After they had sat in the shade for a while, in the green, grassy place, Ted and Janet wandered off among the trees, leaving Trouble by himself. But they were not going far. "He'll be all right for a little while," said Teddy, "and maybe we can find some sassafras or wintergreen."

"High, you're the best I ever stacked up against, exceptin' one, and it's right curious that he is just a-ridin' into this powwow. If you want to see what real shootin' is, get him to show you."

An' his tail's the same, exceptin' it has even more education still. It can wag, besides standin' up an' layin' down.
