Nepeese and Pierrot came over the slope, and at the same instant they saw both Wakayoo and Baree.
Where they entered into the grassy dip under the rock walls, Baree turned sharply to the right.

Here was a great boulder, one end of it tilted up off the earth.

It looked like a splendid hiding place, and Baree crawled under it.
But Wakayoo kept straight ahead into the meadow.
From where he lay Baree could see what happened.

Scarcely had he crawled under the rock when Nepeese and Pierrot appeared through the break in the dip, and stopped.

The fact that they stopped thrilled Baree.
