To complete the idyllic pastoral scene, a rabbit lolloped out of a nearby hedge, as lazy and aimless as the humans walking past. Camilla caught the movement at once and stopped to watch.
"Oh, look!" she directed Henry, in hushed tones. "There's a bunny. The nice kind."
Wholly uninterested in them, the rabbit proceeded to nose about for a choice blade of grass.
"I don't know what kind of rabbit it is. Wild rabbits in America are a whole different species from the European domestic rabbit, but now we're in Europe, so maybe it's the same? I've been reading all about them. Bunny's nickname is not very apt for him. They don't behave at all like him. They like to reciprocate in grooming." Camilla still carried an ember of resentment after all these years for the time she'd had to iron Bunny's shirt.
