he watched [reddy] [sneak] [away] [to] the [green] [forest] [,] [and] [jimmy] [skunk] [slowly] [walk] [away] [in] [a] [very] [dignified] [manner] [.] 
1 he 2 watched
2 watched 7 the

then [sammy] [flew] [back] [to] the [old] [orchard] [to] [spread] the [news] [among] [the] [little] [people] [there] [.] 
1 then 6 the
1 then 11 the

it wasn't until he reached the [old] [orchard] [that] [he] [remembered] [peter] [rabbit] . 
1 it 2 wasn't

the fact is , [sammy] [jay] was [doing] [some] hard thinking . 
1 the 2 fact
2 fact 3 is
2 fact 4 ,
2 fact 11 thinking
2 fact 12 .
7 was 11 thinking
10 hard 11 thinking

he had suddenly begun to wonder . 
1 he 2 had
2 had 4 begun
3 suddenly 4 begun
4 begun 5 to
4 begun 6 wonder
4 begun 7 .

it had popped into that shrewd little head of his that it was very strange [how] [suddenly] [peter] [rabbit] [had] [disappeared] [.] 
1 it 4 into

9 of 10 his
11 that 13 was
12 it 13 was
13 was 14 very
14 very 15 strange

but [i] [saw] it all , and [i] [know] that it was all [an] [accident] so far as [reddy] was concerned . 
1 but 4 it
1 but 11 it
5 all 6 ,
5 all 10 that
6 , 7 and
10 that 11 it
11 it 12 was
12 was 13 all
12 was 16 so
16 so 17 far
17 far 18 as
17 far 21 concerned
20 was 21 concerned
21 concerned 22 .

[but] [peter] [rabbit] [may] [have] [known] [.] 

why did [peter] [run] [so] [that] [he] [would] [have] to [jump] [over] [that] [barrel] [when] [he] [could] have [run] [right] [past] it ? 
1 why 2 did
1 why 23 ?
10 to 18 have
18 have 22 it
22 it 23 ?

that would have been pretty [smart] [of] [peter] [and] [quite] like him . 
1 that 2 would
2 would 3 have
2 would 11 like
3 have 4 been
4 been 5 pretty
11 like 12 him
12 him 13 .

the [more] [i] [think] of [it] [,] the more [i] believe [that] [peter] did know and that he planned the whole thing . 
1 the 5 of
5 of 8 the
8 the 21 whole
9 more 18 he
11 believe 17 that
14 did 15 know

17 that 18 he
18 he 19 planned
19 planned 21 whole
20 the 21 whole
21 whole 22 thing
22 thing 23 .

if he did , it was one of the [smartest] [tricks] [i] ever heard [of] [.] 
1 if 2 he
2 he 3 did
3 did 5 it
4 , 5 it
5 it 6 was

i didn't think [peter] had it [in] [him] . 
1 i 3 think
2 didn't 3 think
3 think 6 it
5 had 6 it
6 it 9 .

it was rather [hard] [on] [jimmy] [skunk] , but it [got] [rid] [of] [reddy] [fox] for a while .
