Kali and Edmund:

As the clouds of smoke thickened, Kali and Edmund each grabbed one of the conies and lay sprawled out on the ground next to each other, with the rabbits tucked close to their shaking bodies.

"I'm scared," Edmund blurted out in between fits of coughing.

"Me, too!" moaned Kali, as he rubbed his watery, stinging eyes.

"Maybe we shouldn't have come? All we wanted to do was help, but now we're in a real mess," Edmund countered to his friend.

"I dunno' but I wish I was home in bed." He looked down at the soft fur bundle now cradled in his arms, and delicately fingered the long ears. "I'm really sorry, Mister Rabbit. We'll try to get you out of here as best we can."

Kali did not say out loud the fear that was uppermost in both their minds: what if no one came to help, and the fire raged on uncontrolled?
