M.—And we are so dreadfully afraid he will kill Tiny.
A. M.—Oh no! He won't find Tiny—Tiny is hidden behind the laurels near the conservatory, eating a mouse which he has just caught.
Jack.—Behind the laurels near the conservatory! Then he will certainly be killed! The monster is there too! That is where the growls came from!
A. M.—Ha! ha! Now I see it all! Why, the monster that Jack saw and heard, is simply Tiny, who was growling because he feared his mouse would be taken away from him.
Jack.—Are you sure?
Jan.—Was the monster Tiny?
A. M.—Evidently. I've just seen him there myself.
M.—Oh, how delightful! let us go and tell Tiny there is no monster in the garden!
(Exeunt running, followed by Aunt Mary.)
