“You see, although Peter Rabbit couldn’t fight for his little baby brother and is usually very, very timid, he isn’t altogether a coward. Indeed, he had been very brave, very brave indeed. He had gone up to Farmer Brown’s and had jumped right under the nose of Bowser the Hound. Now that is something that Bowser the Hound never can stand. So off he had started after Peter Rabbit. And Peter Rabbit had started back for the Green Meadows as fast as his long legs could take him, for he knew that if once Bowser the Hound caught sight of Reddy Fox, he would forget all about such a thing as a saucy rabbit.” The Adventures of Peter Cottontail by Thornton W. Burgess.
