Mrs. Ryder Rabbit in "An Unpleasant Surprise"

Legs are very useful when you want to run away;
Long, sharp teeth are splendid if to fight you want to stay;
But a far, far greater blessing, whether one may stay or quit, Is a clever, trusty, quick and ever ready wit.
Ryder Rabbit.

Ryder Rabbit sat in a snug hiding-place in the Old Pasture and thought over what he had found out about the strange Rabbit whose tracks he had followed.
