Now begin at the lower part of the opening and sew up the cut, inserting a little filling—cut tow—from time to time in such places as may want it. You will very likely need some arouni! the base of the tail, and assuredly some around and above the knees, to imitate the thighs and join the legs smoothly to the body.
