"They could travel no further because of the high mountains which ring in the land, so say the old voices of our fathers that have descended to us the children, and so says Gagool, the wise woman, the smeller out of witches," and again he pointed to the snow-clad peaks.
"Mother Wa-poose," said he after a while, "what makes you wriggle your nose so?" "Oh," said Mother Wa-poose, "I do that to keep my smeller clear. You see we have so many enemies that we have to be on the watch all the time, and I can smell a fox or a dog almost as far as I can see them. You see I always sit with my nose to the wind, and my ears in the other direction.
"My nose feels as if I had bumped it," said Bunny, rubbing his "smeller" as he sometimes called it. "Though I don't remember doing it," he went on. "I guess you did it when you jumped out of your seat," said his mother. "We all jumped, it came so suddenly." "And I dropped my Teddy bear and Uncle Tad stepped on her," murmured Sue with sorrow in her tones.
'Oh! it ain't over much. I got in with a smeller afore he came right down with his slogger. But I say, I hope as how you are a friend of Mr. Falconer's, for you see we can't afford the likes of this in this quarter for every chance that falls in Slicer's way. Gentlemen has no business here. 'On the contrary, I mean to come again soon, to thank you all for being so good to me.
'Tapped his smeller, by ! thundered Dickon, with a roar of laughter. 'Come away, Milly I'm growing ill, said I. 'Drop it, Dudley, I tell ye; you'll kill him, screamed Milly. But the devoted Captain, whose nose, and mouth, and shirt-front formed now but one great patch of blood, and who was bleeding beside over one eye, dashed at him again. I turned away.
Indeed, I think a good smeller will enjoy its most refined intensity. It approaches the sublime, and makes the nose tingle. It is tonic and bracing, and, I can readily believe, has rare medicinal qualities. I do not recommend its use as eyewater, though an old farmer assures me it has undoubted virtues when thus applied.
BILL hits JACK. JACK doubles himself up. Bill. Jim, our Mattie ain't like other gals; I never see her out afore this blessed day upon my word and honour, Jim, never! Jack. You don't know a joke from a jemmy, Bill. Bill. I'll joke you! A hangel tips you a tart, and you plucks her feathers! Get on t'other side of the way, you little dirty devil, or I'll give you another smeller cheap too.
"You don't know what a fright I felt in when I did it; but I was in such a passion that I was obliged to hit something." "And so you did, sir, a regular smeller. I don't believe a French or a Jarman boy would ha' done it." "Nonsense, Bob." "Oh, no, it aren't, my lad; it's some sense, and it's taught me a deal." "What do you mean?"

Close by her side in the clover-field or the thicket he would sit and copy her when she wobbled her nose 'to keep her smeller clear, and pull the bite from her mouth or taste her lips to make sure he was getting the same kind of fodder. Still copying her, he learned to comb his ears with his claws and to dress his coat and to bite the burrs out of his vest and socks.
