You'll find her at the linen counter.'

I told a tale, to Jim's delight,

Of where the tom-cats go by night,

And how when moonlight come they went

Among the chimneys black and bent,

From roof to roof, from house to house,

With little baskets full of mouse

All red and white, both joint and chop

Like meat out of a butcher's shop;

Then all along the wall they creep
