Fluffy (starting).
Oh, dear, what was that noise? I wish we’d stayed—
Tommy (trembling).
Be brave, dear Sister,—see, I’m n’-n’-not a’-afraid.
Whatever happens, do not make a row!
(Enter Sir Rat.)
Sir Rat. Aha! what’s this?
Tommy. Help! Murder! Mi-ow-ow!
Fluffy. Tommy, be calm! Dear Mr. Rat, good day.
Sir Rat (jumping up and down).
Enough! enough! I did not come to play!
Fluffy. Dear Mr. Rat, how beautifully you dance.
