In fact , he did n't know that Miss Daintyfoot was there . His one thought had been to drive out of the Green Forest the big stranger who had come down from the Great Mountain . He had been jealous of that big stranger , though he had n't known that he was jealous . The real cause of his anger and desire to fight had been the fear that the big stranger would find Miss Daintyfoot and take her away . Of course this was nothing but jealousy . Now that the great fight was over , and he knew that the big stranger was hurrying back to the Great Mountain , all Lightfoot 's anger melted away . In its place was a great longing to find Miss Daintyfoot . His great eyes became once more soft and beautiful . In them was a look of wistfulness . Lightfoot walked down to the edge of the water and drank , for he was very , very thirsty . Then he turned , intending to take up once more his search for beautiful Miss Daintyfoot . When he turned he faced the thicket in which Miss Daintyfoot was hiding . His keen eyes caught a little movement of the branches . A beautiful head was slowly thrust out , and Lightfoot gazed again into a pair of soft eyes which he was sure were the most beautiful eyes in all the Great World . He wondered if she would disappear and run away as she had the last time he saw her . He took a step or two forward . The beautiful head was withdrawn . Lightfoot 's heart sank . Then he bounded forward into that thicket . He more than half expected to find no one there , but when he entered that thicket he received the most wonderful surprise in all his life .
There stood Miss XXXXX , timid , bashful , but with a look in her eyes which Lightfoot could not mistake .
