Mr. Bobtail Fitz-Herbert Bunnikins-Bunny was a very great dandy, for not only had he his own beautiful white fur coat, but he wore the finest of other clothes besides. His feathered hats, his fine coats, his lovely neckties, and his gay silk socks were admired and copied by all the young members of the Cotton-Tail Club, in Rabbitsville, where Mr. Bunnikins-Bunny lived.

[Bunnies]

He fell in love with a charming little rabbit, Miss Primrose Featherball, and after a short courtship, and a very fine wedding, they settled down in a beautiful cosy nest in a hollow tree.

When Mr. and Mrs. Bunnikins-Bunny had been married about twoyears, they decided, for the sake of Mr. Bunnikins’ health, to spend the summer camping out in the mountains.

[Bunny]

They had two nice little bunny children. The elder was named Bobtail, like his father, and the younger, a dear soft mite of a thing, was called Rosamund.

She was a good little bunny, and behaved likea small lady, while Bobtail was a bunch of mischief.

[Bunny]

From morning till night, he was always getting into trouble of some kind, until his mother thought she should be obliged either to send him to boarding-school, or else to keep him chained to a tree.

However, he had promised to be very, very good if his father would take him camping, and for a week he had been on his best behavior.
