His curiosity was satisfied: he had seen in the moonlight Mrs. Hooty light beside the big nest. then settle herself on it in a man- ner that he knew meant she was sitting on eggs.

Then something happened to Peter that happens to a lot of people at lust the wrong time: he became absent-minded. That is, he was thinking so much of what he had found out that he forgot where he was. Without really know- in: that he was doing it he hop- ped out from where a. Black Sha- dow had covered him.
