 stayed with Fessor. I felt safer in his 

 hand than anywhere else. 



One day when Fessor and Edith and

 Fessor replied, but that afternoon Edith 

 brought a bough with quite a number 

 of branches on it, and put it down in 

 the den for me. I used to roost on it a 

 great deal after that, though there were 

 times when I did n't feel very well that 

 I got more comfort out of a pair of 

 Fessor's shoes. But that is another 

 story.
