Quote #10
The Boy went out to play in the wood behind the house. And while he was playing, two rabbits crept out from the bracken and peeped at him. One of them was brown all over, but the other had strange markings under his fur, as though long ago he had been spotted, and the spots still showed through. And about his little soft nose and his round black eyes there was something familiar, so that the Boy thought to himself: "Why, he looks just like my old Bunny that was lost when I had scarlet fever!"(79-80)
All right, so the Boy redeems himself here. He sees the wild rabbits playing outside and notices the spots on the Rabbit's fur. Then he remembers his old bunny that he loved so much but that got "lost." (Oh, the lies adults tell.) So at least the Boy never forgot his little Rabbit friend.
