“The wind was blustering again, whipping the curtains. Peter went over to close the window. The moon was now high on the eastern rise, radiant above the church where small water-cart clouds raced across the sky. About to fasten the window latch, his eye was drawn down to the garden. The fox stood under the apple tree looking up at him. The animal began to bark. Each monosyllabic yip and yap seemed to mimic human speech. By some strange power or spell, Peter could understand what the animal was saying. He heard the words loud and clear. ‘I-am Si-on,’ the fox barked. Man and beast looked unwaveringly at one another, neither moving a muscle. The wind stopped blowing, the curtains hung at rest. Peter leaned out the window. ‘What do you want from me?’ he called down. ‘Save-us-from-the-stea-lers,’ barked Sion. Peter’s mind reeled. It would be madness to believe he could understand what the fox was saying—lunacy to think he could commune with it! ‘I must still be asleep,’ he reasoned, closing the window. He sat down on the bed, folding his hands in his lap. But this is not a dream. Lying down, he pulled the bedcovers over himself. ‘Save-us! Save-us! Save-us!’ the fox kept barking from the garden.”

“Next to her a calico cat puffed away at a hubble-bubble. Puss’s watch cost more than his vest, and his vest cost more than his boots, and his boots cost more than a house. If you stripped him naked and sold off his costume, you’d walk away with enough money to retire—though if you left him alive you wouldn’t have long to enjoy it. The only thing that could rival Puss’s vanity was his sadism.”

“Wizard Hare was quite a sight, With magic powers, he took flight. He soared across the land so wide, With his wand and hat by his side. One day he met seven devils, Who were up to their usual revels. They looked at him with wicked eyes, And said, "We'll make you pay the price." But Wizard Hare was not afraid, He knew his magic could be displayed. He raised his wand and cast a spell, And sent the devils straight to hell. But they were not so easily defeated, And soon they rose up, quite conceited. They laughed and jeered at Wizard Hare, And said, "We'll get you yet, beware!" The devils plotted and schemed all night, And when the dawn broke, they took to flight. They flew to Wizard Hare's castle gate, And there they lay in wait. But Wizard Hare was not so daunted, He had a plan, his magic flaunted. He called upon the spirits of the air, And sent them forth to do his share. The spirits blew a mighty gust, And the devils were thrown into the dust. Wizard Hare then struck his wand, And sent the devils to beyond. The devils were never seen again, And Wizard Hare remained a friend. To all who knew him far and wide, With his magic wand and hat by his side.”

“He didn't need to read a book on childbirth to know that the longer this went on, thee greater the danger to both Marigold and her kid. "I'll do it." Gabe didn't know what the hell he was doing, but he was dead certain about one thing: He had to be in love with Lady Penelope Campion. Nothing less could have persuaded him to do this. Penny, this is for you. He rolled his sleeve to his biceps, drew a deep breath through his mouth, and shook out his hand. "I'm going in.”
