Then once more they took turns diving into the snow. And down underneath in the little tunnels he had made, Danny Meadow Mouse was running for his life.

Chris and Jerry then rolled him over and pulled the covers off and finally pummeled the sleeper into a state of semi-consciousness. "It's time for the circus to unload," they told him. "We're all dressed, ready to go."
I was absorbed in my work, but just the same I had a wary eye on Dan. He shoved back his chair, and got up. Then he kissed his mother lightly and came out the side door, whistling. I looked up, closed the directory, snapped the lock on my note-book, and took the pencil out of my mouth. I said, 'Hello, Danny. Then I shoved the books behind me. "'Hello, Connie.

"Danny boy, don't make a fuss about it," replied Dave quietly, "but just for this once you are not to be my second." "Why " "Danny boy, you have just gotten by the Board by a hair's breadth.
