Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brown as a Berry, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel Without thinking what he is doing, and as much out of idleness as mischief, Mark picks up a stone, fixes it in his catapult, and taking aim, hits one of the five hens on the head, which drops down dead. Pleased with his success, and unaware or forgetful that these are the prize poultry, he takes another stone and fires it, and after that another, until the cock and the five hens are all killed. It is not until he sees the unfortunate poultry lying prostrate on the ground that the thoughtless and mischievous boy awakens to the full perception of the consequences of his action. If the birds had been of a common breed he could easily have repaired the damage by purchasing some new fowls with his pocket money, but these particular ones had been sent to Mr. Terrier from abroad, and were, he firmly believed, the only specimens of the sort in England.
