They dared not raise their heads ever so little out of the dewy heather, which they shaved so closely that there was scarcely a waistcoat button left in the party. They strove with their feet, and clawed with their hands, still making but slow progress. At length their hearts throbbed with nervous excitement, for they were fairly within a hundred yards of a long shot. For a space they rested to ease their limbs, and gain steadiness, still lying ex- tended like corpses. Tortoise whispered, "Now ...then be calm, and when we come within distance, take the hart to the right, he is the best; a little further and our task is done. " Twenty yards forwarder they gained in security; another ten with the same success; they were getting nearer and nearer every moment, and their hearts trembled. There was a little knoll, or small rise of ground, before them, where the heather grew in larger tufts, and this point once gained (of which there was every probability), they would be within reasonable distance of as fine harts, they roundly asserted, as any in the forest; so onward they still crawled, with pain and fatigue.
