Passage Illustrated
The Lion came bang through the door, and the next moment it had bitten off the old Fox's head! And Bruno jumped in at the window, and went leaping round the room, and crying out “Hooray! Hooray! The old Fox is dead! The old Fox is dead!”
The Lion's speech. “Now, you silly little Lamb, go home to your mother, and never listen to old Foxes again. And be very good and obedient.”
Commentary
In Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), the title of the illustration appears as Enter The Lion in Cha XV, “The Little Foxes,” a story told by Bruno.
