But no: he had not paused for that, and as he stood scarce three ells from my hiding place I heard him mutter to himself; and I knew by what thou hadst told me, and by his tall form and long white beard, that it was Long Robin who was so near. "And couldst thou hear what he said?"
When Diamond's rhymes grew scarce, he always began dancing the baby. Some people wondered that such a child could rhyme as he did, but his rhymes were not very good, for he was only trying to remember what he had heard the river sing at the back of the north wind. DIAMOND became a great favourite with all the men about the mews.

When the food of the animal is scarce, his flesh must be dear. This, one would suppose, would require no great penetration to discover.
