Excerpt: ...she said finally, "is how you ever got in there without swimming. You can't fly." Bumper smiled, and shook his head. "No, but I wish I could. I wouldn't stay here arguing with you about this leaf but fly away and get a good breakfast of a lot of them." "Are you really so hungry, Mr. White Rabbit?" "Indeed, I am nearly famished." And then he told Mrs. Sparrow of his adventures in the drain-pipe of the garden and the Pg 69 big abandoned sewer.

So after feeding Bumper a few more green leaves, she flew away to find the garden. She was gone so long that Bumper got very restless and discouraged.
