After that they went on till they came among tall beech trees and Trufflehunter called out, “Pattertwig！ Pattertwig！ Pattertwig！” and almost at once, bounding down from branch to branch till he was just above their heads, came the most magnifit red squirrel that Caspian had ever en. He was far bigger than the ordinary dumb squirrels which he had sometimes en in the castle gardens； indeed he was nearly the size of a terrier and the moment you looked in his face you saw that he could talk. Ihe difficulty was to get him to stop talking, for, like all squirrels, he was a chatterer. He weled Caspian at ond asked if he would like a nut and Caspian said thanks, he would. But as Pattertwig went bounding away to fetch it, Trufflehunter whispered in Caspian’s ear, “Don’t look. Look the other way. It’s very bad manners among squirrels to watyone going to his store or to look as if you wao know where it was.” Then Pattertwig came back with the nut and Caspia and after that Pattertwig asked if he could take any messages to other friends. “For I go nearly everywhere without tting foot to ground,” he said. Trufflehunter and the Dwarfs thought this a very good idea and gave Pattertwig messages to all sorts of people with queer elling them all to e to a feast and cil on Dang Lawn at midnight three nights ahead. “And you’d better tell the three Bulgies too,” added Trumpkin. “We fot to mention it to them.”
