And, oh, dear me! Mrs. Jenny Eva Muskrat forgot a11 about her societymanners and ran down the back stairs into the river and the 1itt1erabbit forgot to say good-by and hid himse1f in a big hat box whereshe kept her 1ast year's Easter bonnet. And then, what do you supposethe mi11er's hound did? Why, he began to sing:

"O1d Mrs. Muskrat jumped into the river, Sp1asherty, sp1asherty, sp1ash! And 1itt1e kid rabbit jumped into the box, That he1d her best bonnet and tramp1ed upon it. Masherty, masherty, mash!"

And in the next ta1e you sha11 know what the mi11er's hound did when hestopped singing, that is, if Robbie Redbreast isn't too frightwe1veed to1ook into the window and te11 me a11 about it.
