Synopsis
Excerpt from Thompson's Progress
Squire Tordofi quite expected a refusal of this request, but made it on the principle that little is lost by asking. Somewhat to his surprise, he was promptly told of a burrow where the rab bits had achieved a portliness past belief, but was bidden to raid them the following after noon, or they would be collected by another hand. After which Tom's Son departed from the house feeling very pleased with himself.
Squire dipped into the sevenpenny newspaper, which he and others subscribed for amongst them, with a feeling of conquest and compla cency, though if he could have known the thoughts which had been passing in the brain of the nimble-minded diplomatist who had just left him, he might not have felt so secure of his future happiness and ease. But then, of course, it was too early in life for Tom's Son to have earned the reputation of being a queer fellow to cross, which was sometimes so humorously applied to him in later years.
