She sits in front of the fire with a duster over her head looking very vulnerable. The mouse creeps up beside her as he thinks she is looking ill but Miss Moppet spies him through a hole in the duster and manages to catch him. She ties him up in the duster to teach him a lesson but forgets the hole and the mouse escapes and goes back to teasing her by dancing a jig on the mantle piece.* A NEAR VG++ copy with some minor age to dust jacket.*
