There are probably others; and we don't know that it would lead us out. The other way would." "It makes me ill to think of the other way," said Venning, vehemently. "It looks like a rabbit-hole." "I'll go first." "It may mean another night, if it takes up much time." "I'm sure it's right," persisted the boy.
But I think I am a foolish old man to give a watch to a young thing like you, for you'll only go and drop it down the first rabbit-hole you and Silky go scratching into; but I thought it might be useful in keeping you up to time with that governess of yours. No excuse for being late, eh? The date too an important one, isn't it? Well, my child, I wish you many happy years."
The boys sat cross-legged around the fire, while Jean turned the bacon and broke the eggs into the sputtering fat. "You look just exactly like Tam watching the rabbit-hole," laughed Jean. "I wonder you don't paw the ground and bark!" At last the scones were handed out, each one laden with a slice of bacon and a fried egg, and there was blissful silence for some moments.
And becoming impatient, he began to curse at his supposed friend for advising him to put his head in a rabbit-hole, vigorously announcing that he wished his head was there instead of his own. "Aa cud hae run if ye hadn't persuaded me t' hide heor." "Hae patience!" responded the voice from without. "Patience be d !" said he; "Aa wish aa had them Government men heor.
With a sigh of great contentment, Lawless spread his broad hands before the fire, and seemed to breathe the smoke. "Here, then," he said, "is this old Lawless's rabbit-hole; pray Heaven there come no terrier!
The wood was some fifty yards in length, and as it was uncertain at which point the passage had come out, a very minute search had to be made. "What do you think it would be like, Cnut?" Cuthbert asked. "Like enough to a rabbit-hole, or more likely still there would be no hole whatever.
Perhaps we may find room to stay where we are, after all, till morning. Come here, Ebony, you've got something of the eel about you. Try if you can wriggle in." The negro at once thrust his head and shoulders into the hole, but could not advance. "Bery strange!" he said, drawing out his head, and snorting once or twice like a dog that has half-choked himself in a rabbit-hole.
But the old vixen kept her larder near her old quarters, instead of burying her supplies for a rainy day close to the hole where she had her cubs. Perhaps she was meditating moving the litter to this earth on some future occasion. I shall never forget discovering this litter. When looking down a rabbit-hole I heard a scuffle.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly, that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself, before she found herself falling down what seemed a deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her, and to wonder what would happen next.
"Well, what is it?" shouted Carroway. "Robin Lyth has made his land-fall on Burlington Sands, opposite your honor's door, sir. There was only two of us to stop him, and the man as is deaf and dumb." "I know it," said Carroway, too wroth to swear. "My boy of eight years old is worth the entire boiling of you. You got into a rabbit-hole, and ran to tell your mammy."
