The Tale of BENJAMIN BUNNY (2)

The Tale of BENJAMIN BUNNY (2)

That wood was full of rabbit holes ; and in the neatest sandiest of all, lived Benjamin's aunt and his cousins ー Frospy, Mospy, Cotton-tail and Peter.

Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow ; she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffetees ( I once bought a pair at a bazzar ).
She olso sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tabacco ( which is what we call lavender ).




Little Benjamin did not very much want to see his Aunt.



He came round the back of the fir-tree, and nearly tumbled upon the top of his Cousin Peter.

Peter was sitting by himself.
He looked poorly, and was dressed in a red cotton pocket-handkerchief.

" Peter, " said little Benjamin, in a whisper ー " who has got your clothes ? "
