Now Lady Duck didn't have much to

with his pipe in his mouth. 1t
might be that he could tell something
about 1t. Any way, that is what. Tin

how he knew that the King Of the

Then all of the mice came up to
take d good look at Lady Duck. They
stood on their hind feet and shifted
the air. Then they would whisper
to each other, and then they would
shake their heads, as much as to say:

Tinker feel very baby for he loved
Lady Duck and knew very well that
they were not thinking anything good

"Come right here" he1 said to Mr..
