The cool shadows across the forest path moved as the sun moved. A lovely tawny gold fritillary, newly hatched, came by, hovering over the bushes, passing on. Then a banded white admiral with gliding graceful flight. Man and dog slept; the sun, gathering powder, made the moist fern steam. The hum of insects filled the air, the summer song of the woods.
Then the fern rustled and a face peeped out, a tiny bearded face, crowned by a bat skin cap with the ears left on. It was Dodder.
There before him lay Giant Grum, all the hairy length of him, all the sweaty man-smell of him, fast asleep! This giant killed Otter, Otter of the gentle eyes, whose joy was the running water and spotted shingle.
The sides of the sleeping dog went in and out gently; the hind legs quivered in an uneasy dream, dream barks came from him and the half-opened eyes showed white with sleep. Dodder moved through the fern to where the heavy gun lay among the crushed bracken fronds. A ladybird was crawling up the blued barrel. It reached the end and wavered uncertainly. Then a bumble bee came droning through the fern forest. It found the head of a purple knapweed and clambered on it, bending it right over until it touched the gun stock.
