, the northern bullfinch, is a North European form that visits us sometimes when on migration, and which may be known by its decidedly larger size. ) CHAPTER V THE FOX A MOST beautiful animal is the British fox, being perhaps as lovely as any creature we have. I shall never forget the first fox I ever saw, though but a small child at the time. My father had taken me for a Sunday morning walk through the woods, following a path that led by a swift and noisy brook that tumbled over a rocky bed. W...e were standing at the stream side, watching a dipper hopping from stone to stone, when something stirred in the bracken on the farther side of the water. The autumn frosts had turned the fern yellow and brown, but the golden gleam that caught the eye was redder than even the sunlit bracken. There, not twenty yards away, stood a fox gazing at us. His coat shone golden-red in the sunlight, his black-tipped ears were pricked, his delicately pointed muzzle was turned in our direction, and so he stood, with one dainty black paw held up, looking at us; next moment he was gone, disappearing noiselessly into the fern ; but the memory remained, a memory of a vision of wild beauty.
