Somebody told him, Mr. Robin said, that we manage to live well and generally come through the winter in pretty fair order, though I can tell by the way my clothes hang on me that I've lost several pounds since Mr. Man built that new wire-protected pen for his chickens."

His name is Savage Aspetuck Savage one of those Sinking Swamp Savages, and he's hungry and pretty fierce.
