"Miss Snooper—" Moses Mouse explained—"Miss Snooper is our name for Miss Kitty Cat. She lives in the farmhouse. And when she isn't indoors she's usually prowling about the yard."
To the great astonishment of Moses Mouse, the short-tailed stranger seemed in no wise startled by his news.
"Huh!" Master Meadow Mouse exclaimed. "If this Miss Snooper—as you call her—bothers me, I'll serve her as I did one of her kittens."
"What did you do to the kitten?" Moses Mouse inquired with great interest.
"I bit her nose," said Master Meadow Mouse.
Moses Mouse gazed at him with horror.
"Don't try that on the old lady!" he cried. "If you do, you'll be sorry."
