Happy Jack in "What Farmer Brown's Boy Did With Shadow"

He had gone in the direction of the Old Pasture. He was gone a long time, and when he did return, the cage was empty.
Happy Jack blinked at the empty cage.
Then he began to ask in a scolding tone, "What did you do with him? What did you do with him?"
Farmer Brown's boy just smiled and tossed a nut to Happy Jack. And far up in the Old Pasture, Shadow the Weasel was once more free. It was well for Happy Jack's peace of mind that he didn't know that.
