Br’er waved towards his companions and when he saw that they were making their way towards the shack he followed Julius in. As he reached the doorway he saw Julius taking the turkey out of a black oven.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMjMilaDqo
“The trick is to smoke them for a day or two,” the cat said to Br’er. “You gotta let them sit and smoke for a few days. Throw in some danderbrush every now and then to make sure that flavor really sinks in.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAye7yNXDb
“You sound like you been doing this a spell,” Br’er said as he walked over to the makeshift counter that Julius had built.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorA0Lalcz7
Julius sat the turkey on the counter and took the ancient looking carving knife that sat upon it and started piecing apart the golden turkey. “I don't really know how long I been doing it,” the cat said as he plopped wonderful smelling pieces of meat onto a wooden plate. “Time moves funny out here.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxFPaIPZ1q
Br’er nodded his head in agreement. “Time moves funny on the trail, too,” he replied to his host.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD7V7mvOhD
Julius nodded and handed a small sliver of turkey to his guest. Be ’er popped it into his mouth and chewed. It was the best piece of meat he had ever tasted. The flavors that enthralled him made him go silent for a moment and involuntarily close his eyes in appreciation. “My word,” he whispered after he swallowed the bite. “My word.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfgMcTS6zK
Julius smiled and continued on with his work. “If you would like to finish carving this bird up I will go fetch some carrots and taters from the hill over yonder,” he said as he nodded towards a green hill that looked to be a half mile or so away. 838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalm6hJ74TE
“That I can do,” Br’er answered. 838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriBhtMqRgt
“Alrighty then,” Julius said as he walked to the door and grabbed the shotgun he had sat in the corner and a burlap sack that didn't lay far from it. “When your friends get here ask them to fill that kettle up with water from the pump on the side of the hut if you would and throw it on the fire.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LymGAwLVF
“Will do,” Br’er said. “They should be here soon.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueaOvIncN4
And he was right. They weren't far behind at all. They saw Julius, in the distance, walking off towards the hill. “Where do you spose he’s going?” she asked Oswald. Oswald shrugged his shoulders.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cijP4a5Kc
“Not sure,” he replied, “but what I want to know if he is a gabber like us? Looks to be a cat.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvtNlzyOS
This time Allie shrugged her shoulders. When they reached the dilapidated shack Allie poked her head in. “He safe?” she asked Br’er.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAiLElhsEA
“He’s safe,” Br’er replied as he continued chunking up the turkey. “And he’s invited us to supper.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7gGCiX9QX
“Hot dog,” Allie exclaimed as she entered. She walked over to the plate where the turkey was and tried to take a nibble, but her greedy hand was slapped by Br’er. She snapped her hand back and nursed the sting on it. 838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3mNksGRye
“Manners, girl,” he said. “The host ain't invited us to eat nothing yet.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYLI6qt9eH
Allie glared at Br’er. “I just wanted a little taste!”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6qQCayv1N
“And ye’ll get one when the host tells you to get one,” the rabbit replied. 838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BnMxmm2SU
“I bet you had one,” she snarled.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Z2SsNgv0
“As a matter of fact I did. Right after he handed it to me,” Br’er said through a smile. “Now make yourself useful and go fill that kettle with water from the pump on the side of the hut.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd9s31xikz
Allie took the kettle out to fill it, muttering about rude rabbits all the way. When she had left the shack Oswald sat down his pack and looked at Br’er. “Can we trust him?” he asked.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8s038RKQ
Br’er nodded. “I reckon so.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2LUV5LFFF
Oswald breathed a sigh of relief as he sat on the ground. It wasn't long before Allie came back in with the kettle full of water. “No, no don't mind me carrying this heavy kettle,” she said to the rabbits. “You just continue your lazy asses doing all of nothing.” She sat it on the rack over the fire so that it would start boiling. 838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCNQuQ7a7
She made her way over to her pack and started rifling through it when the owner of the shack returned. Julius’ shadow fell over her as she was bent over. She straightened up to introduce herself to their host when she and Julius locked eyes. Her breath stopped as she gasped.838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms74l3htlt
Julius did the same. A tear trickled down his cheek and he said, “I… I… I know you, girl.”838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3g3kEi1vW
“Julius,” she exclaimed as she ran into his arms and embraced him in a fierce hug.
