Jewel:

I'm so sorry to hear about Peter.  I love rabbits and they make such good pets. 
They do seem to be a bit fragile.

> There wasn't a mark on peter and I am sure that Guideon hadn't been able to

> Later in the day, I was talking to someone and told her my idea of what had
> happened.  Tracy  said
