Whenever Harriet was with them, the Creatures of the Forest had to stay quiet. They tried, several times, to interfere with Harriet 's mind. They could tell this outing wasn't good. It even caused some arguments among the Fearlings. Some said they should call for Despair to come. Others said Harriet belonged to them and they didn't want to share.
