Tales from the Amy's garden.

Fiver: There's something very queer about the warren this evening...
Hazel: Is it dangerous?
Fiver: It's not exactly danger, it's... oh, I don't know. Something oppressive... like thunder.
Fiver: I feel it too. It seems to be coming from the lady in the house. It’s like the woman in the cottage has changed.
Hazel: Well she is very listless. She hasn’t been productive at all. And isn’t she in some kind of trouble. I saw the police bring her home last night.
Fiver: Yes she was drunk again. She said she had a pain in her ass. Or that they were a pain in the ass. And her wig fell off.
Hazel: The policeman wanted to take her somewhere.
Fiver: Bigwig heard her talking. She kept saying: “No, no, no.” I wonder why?
(Watership Down, 1972)
