This is the Mouse peeping out behind the cupboard, and making fun of Miss Moppet. He is not afraid of a kitten. This is Miss Moppet jumping just too late; she misses the Mouse and hits her own head. She thinks it is a very hard cupboard! The Mouse watches Miss Moppet from the top of the cupboard. Miss Moppet ties up her head in a duster, and sits before the fire. The Mouse thinks she is looking very ill. He comes sliding down the bell-pull. Miss Moppet looks worse and worse. The Mouse comes a little nearer. Miss Moppet holds her poor head in her paws, and looks at him through a hole in the duster. The Mouse comes very close. And then all of a sudden—Miss Moppet jumps upon the Mouse! And because the Mouse has teased Miss Moppet—Miss Moppet thinks she will tease the Mouse; which is not at all nice of Miss Moppet. She ties him up in the duster, and tosses it about like a ball. But she forgot about that hole in the duster; and when she untied it—there was no Mouse!
