When they thought she had gone far away, they flew to open the door, but found to their sorrow that it was locked, and she had taken the key.
They shook and shook the door, hoping that some part would give way. Then they turned to each other, exclaiming in great alarm: “We are prisoners!”

Spider Eyes heard the little one cry, and remembering that it was left in his care, ran to lift her up. But mousie was too heavy for him.
