As soon as the coast was clear
Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny
came out of the bushes--

"Now for it! Run in, Cousin
Benjamin! Run in and get them
while I watch at the door."

But Benjamin was frightened--

"Oh; oh! they are coming back!"

"No they are not."

"Yes they are!"

"What dreadful bad language!
I think they have fallen down the
stone quarry."

Still Benjamin hesitated, and
Peter kept pushing him--

"Be quick, it's all right. Shut
the oven door, Cousin Benjamin,
so that he won't miss them."

Decidedly there were lively
doings in Mr. Tod's kitchen!
