"Of course it will," Doctor Rabbit agreed, as he took some salve from
his medicine case.

He bandaged Ray's foot in a few minutes. But all the time that he was
bandaging it, he kept a sharp lookout for Brushtail.

"He's very sly," Doctor Rabbit said, "and I am certain that right this
minute he is planning some scheme to catch us or some of our friends."

"That's so," Ray Coon replied, looking at the bushes around him
somewhat nervously. "I do wish," he continued, "that we could think of
some plan to get rid of him for good. Then we could live happily and
have our fun as we used to do."

"Don't you worry, Neighbor Coon," Doctor Rabbit chuckled as he picked
up his medicine case and looked at Ray Coon over his big glasses.
"Don't you worry," he repeated, "I'll have a plan all in good time,
and right now I'm going in the direction he went, to see what he is up
to!"

Ray Coon seemed a little nervous again as he said, "Well, do be
careful, whatever you do, Doctor, because he looked terribly cruel,
you remember."

"Ha! ha! ha!" jolly Doctor Rabbit laughed as he started away, waving a
paw at Ray Coon, "I'll take care of myself--never fear. And I'll take
care of old Brushy Fox, too! Ha! ha! ha! Yes, I'll see what he's doing
now. Perhaps I shall catch him right away." And Doctor Rabbit slipped
away in the direction in which Brushtail had gone.
