Across the Park moonlight danced and glinted on a golden statue above a silvery pond.
“That is the Fountain of Diana,” whispered Tom, “the Goddess and Protector of the Moon and the Creatures of the Wild.  All the statues in Hampton Court are magical.   And they do say that when an animal is in danger Diana’s statue comes to life, and darts like a streak of lightning through the trees, to raise the alarm.”

“What is Pine Cone Club?” asked Hector.
“It’s a school, where young rabbits learn all about the wild," explained Nannie.  "About the animals in the Park, and what is safe to eat, and how to build a tunnel, and everything. You’ll see.”
