+</p>
+
+<p>Once upon a time there was a Pussy-cat called Ribby, who invited a
+little dog called Duchess, to tea.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Come in good time, my dear Duchess,&quot; said Ribby's letter, &quot;and we
+will have something so very nice. I am baking it in a pie-dish&mdash;a
+pie-dish with a pink rim. You never tasted anything so good! And <i>you</i>
+shall eat it all! <i>I</i> will eat muffins, my dear Duchess!&quot; wrote
+Ribby.</p>
+
+<p>Duchess read the letter and wrote an answer:&mdash;&quot;I will come with much
+pleasure at a quarter past four. But it is very strange. <i>I</i> was just
+going to invite you to come here, to supper, my dear Ribby, to eat
+something <i>most delicious</i>.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I will come very punctually, my dear Ribby,&quot; wrote Duchess; and then
+at the end she added&mdash;&quot;I hope it isn't mouse?&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter">
+<a href="images/pie13.jpg">
+<img src="images/pie13.jpg" width="367" height="500" alt="THE INVITATION"
+title="THE INVITATION" /></a></p>
+
+
+<p>And then she thought that did not look quite polite; so she scratched
+out &quot;isn't mouse&quot; and changed it to &quot;I hope it will be fine,&quot; and
+she gave her letter to the postman.</p>
+
+<p>But she thought a great deal about Ribby's pie, and she read Ribby's
+letter over and over again.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I am dreadfully afraid it <i>will</i> be mouse!&quot; said Duchess to
+herself&mdash;&quot;I really couldn't, <i>couldn't</i> eat mouse pie. And I shall have
+to eat it, because it is a party. And <i>my</i> pie was going to be veal
+and ham. A pink and white pie-dish! and so is mine; just like Ribby's
+dishes; they were both bought at Tabitha Twitchit's.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Duchess went into her larder and took the pie off a shelf and looked
+at it.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie15.gif">
+<img src="images/pie15.gif" width="440" height="303" alt="Dutchess retrieves her pie"
+title="Dutchess retrieves her pie" /></a>
+</p>
+
+<p>&quot;It is all ready to put into the oven. Such lovely pie-crust; and I
+put in a little tin patty-pan to hold up the crust; and I made a hole
+in the middle with a fork to let out the steam&mdash;Oh I do wish I could
+eat my own pie, instead of a pie made of mouse!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Duchess considered and considered and read Ribby's letter again&mdash;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;A pink and white pie-dish&mdash;and <i>you</i> shall eat it <i>all</i>. 'You' means
+me&mdash;then Ribby is not going to even taste the pie herself? A pink and
+white pie-dish! Ribby is sure to go out to buy the muffins.... Oh what
+a good idea! Why shouldn't I rush along and put my pie into Ribby's
+oven when Ribby isn't there?&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie17.gif">

+title="Dutchess likes her pie with ham and veal" /></a>
+</p>
+
+<p>Duchess was quite delighted with her own cleverness!</p>
+
+<p>Ribby in the meantime had received Duchess's answer, and as soon as
+she was sure that the little dog could come&mdash;she popped <i>her</i> pie into
+the oven. There were two ovens, one above the other; some other knobs
+and handles were only ornamental and not intended to open. Ribby put
+the pie into the lower oven; the door was very stiff.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;The top oven bakes too quickly,&quot; said Ribby to herself. &quot;It is a pie
+of the most delicate and tender mouse minced up with bacon. And I have
+taken out all the bones; because Duchess did nearly choke herself with
+a fish-bone last time I gave a party. She eats a little fast&mdash;rather
+big mouthfuls. But a most genteel and elegant little dog; infinitely
+superior company to Cousin Tabitha Twitchit.&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie19.jpg">
+<img src="images/pie19.jpg" width="372" height="500"
+alt="THE PIE MADE OF MOUSE" title="THE PIE MADE OF MOUSE" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>Ribby put on some coal and swept up the hearth. Then she went out
+with a can to the well, for water to fill up the kettle.</p>
+
+<p>Then she began to set the room in order, for it was the sitting-room
+as well as the kitchen. She shook the mats out at the front-door and
+put them straight; the hearthrug was a rabbit-skin. She dusted the
+clock and the ornaments on the mantelpiece, and she polished and
+rubbed the tables and chairs.</p>
+
+<p>Then she spread a very clean white table-cloth, and set out her best
+china tea-set, which she took out of a wall-cupboard near the
+fireplace. The tea-cups were white with a pattern of pink roses; and
+the dinner-plates were white and blue.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie21.gif">

