Brownie Beaver in "Jasper Jay's Story"
And when young Brownie told Grandaddy what had happened, the old gentleman didn't know just what to think.
"It couldn't have been a moonbeam," he said, "because there's no moon to-night. And I don't see how it could have been a gun, because there was no roar.... Did you hear a sort of whistle?" he asked. "Anything that sounded like a bullet passing over your head?"
Brownie Beaver shuddered at the mere mention of a bullet.
