"O Frith" thought Hazel, turning his head for a moment to the bright glow in the west, "are you sending us to live among the clouds? If you spoke truly to Fiver, help me to trust him". At this moment he saw Dandelion, who had run well ahead, squatting on an ant-hill clear against the sky. Alarmed he dashed forward.

"Dandelion, get down!" he said "Why are you sitting up there?"
"Because I can see," replied Dandelion, with a kind of exited joy. "Come and look! You can see the whole world." [...] They were on the top of the down. Perched above the grass, they could see far in every direction. Their surroundings were empty. If anything has been moving they would have seen it immediately: and there the turf ended, the sky began. A man, a fox - even a rabbit - coming over the down would be conspicuous.[...]

The wind ruffled their fur and tugged at the grass, which smelt of thyme and self-heal. The solitude seemed like a release and a blessing. The height, the sky and the distance went to their heads as they skipped in the sunset.
"O Frith on the hills!" cried Dandelion "He must made it for us!"
"He may have made it, but Fiver thought of it for us" answered Hazel. "Wait till we get him up here! Fiver-rah!".
