garden of his friend Harkness and imagining marriage, came upon a
tragedy. A litter of new-born rabbits lay upon the straw scattered
about the pen. They were blind; they were hairless; they were
blue-black of body; they oscillated their heads in mute appeal. In
the center of the pen lay one of the tiny things, dead. Above the
little dead body a struggle went on. The mother rabbit fought the
father furiously. A wild fire was in her eyes. She rushed at the
huge fellow again and again. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
