Thoreau couldn't remember living anywhere but in the castle with the Macnairs and his sister and father. He knew, from Walden, that they had lived somewhere else before, with their mother, but only for a little while when he was very little. They'd been in the castle ever since then and Thoreau was fine with that because he got to watch his father cook and eat his cooking all the time and play with his best friend, Radley.
He toddled after Radley around the bog, as fast as his chubby five year old legs could take him, and squealed in joy when a frog leaped out of the marsh to try and get away from them, changing course and lunging to catch it instead. "Boo, look! A frog!" Thoreau cupped his hands together to keep the panicked frog in them and thrust them towards Radley. "I bet there are turtles too."
