summary:
  The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn't know that real rabbits existed; he thought they were all stuffed with sawdust like himself, and he understood that sawdust was quite out-of-date and should never be mentioned in modern circles.

Many little children were, no doubt, going to bed then in country cottages, tired out with their long rambles in country lanes--dirty with dust and forbidden mud-pies--and hungry for the crust of very dry bread--but healthy from their day's long breathing of pure air.

  To connect the points it is necessary to have a straight-edge--a steel framing-square (Fig. 42) for large boards and a small try-square (Fig. 38) for smaller pieces--and a pencil or knife. In the same way longer boards may be divided up by using two-and three-inch divisions on the rule instead of one-inch, and smaller pieces by using half-and quarter-inch divisions.
