Londoners, I think, scarcely recognise the fact that the otter is one of the last links between the wild past of ancient England and the present days of high civilisation. The beaver is gone, but the otter remains, and comes so near the mighty City as just the other side of the well-known Lock, the portal through which a thousand boats at holiday time convey men and women to breathe pure air.
At once he began to plan how he could secure that particular fat trout Little Joe Otter guarded so carefully. Jimmy Skunk was quite contented with the eggs he had stolen from old Gray Goose that is, he was until he saw the plump chicken Reddy Fox had brought from Farmer Brown's dooryard.

"Well now, Eve for I intend to call you by that name in future, except when in the presence of your people I must talk this matter over with your mother and Big Otter.
