"Yes, it's best that you avoid dogs," says Henry as he continues to escort the creature, following the footprints to the north. "Animals can sense that there's something different about you. They may be more afraid of you than you are of them."

His interest piqued Lepus elects to scramble up the wall to see who is grubbing about the other side. If he cannot manage this feat on his own, he will summon his unseen servant to give him a leg-up.

If his precarious position makes it possible, Lepus will make ready with another explosive globe.
"Hoho!" He yells, wishing to surprise the creature. "What be thee digging for, eh?"

"That's Lepus on top of the wall," says Henry. "He's a friend. He may look strange, but don't we all? Ah, but there's someone on the other side of the wall. It must be the other one like you. I must go help my friend, but you may remain here for now if you wish." He quietly approaches the wall, looking for any gate or opening in it.

"We need to get over this wall," says Henry to the female creature. "I can give you a boost up so you can get on top of it, then you can lift me up so I can join you. I'm not strong enough to lift you, but you're strong enough to lift me. Then we can drop down on the other side."

The hole proves to have been an attempt to dig under the wall, given the angle at which it descends into the Earth. The task was not yet complete when it was interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected guest.jp1885 wrote:

Lepus scrambled out of the hole, grinning at Henry but keeping a wary eye on his female companion.

"Is that you, Lepus?" calls WIlliam in response to the Gypsy's distinctive voice. "It is I and Miss Ravenscroft."
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eighth: A Brace of Conundr
"That was the male creature, no doubt," says Henry. "He must have followed you to try to get the urn back. I have a safer place to put it, if we can get it back to my castle. There is a secret chamber with a tireless guardian where it can remain undisturbed until the end of time." He calls out to William. "Yes, Lepus is here with me!"

"I have brought Miss Ravenscroft with me," says William. "As the originator of the method by which the man-creature was given life, she will help find a way to reverse it."
