BABY PEGGY'S OWN STORY BOOK her, pinning her tail fast. It was some time before little Timmy Mouse (for it was he who had rolled the stone on Old Tabby's tail) dared to look over the edge of the pit to see how well his plans worked. "So it was you?" said Tabby, glaring at Timmy. One look was enough for little Timmy and he scurried off home as fast as he could go. By this time it was quite late and poor little Fluffy was still running, thankful to have escaped Old Tabby, but fearful of some new danger at every step. Suddenly a voice beside her said, "Don't be frightened, follow close to me for I can see quite well in the dark. You did me a good turn once in the daylight and now I can help you in the dark." With these words, Mr. Bat (for it was the same one she had helped that afternoon when he had fallen from the tree) took hold of her hand and led her to Furrikins' home where they were all waiting to greet her. After Mrs. Woodpecker had jumped on Mrs. Tabby, she flew on to tell the little folks at the party all about poor Fluffy 's experience, and to ask them to keep the party waiting just a little longer. It was surely a grand party. They had it on their beautiful lawn and the moon had come out so brightly that the little folks played all their games they had arranged for the daytime. There were nuts, apples, candies, and all sorts of goodies to eat, nice games to play, and they danced around in the moon [12]
