From here he stole softly around into the barn, by a back way, and then came forward, and peeped out in front, and saw that Nappy was still there, sitting up, and looking at the door very closely. He was waiting for George to come out. Jolly. George then went back to the stall where Jolly was feeding. He went in and untied his halter, and led him out.
"I don't see that that is any harder to believe than that you are cousin to Striped Chipmunk and Nappy Jack the Gray Squirrel. To look at you no one would ever think you are a member of the Squirrel family, but you must admit that you are." Johnny Chuck nodded his head thoughtfully. "Yes," said he, "I am, even if I don't look it. This is a funny world, isn't it?
They show themselves down to the saloon, to be sure, an' I never seed one of 'em a-waterin. his liquor; but when you've sed that, you've sed ev'rythin'."
