Extrait: ...the intelligent reader will probably have gathered the fact that we did not sleep well. "It isn't the little bit they ates I begridges them," quoted my cousin, as in one of the long watches of the night she wearily lit her candle for the nineteenth time, "but 'tis the continial thramplin' they keeps up." Even when the greater part of these foes was either gorged or slain, the sleep that hummed its mellow harmonies in the loft over our heads held far from us, tossing and stifling among feathers and flock pillows. It must have been about two a.m., and I had just, by various strategies, induced myself to go to sleep, when I was once more awakened, this time by a convulsive clutch of my arm. "Don't stir!" whispered my second cousin, in a voice so low that it felt like one of my own dreams, "but listen!" A stealthy sound, as of a slow, barefooted advance, crept to us, buried though we were in the perfumed depths of the flock pillows. "Whatever it is, it came out from under the bed," breathed my cousin, "and it has gone twice round the room--looking for our money, I expect!" The steps ceased for a moment, then there came a sound as of a little rush towards the bed, and in an instant something with loud flappings and rustlings had descended upon us, and rested heavily, with hollow cacklings of contentment, upon our buried forms (for I suppose I need hardly state that we had both bolted under the bedclothes). "I believe it's only the goose after all!" I said, as soon as I was sufficiently recovered to speak. "Only the goose!" returned my second cousin, with concentrated fury; " I don't see much to be grateful for in that. And how do you know it isn't the gander? I'm simply stifling here, but I...

Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... old claw outstretched for her acceptance, and plunged incontinently down a ride in the direction of the voice. In front of her stood a sombre ring of immense pine-trees, and in their shadow stood Garry and James Canavan, apparently in committee upon some small object that lay on the thick mat of moss and pine-needles. "I heard the governor talking to you," said Garry with a grin of intelligence, "and I thought you'd sooner come and look at the rat that's just come out of this hole. Stinking Jemima's been in there for the last half hour after rabbits. She's my ferret, you know, a regular ripper," he went on in excited narration, "and I expect she's got the muzzle off and is having a high old time. She's just bolted this brute." The brute in question was a young rat that lay panting on its side, unable to move, with blood streaming from its face. "Oh! the creature!" exclaimed Francie with compassionate disgust; "what"!! you do with it?" "IH take it home and try and tame it," replied Garry; "it's quite young enough. Isn't it, Canavan?" James Canavan, funereal in his black coat and rusty tall hat, was regarding the rat meditatively, and at the question he picked up Garry's stick and balanced it in his hand. "Voracious animals that we hate, Cats, rats, and bats deserve their fate," he said pompously, and immediately brought the stick down on the rat's head with a determination that effectually disposed of all plans for its future, educational or otherwise. Garry and Francie cried out together, but James Canavan turned his back unregardingly upon them and his victim, and stalked back to Sir Benjamin, whose imprecations, since Francie's escape, had been pleasantly audible. "The old beast!" said Garry, looking resentfully after his late ally;...
