Mrs. Ryder Rabbit in "Ryder Rabbit's Nursery"

Of course all of Ryder's friends called as soon as ever they could. They found Ryder looking very proud, and very important, and very happy. Mrs. Ryder looked just as proud, and just as happy, but she also looked very anxious. You see, while she was very glad to have so many friends call, there were also other visitors. That is, they were not exactly callers, but they hung around the outside of the Old Briar-patch, and they seemed quite as much interested as the friends who really called.
