'Oh! Did I scare her?'' asked Mrs Possum, who had appeared quite suddenly on a rock beside Geeri and Evie. 'I'm terribly sorry . . . '
'She thought you were a dog,' replied Geeri in her reedy voice, curtly but not unkindly, 'She's had bad experiences with dogs. But it's alright.'
'Oh . . . I'm sorry, little fawn . . . What's your name?' Mrs Possum asked Geeri's scarred young friend gently.
'Evie,' came the reply, and Evie smiled.
