http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 365.36 | 380.58 | soon something soft and white came fluttering down from the sky and little flakes of cold snow began to settle upon timothy's gray coat while the wind began to howl and the storm to break where could he go | 15.22 | 10226 | 10111 | |

http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 465.78 | 478.71 | then lonely timothy pining for sympathy ventured a trifle closer to the hearth and the little dog sidled over to meet him and actually began to lap timothy's rough fur tenderly | 12.93 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 441.38 | 454.44 | but timothy's proud jealous spirit was nearly broken and one night he decided to go back to the hearth so he stole into the kitchen after everybody was asleep and then a wonderful thing happened | 13.06 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 426.15 | 441.38 | for days timothy stayed there he managed to catch a few stray mice after a long chase but soon his sides grew thin his soft gray fur shabby and coarse and dark while his eyes were furtive and sullen | 15.23 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 478.71 | 489.76 | whereupon timothy to show that he bore no further ill will sidled and rubbed himself gently against the tan and white spotted coat of the gentle little dog | 11.05 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 503.91 | 518.41 | as he washed and scrubbed his neglected fur coat making a complete and fresh toilet suitable for the kitchen the next morning when the farmer's wife came into the kitchen such a sight met her eyes | 14.5 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 489.76 | 503.91 | then timothy and his friend ate together from the tin plate sat down upon the hearth and timothy began a whirring buzzing song of contentment which might even be heard above the singing of the copper kettle | 14.15 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 142.58 | 152.6 | for even now the dearest little stray dog with soft coat of white and tan spots had been received into the family while timothy was out | 10.02 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 57.39 | 74.59 | such a majestic air had timothy as he sat there in his own place which none presumed to usurp his silvery gray paws tucked neatly beneath his warm furry breast his big yellow eyes just mere slits of sleepiness | 17.2 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 30.05 | 47.02 | intending to snatch a morsel of food from timothy's plate which always stood there heaped with dainties but the next instant the little mouse had changed its mind for there sat timothy himself right upon the hearth in front of the fire guarding his plate | 16.97 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 74.59 | 89.28 | timothy saw the gray mouse quite plainly but he never felt hungry enough to bother much about chasing mice and just to show his supremacy timothy merely opened one eye and stared insolently at the mouse | 14.69 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 47.02 | 57.39 | so with bright bead-like eyes trembling nose and whiskers the mouse taking courage just stared at timothy monarch of the kitchen | 10.37 | 10226 | 10111 | |

http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 164.54 | 178.63 | timothy arched his gray back until the fur stood up in ridges as he spat vindictively at the stranger while his big yellow eyes glared with such sullen hate that the little spotted dog shook with fear | 14.09 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 178.63 | 194.36 | still he did not offer to fight or give back to timothy his place on the hearth and actually ate up everything on the tin plate while timothy had to stand and look on with deep angry growls of jealous rage | 15.73 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 89.28 | 102.02 | uttering little muffled rumbling growls deep down inside which so terrified the foolish little mouse that he immediately scuttled off behind the wainscoting squeaking as he ran | 12.74 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 207.62 | 218.91 | but the little dog was brave and did not go away and soon timothy decided to vent his displeasure upon the whole family by leaving the house altogether | 11.29 | 10226 | 10111 | |
http://www.archive.org/download/threebears_porcupineridge_1511_librivox/threebearsofporcupineridge_03_thompson_64kb.mp3 | 218.91 | 229.06 | of course they would be so anxious to get him back that they would surely send the spotted dog away and then he timothy would return to the hearth | 10.15 | 10226 | 10111 | |
