"She is not in these parts. I will give you one more chance. Who is it?"
"I think it must be little Miss Muffit,—the one who was frightened by a spider."
"Nonsense! One would think you had read nothing but 'Mother Goose's Melodies.'"
"Can it be Tom, Tom, the piper's son?"
"No, I never stole a pig in my life. Now give the right name this time, or prepare to have your ears pulled."
"Oh, that would never do! I think it must be my cousin, Jenny Mason, who is hiding the daylight from me."
"Right! Right at last! One kiss, and you may go."
