The hedge was rather thinner at the bottom; and, by carefully pushing aside a little of the glossy, prickly foliage, he was able to make out that the end of the rose-bed he had lately examined was separated from him now only by the dividing barrier of the hedge.
We followed, picking our way out, and jumping and scrambling up, walking over briers and prickly pears, until we came to the top.
So he kept on, and all of a sudden when he was walking past a prickly briar bush, he heard a voice calling: "Hey, Uncle Wiggily, come on in here." "Ha! Who are you, and why do you want me to come in there?" asked the old gentleman rabbit. "Oh, I am a friend of yours," was the answer, "and I will give you a lot of money if you come in here."
"There is sure to be a village near the lake, and the first person who came across us and questioned us would find us out." "I shall not be sorry to stop at all," Jack said, "for these loose yellow slipper things are horrid for walking in. I have tried going barefoot for a bit, but there are prickly things in the grass and I soon had to give that up."
"This is a rough place," said Jim; "but a lion could get over the second wall here, an' I believe a man could too. The hounds seemed to be back further toward where the split narrows." Through densely massed cedars and thickets of prickly thorns we wormed our way to come out at the neck of the gorge. "There ye are!" sang out Jim.

"I've told my Charlie," she said, "to keep clear of Hughs a bit. They comes out as prickly as hedgehogs. Pick a quarrel as soon as look at you, they will."
"It might have been, but it was prickly looking with the mustache all over your chin, and I like you lots better this way. I almost didn't know you the night you got supper for us, either." "And the rice burned."
"But this is never prickly heat." "No, it's London. It's breathing bad air. But tomorrow it'll be all right. There's a surgeon aboard, so I shall be in safe hands. I must be off now." "Not you," said I, pushing him back into a chair. "This is past a joke. You don't move from here until a doctor sees you. Just stay where you are."
