"Thank you," shouted all the Merry Little Breezes. "We won't forget." Then they ran a race to see who could reach Johnny Chuck's home first and tell him that Farmer Brown was coming down on the Green Meadows with a gun. Johnny Chuck and Reddy Fox lived very near together on the edge of the Green Meadows. Johnny Chuck was fat and roly-poly. Reddy Fox was slim and wore a bright red coat.
She was eager to see if he was intelligent enough to say nothing and he was. He just paused. "I feel lonely." "I'll be out soon" He jiggled the knob. "How come you got that thing locked? I wanna play checkers." His egocentric words grated on her nerves no different than barking dogs in the trailer park. "I'm gonna ride my bike over to Chuck's." "Not this late you're not."
How long will it be before chuck's ready, Kate?" Kate told him half an hour, and he went off down the creek, keeping at the edge of the little meadow, with a change of clothing under his arm and a big bath towel hung over his shoulder. The two men followed him listlessly, too tired, evidently, to care much what they did.
Sun never tells one of them, not even to Old Mother West Wind when at night they go down together behind the Purple Hills. So jolly, round, red Mr. Sun just smiled and smiled when he discovered Johnny Chuck's secret, for that is just what the new home under the apple tree was a secret. Not even the Merry Little Breezes, who find out almost everything, had discovered it.
"Oh, because Taffy and I are on the outs, and she wouldn't dance with me for anything," he replied indifferently. "She might," was all Phyllis would say, her brain already busy with a plan. "Too bad your twin doesn't dance," was Chuck's next remark, and for a minute Phyllis lost step and almost stumbled. He had used the word without thinking, never realizing how near the truth he was.
And just as the old chap reached for the second coat Nimble Deer had to cough. He didn't want to. Hadn't Jimmy Rabbit cautioned him not to stir not to open his mouth? But the cough came all the same, right in Uncle Jerry Chuck's ear. And Uncle Jerry jumped. He dropped both hats and both coats. And then he waddled off as fast as he could go and scrambled over the stone wall, out of sight.
"Chuck's joking," Parker said; "he always was foolish " "Uncle Josiah," Carolyn June asked suddenly, "can you take Ophelia to Eagle Butte to-day?" "I Parker can," Old Heck answered, "if he can drive the car. Still there are probably some pretty bad washouts " Ophelia looked quickly at Old Heck, interested by the note she detected in his voice.
There were Peter's tracks, and they pointed straight towards the inside of Johnny Chuck's old house. Jimmy looked carefully, but not a single track pointing the other way could he find. Then he chuckled again. "The scamp is here all right," he muttered.
The fact is, this old house of Johnny Chuck's had been deserted so long the Yellow Jackets had decided that as no one else was using it, they would, and they had begun to build their home just inside the hall. Poor Peter! What could he do? He didn't dare go out, and he simply couldn't stay where he was.
It had been the narrowest escape Peter had had for a long, long time.
