The only difference between these new garments and those we were then wearing was that they were trimmed with the fur of the silver fox instead of the gray squirrel. The next thing was to prepare cakes, which were to be placed before the Buddhas and ancestors, during the New Year. It was necessary that Her Majesty should make the first one herself.
He's as strong as a horse, and as active as a squirrel; he can handle an oar and sail a boat. I didn't like the thought of his landing here and getting into bad hands, so I thought I would come straight to you. He said what he wanted to do was to work on the river, for a few months at any rate, until he got to know the place.
It never came into the heads of the silly creatures that those wonderful stories they had been told originated in an artful scheme of the greedy black squirrel, to induce them to leave their warm pleasant house in the oak, that he and his children might come and live in it, and get the hoards of grain, and nuts, and acorns, that their father and mother had been laying up for winter stores.
And he went down closer to the fox. "All right!" said the gnat; "all right, I'll go!" And off he flew, delighted to be entrusted with so great a secret. While the courtiers were thus intriguing, not only against Kapchack, but against each other, Bevis and the squirrel went back into the raspberries, and Bevis helped himself to the fruit that had ripened since yesterday.
"I'll tell you put the boys in the dory, and I'll send you and the luggage over in the long-boat." "Get down there, boys," commented Uncle Dick, briefly, pointing to the rope-ladder. "Are you afraid to go down the ladder?" Rob's answer was to make a spring for the top of the ladder, and down he went hand over hand, followed by the others, each of whom could climb like a squirrel.
All three followed as fast as they could run; but on reaching the tree an oak five feet thick they saw, to their mortification, the squirrel's hole about fifty feet from the ground, which, of course, brought that squirrel hunt to its termination. The next encampment of our hunters was upon the Bayou Crocodile.
Carleton broke the silence, speaking in precisely the same tone and manner he had used the last time. "Look here, Fairy," said he, pointing to a small heap of chestnut burs piled at the foot of a tree, "here's a little fortune for you already." "That's a squirrel!" said Fleda, looking at the place very attentively. "There has been nobody else here.
Lloyd and Kitty leaned lazily back against the mossy trunk, and Allison, with her arms around her knees, gazed dreamily across the river. The only one who did not seem to have fallen under the drowsy spell of the Indian summer afternoon was Gay. Up in the tree above them, she lay stretched out along a limb, peering down through the leaves like a saucy squirrel.
Their Majesties were overjoyed at the news, and the King sent for a great book, each leaf of which was eight ells long. It was the work of a very clever Fairy, and contained a description of the whole earth. He very soon found that Squirrel Island was uninhabited. 'Go, said he, to Jack-the-Chatterer, 'tell the Admiral from me to land at once.
As she crouched there, with head thrown back, and sparkling lips and eyes, her fair hair of her mother's very hue making a shining haze about her face, Amherst recalled the winter evening at Hopewood, when he and Bessy had tracked the grey squirrel under the snowy beeches. Scarcely three years ago and how bitter memory had turned!