+alt="Ribby prepares for her guest" title="Ribby prepares for her guest" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>When Ribby had laid the table she took a jug and a blue and white
+dish, and went out down the field to the farm, to fetch milk and
+butter.</p>
+
+<p>When she came back, she peeped into the bottom oven; the pie looked
+very comfortable.</p>
+
+<p>Ribby put on her shawl and bonnet and went out again with a basket, to
+the village shop to buy a packet of tea, a pound of lump sugar, and a
+pot of marmalade.</p>
+
+<p>And just at the same time, Duchess came out of <i>her</i> house, at the
+other end of the village.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie23.jpg">
+<img src="images/pie23.jpg" width="369" height="500"
+alt="THE VEAL AND HAM PIE" title="THE VEAL AND HAM PIE" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>Ribby met Duchess half-way down the street, also carrying a basket,
+covered with a cloth. They only bowed to one another; they
+did not speak, because they were going to have a party.</p>
+
+<p>As soon as Duchess had got round the corner out of sight&mdash;she simply
+ran! Straight away to Ribby's house!</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie24.gif">

+alt="Dutchess and Ribby pass on the street"
+title="Dutchess and Ribby pass on the street" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>Ribby went into the shop and bought what she required, and came out,
+after a pleasant gossip with Cousin Tabitha Twitchit.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie25.gif">
+<img src="images/pie25.gif" width="494" height="369"
+alt="Ribby leaves Tabitha's shop" title="Ribby leaves Tabitha's shop"/>
+</a></p>
+
+<p>Cousin Tabitha was disdainful afterwards in conversation&mdash;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;A little <i>dog</i> indeed! Just as if there were no CATS in Sawrey!
+And a <i>pie</i> for afternoon tea! The very idea!&quot; said Cousin Tabitha
+Twitchit.</p>
+
+<p>Ribby went on to Timothy Baker's and bought the muffins. Then she went
+home.</p>
+
+<p>There seemed to be a sort of scuffling noise in the back passage, as
+she was coming in at the front door.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I trust that is not that Pie: the spoons are locked up, however,&quot;
+said Ribby.</p>
+
+<p>But there was nobody there. Ribby opened the bottom oven door with
+some difficulty, and turned the pie. There began to be a pleasing
+smell of baked mouse!</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie27.jpg">
+<img src="images/pie27.jpg" width="368" height="500"
+alt="WHERE IS THE PIE MADE OF MOUSE?"
+title="WHERE IS THE PIE MADE OF MOUSE?" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>Duchess in the meantime, had slipped out at the back door.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;It is a very odd thing that Ribby's pie was <i>not</i> in the oven when I
+put mine in! And I can't find it anywhere; I have looked all over the
+house. I put <i>my</i> pie into a nice hot oven at the top. I could not
+turn any of the other handles; I think that they are all shams,&quot; said
+Duchess, &quot;but I wish I could have removed the pie made of mouse! I
+cannot think what she has done with it? I heard Ribby coming and I had
+to run out by the back door!&quot;</p>

+title="Dutchess grooms for her social visit" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>Duchess went home and brushed her beautiful black coat; and then she
+picked a bunch of flowers in her garden as a present for Ribby; and
+passed the time until the clock struck four.</p>
+
+<p>Ribby&mdash;having assured herself by careful search that there was really
+no one hiding in the cupboard or in the larder&mdash;went upstairs to
+change her dress.</p>
+
+<p>She put on a lilac silk gown, for the party, and an embroidered muslin
+apron and tippet.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;It is very strange,&quot; said Ribby, &quot;I did not <i>think</i> I left that
+drawer pulled out; has somebody been trying on my mittens?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>She came downstairs again, and made the tea, and put the teapot on the
+hob. She peeped again into the <i>bottom</i> oven, the pie had become a
+lovely brown, and it was steaming hot.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie31.jpg">
+<img src="images/pie31.jpg" width="368" height="500"
+alt="READY FOR THE PARTY" title="READY FOR THE PARTY" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>She sat down before the fire to wait for the little dog. &quot;I am glad I
+used the <i>bottom</i> oven,&quot; said Ribby, &quot;the top one would certainly have
+been very much too hot. I wonder why that cupboard door was open? Can
+there really have been someone in the house?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Very punctually at four o'clock, Duchess started to go to the party.
+She ran so fast through the village that she was too early, and she
+had to wait a little while in the lane that leads down to Ribby's
+house.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I wonder if Ribby has taken <i>my</i> pie out of the oven yet?&quot; said
+Duchess, &quot;and whatever can have become of the other pie made of
+mouse?&quot;</p>

