"Keep it for? you cowards," said Harry, stuffing the animal into his pocket; "you'll see to-morrow, when we are off rabbiting: why, it's the best ferret for miles round."
The world had slipped its sanity a bit, as dogs now and again at full moon slipped theirs and went off for a night's rabbiting; but the world, like the dog, knew where its bread was buttered and its bed warm, and would come back sure enough to the only home worth having to private ownership. The world was in its second childhood for the moment, like old Timothy eating its titbit first!

It was very difficult. Nancy was used to having her own way, and for years she had been used to going off with Edward, ratting, rabbiting, catching salmon down at Fordingbridge, district-visiting of the sort that Edward indulged in, or calling on the tenants.
Generally very much of Badgwick Hall. Came down last summer on Prize Day. One would have thought from the side on him that he was all sorts of dooks. Anyhow, Morton-Smith took me rabbiting there. I didn't know it was against the rules or anything. Had a grand time. A few days afterwards, Milord Sir Venner copped him on the hop and he got sacked. There was an awful row.
"I've seen one something like it before," he went on "ages ago, when I was a little chap, and Harry Wharton and I were out rabbiting. By the way " he stopped short "do you see that that fellow's come back?" "I saw the paragraph in the Times this morning," said Aldous, drily.
Mebbe you're hungry now." There was no maybe in the matter, judging from the number of slices of bread and butter and hard-boiled plovers' eggs the lads consumed. Over the meal the question of the draining was discussed sympathetically. "No fish," said Dick. "No decoy," said Tom. "No plovers' eggs," said Dave. "No rabbiting," said Dick. "No eeling," said Tom. "No nothing," said Dave.
"That's a rude question which I am not going to answer. But, Trevor, you you shouldn't have sent me all that money. It's much more than I want." "I'm glad to hear it," he said; and, after a moment, "I hope you will spend it profitably." "Oh, yes." Eagerly she made reply. "I've bought a new collar for Cinders such a beauty, with bells! I thought it would be so useful if he went rabbiting." "What!
"I wouldn't have fired my gun if I had known what the consequences were going to be, but them poaching devils that come round here rabbiting fairly send me furious and that's a fact. It ain't that one grudges them a few rabbits, but my tame pheasants all run out here from the home wood, and I've seen feathers at the side of the road there that no fox nor stoat had nothing to do with.
This time to-morrow I shall be blazing away at a grouse drive." From grouse they fell to talking of shooting, of old scenes, of rabbiting and ferreting, of cricket matches, schoolfellows and scrapes. Suddenly Douglas sprang to his feet and pointed to the clock. "Half-past one, I must run!
