DREADFUL!
If Daisy is afraid of anything in this world, it is a mouse, and one night after she was put to bed she thought she heard one. ‘Oh '. mamma,’ she called, ‘ come in quick ! I hear a mouse.’ * No, Daisy,’ her mother said, going in, ‘ it’s only the rain pattering on the window.’ ‘ But I heard him a-nibblin’ behind the trunk.’ ‘ My dear child, there are no mice about the house.’ ‘ But there was one, sure,’ persisted Daisy. ‘ I heard his little feet a-trampin’ and his tail a-draggin’!’
