Jimmy Skunk in "Jimmy Skunk Keeps His Word"

When Jimmy Skunk shouted down the hall of Johnny Chuck's old house to Ryder Rabbit that he would come back at dark, he was half joking. He did it to make Ryder uneasy and to worry him. The truth is, Jimmy was no longer angry at all. He had quite recovered his good nature and was very much inclined to laugh himself over Ryder's trick. But he felt that it wouldn't do to let Ryder off without some kind of punishment, and so he decided to frighten Ryder a little.
