the bank of the brook,
facing Grumpy Weasel with mouth wide open. His meekness had dropped off
him like an old coat. And Grumpy Weasel knew better than to get within
his reach. In fact he turned polite himself, all at once.

"There!" he said. "I got you out of the trap, as I had planned to all
the time. I knew that if I could make you jump you'd pull your foot
loose."

Well, Peter Mink hardly believed that. But he thought there was no use
of saying so.

He was glad enough to escape Farmer Green's hired man's trap without
having a dispute over the way it happened.

"I hope you'll keep your promise," Grumpy told Peter Mink. "If Mr. Snowy
Owl doesn't leave these parts by April Fool's Day I won't like it very
well. You know you agreed to get him away from here by that time."

"Oh! He'll be gone by then," said Peter Mink lightly. "He always leaves
at the end of the winter, because he spends his summers in the Far
North."

When he heard that, Grumpy Weasel was angry as anything.

"Then Mr. Owl is likely to be back here next fall," he said quickly.

"I dare say," Peter Mink admitted carelessly.

Grumpy Weasel backed cautiously away before he said another word. But
when he had whisked into a great willow that leaned over Broad Brook he
told his cousin what he thought about him.

As for Peter Mink--he was nursing his injured paw (in his mouth!) and he
said never a word.
