“The hound will be the least of our problems if my Pa finds out we were here.”

It is not unknown for a young man and lady to come onto the moors to be alone.

Today there were two older men, unusual it is true, but their expressions when they met were the same as that of a young couple.

I like the observation, and am entertained at the thought of a solemn little Dartmoor weasel taking notes:-)

Perhaps a neat line in blackmail?

One imagines that weasel got an eyeful on more than one occasion over the course of his lifetime on the moor. ;-) Well done!

Oh yes, especially if the weasel saw the young man with another young lady on a different occasion.

Fortunately the weasel saw it as "doing what comes naturally".

A tidy sum of money to be made:-)

He'd be nuts not to.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Do you think he'd be good at ferreting out secrets?

[debriswoman]

I believe he would beaver away at it till he knew all there was to know.

Only the best are permitted to write for the Ocelot Tales.

Cats like mine which threw his mouse in the air and then lost it because it went backwards over his head need not apply.

And badger people for information...
