By way of experiment I have caught him several times no easy task

By way of experiment I have caught him several times no easy task, I assure you and sent him, securely packed in a hamper, distances of three, four, and five miles to friends who have set him free. And he always came back. His last journey was at Christmas-time may Heaven forgive me this sin! to the house of a parson whom I did not know, and I stuck some pheasants’ feathers too just under the lid. I don’t know what the parson thought, but Tom came back next day, not looking a single bit put out, and I am willing to sell him to anyone who may have need of his services.
