He had always a spite against my beautiful river, I suppose because he had failed in emptying it ; but, whatever the reason may have been, he liked it not, and used to vary his occupations some- times by pitching pieces of mountain into it, and close by its side, so as to make its shores if possible unapproach- able by mortal foot, in doing which he added greatly to the wild beauty of the scenery, without in reality doing the smallest harm either to the river or to mankind. " After a while, old... Bramble-bufiFer began to find that the effects of his bad and cruel conduct towards man- kind had so diminished the number of those who used to dwell in houses, that he had some difficulty in obtain- ing supplies from farms and homesteads as before. He therefore, much against his will, was obliged to take to hunting and trapping wild animals, in which he was not very skilful, but for this he was in some measure com- pensated by the advantages of size and strength, which enabled him to catch creatures which his skill alone would never have brought within reach of his devouring jaws.
