From Watership Down, which I'm currently reading and have next to me on my desk at work:
"They had splashed through two brooks and wandered fearfully in the deep woodlands west of Ecchinswell. They had rested in the straw of a starveall, or lonely barn, and woken to find themselves attacked by rats. Silver and Buckthorn, with Bigwig helping them, had covered the retreat until, once all were together outside, they had taken flight. Buckthorn had been bitten in the foreleg, and the wound, in the manner of the rat bite, was irritant and painful."
