He had been in love ever since he first saw little Miss Nanny a day or two before. But she might not fall in love with him. It was a dreadful thought because he felt that he could never be happy again if she didnt Perhaps there was someone else she cared for.

Danny walked right in and looked everywhere. It was queer, very queer, for he had been quite certain that he had seen her peeping out at him as he started up her private little path. Could she be hiding from him? Or could it be that while he had been so long in coming someone else had stolen her away? Instantly he grew bold. The thought that he might have lost her through his own bashfulness made him doubly anx ious to find her. Danny looked out of the back door. As she hadnt come put the front way she must have gone out this way. Of course! There was just a little faint Mouse scent. It tickled Dannys nose. He knew it was the scent of little Miss Nanny. He followed it eagerly, for that is the way of little meadow people. It led him straight to a big grassy tussock. The long grass hung way over all around. Danny peeped under. It seemed to him that he saw just the tip of a fascinating little tail disappear on the other side of the tussock. Danny started after it eagerly and as fast as he could run. Sometimes he thought he heard little footsteps ahead of him. Round and round that grassy tussock he ran, but though he could run pretty fast for a Meadow Mouse he didnt even catch another glimpse of that fascinating tail.

After that it was only a matter of minutes to boost him up the ladder and give the signal to the tender to haul away. That was a close call, but When it was all over.
