Now, of the dolls that she had in goodly number, that one which was named Beautiful did our little Mistress Merciless love best. NOW OF THE DOLLS THAT SHE HAD IN GOODLY NUMBER THAT ONE WHICH WAS NAMED BEAUTIFUL DID OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS LOVE BEST
mighty din and a fearful fluttering, and the rest flew swiftly away, but Joyous could not do so, because the full evil cat held him in her cruel fangs and claws. And I make no doubt that Joyous would speedily have met his death, but that with a wrathful cry did our little Mistress Merciless hasten to his rescue. And our little Mistress belabored that full evil cat with Master Sweetheart's crutch, until that cruel beast let loose her hold upon the fluttering bird and was full glad to escape with her aching bones into the thicket again. So it was that Joyous was recovered from death; but even then might it have fared ill with him, had they not taken him up and dressed his wounds and cared for him until duly he was well again. And then they released him to do his plaisance, and he returned to his home in the tree hard by the arbor and there he sung unto those children more sweetly than ever before; for his heart was full of gratitude to our little Mistress Merciless and Master Sweetheart. ARBOUR O THERE WAS A MIGHTY DIN AND A FEARFUL FLUTTERING AND THE REST FLEW SWIFTLY AWAY BUT JOYOUS COULD NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE FULL EVIL CAT HELD HIM IN HER CRUEL FANGS AND CLAWS AND I MAKE NO DOUBT THAT JOYOUS WOULD SPEEDILY HAVE MET HIS DEATH BUT THAT WITH A WRATHFUL CRY DID OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS HASTEN TO HIS RESCUE AND OUR LITTLE MISTRESS BELABOURED THAT FULL EVIL CAT WITH MASTER SWEETHEART'S CRUTCH UNTIL THAT CRUEL BEAST LET LOOSE HER HOLD UPON THE FLUTTERING BIRD AND WAS FULL GLAD TO ESCAPE WITH HER ACHING BONES INTO THE THICKET AGAIN SO IT WAS THAT JOYOUS WAS RECOVERED FROM DEATH BUT EVEN THEN MIGHT IT HAVE FARED ILL WITH HIM HAD THEY NOT TAKEN HIM UP AND DRESSED HIS WOUNDS AND CARED FOR UNTIL DULY HE WAS WELL AGAIN AND THEN THEY RELEASED HIM TO DO HIS PLACE AND HE RETURNED TO HIS HOME IN THE TREE HARD BY THE ARBOR AND THERE HE SUNG UNTO THOSE CHILDREN MORE SWEETLY THAN EVER BEFORE FOR HIS HEART WAS FULL OF GRATITUDE TO OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS AND MASTER SWEETHEART
