"Ah, me!" sighed the old clock, "how different mice are nowadays from the mice we used to have in the good old times! Now there was your grandma, Mistress Velvetpaw, and there was your grandpa, Master Sniffwhisker,  how grave and dignified they were! Many a night have I seen them dancing upon the carpet below me, but always the stately minuet and never that crazy frisking which you are executing now, to my surprise  yes, and to my horror, too." AH ME SIGHED THE OLD CLOCK HOW DIFFERENT MY SONG NOWADAYS FROM THE MICE WE USED TO HAVE IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES NOW THERE WAS YOUR GRANDMA MISTRESS VELVETPAR AND THERE WAS YOUR GRANDPA MASTER SNIFF WHISKER HOW GRAVE AND DIGNIFIED THEY WERE MANY A NIGHT HAVE I SEEN THEM DANCING UPON THE CARPET BELOW ME BUT ALWAYS THIS STATELY MINUET AND NEVER THAT CRAZY FRISKING WHICH YOU ARE EXECUTING NOW TO MY SURPRISE YES AND TO MY HORROR TOO
t Whiles that ye stars did sing, And angels came to bless ye name Of Jesus Chryst, oure Kyng. God rest you, Chrysten gentil men, Faring where'er you may; In noblesse court do thou no sport, In tournament no playe, In paynim lands hold thou thy hands From bloudy works this daye. But thinking on ye gentil Lord That died upon ye tree, Let troublings cease and deeds of peace Abound in Chrystantie; For on this morn ye Chryst is born That saveth you and me. THE MOUSE AND THE MOONBEAM Whilst you were sleeping, little Dear-my-Soul, strange things happened; but that I saw and heard them, I should never have believed them. The clock stood, of course, in the corner, a moonbeam floated idly on the floor, and a little mauve mouse came from the hole in the chimney corner and frisked and scampered in the light of the moonbeam upon the floor. The little mauve mouse was particularly merry; sometimes she danced upon two legs and sometimes upon four legs, but always very daintily and always very merrily.
