I shall go home by the treeway, and you can walk underneath me. Now then!” And as the squirrel said this, he gave his tail _such_ a whisking, and away he ran along the branch he had been sitting on, right to the end of it, and then gave _such_ a jump on to the branch of another tree, and then out of that tree into another one, and so from tree to tree, so fast that Tommy Smith could hardly keep up with him as he ran along the ground underneath.
