Turkey Proudfoot in "Red Lightning"

"Well, you heard me, didn't you?"
"I heard a whirring sound," said Turkey Proudfoot, "but I didn't know what it was."
"Great snakes!" cried Mr. Grouse. "Farmer Green ought not to let you come into the woods—not if he expects you to spend Thanksgiving Day with him!" Tommy Fox chuckled at that remark. But Turkey Proudfoot never let on that he heard it. He crouched lower upon the limb of the oak tree and pretended to fall asleep. Daylight was fast fading.
