The keeper's wife, who had the charge over them, came out: 'Oh, my Lord, I am so sorry! They pretty ducks! 'Ha! the foxes? 'I wish it was, my Lord; but it is they poachers out at Marksedge that are so daring, they would come anywheres and you see the ducks would roost up in the trees, and you said I was not to shut 'em up at night.

His mother shook her head. "You're spry for your age. But you're too slow to escape a Fox. You're not quick enough for that yet. You don't know how quick Foxes are. So look out!
