No, sir, they are not enough. In time r.C danger it is useless to think quick ly and then hesitate and be slow to put into action the result of your quick thinking. Quick thinking and quick action must go together. Either Is useless without the other. Of course, you know' the old saving: “He who hesitates is lost.’’ It is a. true saying. If Peter Rabbit had hesitated an instant when he was surprised by Reddy Fox up there by .lohnny chuck’s house he would have been lost. Rut Peter didn't hesitate. His wits worked fast.They told him (hat there wits just one way and only one way of escape open to him and that was Johnny Chuck's house. Never had he been in there.

They might he very angry, and Peter knew that ing so fast that he almost ran past the entrance to that back hall- Just In the nick of time he saw it and turned into it. He knew it was the bark hall because it slanted up, which meant that it lead to the sur face of the ground. Polly Chuck, stlil saying spiteful things about a person who would enter the house of other people without being Invited, turned Into the back hall, and Peter knew that he must kepp on. His heart began to beat a little fosiei- as he saw just a wee lilt of light up ahend and knew that i! come through the doorway. Where would he find himself when he came out? Was Itcddy Fox waiting there for him? Why couldn't Polly Chuck he satisfied now and go back to her bedroom? Then he could sit just In side the doorway and make sure (hat I he way was clear. But it was clear that Polly Chuck would not he satisfied until he was out of her house. There was nothing for It but to go out of that back door as fast as his legs could take him and I rust to fortune that he could reach some other place of safety be fore Reddy could catch him. Peter drew a long breath and shot out Of the back door of Johnny Chuck's house Upperty-lipperty-lip, as fast as those long legs of his could take him, and his eyes rolled this way and that way to see where he was and where Reddy Fox was.
