    Chapter Nine


    "T’was brilling and the slithey toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe," muttered Patsy under her breath, as she and Jay sailed through the bible black night, towards the kennels of the Berkeley Hunt.
    "All mimsy were the borogroves and the mome raths outgrabe…"

    Chapter Eight.

    (The Hound Who Wouldn’t Sing.)

    One fine evening, when she was supposed to be tucked up in bed, Jay was wandering through the copse next to the gravel pit, talking nonsense to Patsy, whilst taking an occasional snuffle of her raggie and wondering if her absence was noticed at home.
