Dick o’ the Fens

CHAPTER ELEVEN
7/25

That's the ways." Dick took the hare in his arms, and the trembling beast submitted without a struggle.
"How did you know it was there ?" said Tom.
"How did I know she was theer! Why, she had her ears cocked-up listening, plain enough to see.

She's got a wife somewheers about." "_She's_ got a wife! Why don't you say _He_ ?" cried Dick.

"Now, Tom, I'm going to let him go; but he won't run, he's a sick one.

You'll see.
Anyone could catch a hare like this." He carefully placed the hare upon the ground, holding tightly by its ears.
"There," he cried; "I told you so! Look how stupid and--Oh!" The hare made one great leap, and then hardly seemed to touch the ground again with its muscular hind-legs; but went off at a tremendous rate, bounding over heath and tuft, till it disappeared in the distance.
"There's a sleepy sick one for you, Mester Dick!" cried Dave.
