sliding down the curtain.
Miss Moppet looks worse and worse.
The Mouse comes a little nearer.
Miss Moppet holds her poor head in her
paws, and looks at him through a hole in
the duster. The Mouse comes very close.
And then all of a sudden, Miss Moppet jumps
upon the Mouse!
And because the Mouse has teased Miss
Moppet; Miss Moppet thinks she will tease
the Mouse which is not at all nice of her.

She ties him up in the duster, and tosses it about like a ball. What does Miss
Moppet tie the
Mouse in?

But she forgot about that hole in the duster; and when she untied it, there was
no Mouse!
He has wriggled out and run away and he is dancing a jig on the top of the cupboard!
