\u201cSo,\u201d the beaver said lightly. \u201cYou handled that in an interesting way. Is that a standard tool-kit item for you, or did you come up with that on the fly?\u201d<\/p>\n
Edward, in a slightly smug tone, simply said, \u201cOh, I have my ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, yes, I realize that, of course. After all, I have known you, or at least known of you, for a long long time now. You and your \u2019ways\u2019 are rather famous, aren\u2019t they? Still, I thought I detected something \u2019personal\u2019, shall we say, in the way you dealt with the driver. Rather ingenious is the way it struck me, actually.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that final bit. By the side of the road. A wee bit o’ genius. Almost worthy of me…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmost worthy of you?\u201d Edward sputtered. \u201cThat was a result of a finely honed intellect, pure and simple. That kind of enlightenment doesn’t come to every creature. It takes a special mind and dedication to the way, let me tell you. Oh, I’ll admit you are devious in your own \u2019way\u2019, but with the flipping and flopping of your mental processes, it simply astounds me you haven’t been made into a hat eons ago. Why, I recall one young fox kit that frankly reminds me a lot of you. The trouble with him was he found more pleasure in flouncing and flitting around than in the serious matter of setting and attaining goals. After all, it’s about the goals, the goals and the accomplishment thereof …<\/p>\n
\u201cMark my words, young beaver,\u201d Edward pronounced as he turned his head to ensure the beaver would catch the significance of what he was about to say. \u201dMark my …<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, crap …\u201d<\/p>\n
