Then Nannie put on her shoes again, having rested her feet on a velvet carpet of moss, while Uncle Wiggily was sewing, and together they went on to the Longtail mouse party. "Oh, what nice shoes you have, Nannie!" cried Susie Littletail, the rabbit girl. "And what lovely stylish buttons!" exclaimed Lulu Wibblewobble, the duck. "Yes, Uncle Wiggily sewed them on for me," said Nannie.
"I haven't shaved my whiskers, my ears need brushing, and I would have to do lots of things to make myself look nice and ready for a party!" "Oh, dear!" bleated Nannie Wagtail. "I did so want you to come with me!" "Well, I'll walk as far as the Longtail mouse home," said the bunny uncle, "but I won't go in. "Oh, maybe you will when you get there!"
I was frightened away from you just as I was going to implore your compassion for any unfortunate mouse that might happen to fall within your power; lest you should destroy my dear and only surviving brother, Longtail; but somebody entering the room, prevented me, and after I had regained my hiding place, I resolved to quit the house, and once more set out in search of my beloved brother.
We ought then to have been contented; and had we been so, we should have been as happy as our state of life would have admitted of. 'What you say is certainly very true, replied Longtail, 'and I sincerely wish that we had thought of these things before.
“Oh, I must do something to that cat!” thought Mrs. No-Tail. “I must make him let Mrs. Longtail go.” So she thought and thought, and finally the frog lady saw a sprinkling can hanging on a nail in the dining-room, where Mrs. Longtail kept it to water the flowers with. “I think that will do,” said Mrs. No-Tail.

At first Bawly couldn’t tell what it was, and then, to his surprise, he saw that the boy had caught Jollie Longtail, the nice little mousie boy, about whom I once told you. “Ah ha! Now I have you!” cried the boy to the mouse. “You went in the feed box in my father’s barn, and I have caught you.” “Oh, but I only took the least bit of corn,” said Jollie Longtail.
