shot-gun. It must ever be in a man's mind to keep his direction, because it is such a vastly simple thing to get lost in the chaparral, where you cannot see a hundred yards.
"I'm just as happy as I can be, The Circus life is the life for me." Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes jumped down from the merry-go-round and danced this way and danced that way, and for all I know they are dancing yet!

It was the second little jacket and pair of shoes that Peter had lost in a fortnight! I am sorry to say that Peter was not very well during the evening. His mother put him to bed, and made some camomile tea; and she gave a dose of it to Peter! "One tablespoonful to be taken at bed-time."

The mirror answered, "Snubby Nose." "My fur and whiskers, the room is all clean!" Bunny Cotton-Tail cried. Susan Cotton-Tail cried, "Bless my buttons, everything is in order." Grandpa Grumbles said, "There is a mystery in the air, There is something strange, I do declare."
For one breath there was an appalling silence on the mountainside. The Apaches stood like a group of bronzes. The eagle who lived on the Elephant's side hung motionless high above the road.
