Poor Mousey, when she saw the knife, At once expressed her fear, By squeaking out with all her might, Which every one could hear. Then John, as he the turret viewed, With consternation cried, “There’s something, I am sure, alive, And moving, too, inside.” All now were hushed, and knew not what All this could be about; While Mouse, in fright, forgot her tail, Which at the top popped out. “Why, here’s some trick,” the lady cried, “I’ll knock the turret down.” Mousey, in terror, gave a leap, And ran along her gown.
“Oh!” screamed the lady, “what is this?” On each side was dismay, Which Mousey took advantage of, By scampering away. Their fright all o’er, loud laughs ensued, From all within the house, To think that so much fear should be Caused by a little Mouse. The children hunted for this Mouse, But she was not a dolt To wait ’till she was caught, but made Right through a hole—a bolt. The party then began their dance, And singing next ensued; And then came supper, with its cakes, And very best home-brewed.
