It was lucky for Wishie that she gained a few minutes on the housekeeper, for by that means, making the best use of her time, she flew along the gallery, down the staircase, and jumping out of an open window, was safely hidden among the shrubs in the garden, before her enemy had descended the stairs.
She had not advanced many steps when the broken china caught her eye; her back was towards the mirror, so she did not see that but she did see Wishie, and exclaiming, 'You naughty little kitten, you have been throwing down the china! She flew towards Wishie, and if she could have caught her, would, no doubt, have given her a dreadful whipping; but, as she had luckily left the door open, Wishie contrived to slip past her, and dart out of the room.

Wishie sighed as she listened to their cheerful chirpings.
