| And so you come down to our farm when you think you can steal something Thus if I did not hide my eggs and my young ones in a hole too small for you to enter I can see pretty plainly how I should come off with your thieving and your advice | C |

| Be advised in your turn keep away from our yard for my master has a gun too and your chattering which I suppose you call singing he abominably hates You will be in danger of catching what the gamekeeper threatens and then where is the great difference between your station and mine | D |

| From my lodging under the thatch of the stable I am as you may happen to behave yourself | E |

| Yours at a convenient distance | F |
