[sammy] [jay] [does] [some] [guessing] 

sammy [jay] is [a] [queer] [fellow] [.] 
1 sammy 3 is

many [are] [the] times [he] [has] [given] [them] [warning] [of] [danger] . 
1 many 4 times
4 times 12 .

this is [one] [reason] they are [quite] [willing] to [overlook] [his] [own] [shortcomings] . 
1 this 2 is
2 is 5 they
5 they 6 are
6 are 9 to
9 to 14 .

so , of course , he had seen [what] [happened] to [reddy] . 
1 so 2 ,
2 , 4 course
3 of 4 course
4 course 5 ,
5 , 6 he
6 he 7 had

11 to 13 .

now , instead of [being] [sorry] [for] [reddy] , he had openly rejoiced . 
1 now 2 ,
2 , 3 instead
3 instead 4 of
4 of 9 ,
9 , 10 he
9 , 11 had
11 had 12 openly
12 openly 13 rejoiced

so [sammy] had [laughed] and made [fun] [of] [poor] [reddy] . 
1 so 3 had
3 had 11 .
5 and 6 made
6 made 11 .

in the first place it was very [exciting] , and [sammy] [dearly] loves [excitement] [.]

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