+alt="Bringing a present of flowers" title="Bringing a present of flowers"/>
+</a></p>
+
+<p>At a quarter past four to the minute, there came a most genteel little
+tap-tappity. &quot;Is Mrs. Ribston at home?&quot; inquired Duchess in the porch.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Come in! and how do you do, my dear Duchess?&quot; cried Ribby. &quot;I hope I
+see you well?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Quite well, I thank you, and how do <i>you</i> do, my dear Ribby?&quot; said
+Duchess. &quot;I've brought you some flowers; what a delicious smell of
+pie!&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie35.jpg">
+<img src="images/pie35.jpg" width="367" height="500"
+alt="DUCHESS IN THE PORCH" title="DUCHESS IN THE PORCH" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>&quot;Oh, what lovely flowers! Yes, it is mouse and bacon!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Do not talk about food, my dear Ribby,&quot; said Duchess; &quot;what a lovely
+white tea-cloth!... Is it done to a turn? Is it still in the oven?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I think it wants another five minutes,&quot; said Ribby. &quot;Just a shade
+longer; I will pour out the tea, while we wait. Do you take sugar, my
+dear Duchess?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Oh yes, please! my dear Ribby; and may I have a lump upon my nose?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;With pleasure, my dear Duchess; how beautifully you beg! Oh, how
+sweetly pretty!&quot;</p>

+</a></p>
+
+<p>Duchess sat up with the sugar on her nose and sniffed&mdash;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;How good that pie smells! I do love veal and ham&mdash;I mean to say mouse
+and bacon&mdash;&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie38.gif">

+</a></p>
+
+<p>She dropped the sugar in confusion, and had to go hunting under the
+tea-table, so did not see which oven Ribby opened in order to get out
+the pie.</p>
+
+<p>Ribby set the pie upon the table; there was a very savoury smell.</p>
+
+<p>Duchess came out from under the table-cloth munching sugar, and sat
+up on a chair.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I will first cut the pie for you; I am going to have muffin and
+marmalade,&quot; said Ribby.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Do you really prefer muffin? Mind the patty-pan!&quot;</p>

+</a></p>
+
+<p>&quot;I beg your pardon?&quot; said Ribby.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;May I pass you the marmalade?&quot; said Duchess hurriedly.</p>
+
+<p>The pie proved extremely toothsome, and the muffins light and hot.
+They disappeared rapidly, especially the pie!</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I think&quot;&mdash;(thought the Duchess to herself)&mdash;&quot;I <i>think</i> it would be
+wiser if I helped myself to pie; though Ribby did not seem to notice
+anything when she was cutting it. What very small fine pieces it has
+cooked into! I did not remember that I had minced it up so fine; I
+suppose this is a quicker oven than my own.&quot;</p>

+
+<p>The pie-dish was emptying rapidly! Duchess had had four helps already,
+and was fumbling with the spoon. &quot;A little more bacon, my dear
+Duchess?&quot; said Ribby.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Thank you, my dear Ribby; I was only feeling for the patty-pan.&quot;</p>

+
+<p>&quot;The patty-pan? my dear Duchess?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;The patty-pan that held up the pie-crust,&quot; said Duchess, blushing
+under her black coat.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Oh, I didn't put one in, my dear Duchess,&quot; said Ribby; &quot;I don't think
+that it is necessary in pies made of mouse.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Duchess fumbled with the spoon&mdash;&quot;I can't find it!&quot; she said anxiously.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;There isn't a patty-pan,&quot; said Ribby, looking perplexed.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Yes, indeed, my dear Ribby; where can it have gone to?&quot; said
+Duchess.</p>

+</a></p>
+
+<p>&quot;There most certainly is not one, my dear Duchess. I disapprove of tin
+articles in puddings and pies. It is most undesirable&mdash;(especially
+when people swallow in lumps!)&quot; she added in a lower voice.</p>
+
+<p>Duchess looked very much alarmed, and continued to scoop the inside
+of the pie-dish.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;My Great-aunt Squintina (grandmother of Cousin Tabitha
+Twitchit)&mdash;died of a thimble in a Christmas plum-pudding. <i>I</i> never
+put any article of metal in <i>my</i> puddings or pies.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Duchess looked aghast, and tilted up the pie-dish.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I have only four patty-pans, and they are all in the cupboard.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Duchess set up a howl.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I shall die! I shall die! I have swallowed a patty-pan! Oh, my dear
+Ribby, I do feel so ill!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;It is impossible, my dear Duchess; there was not a patty-pan.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Duchess moaned and whined and rocked herself about.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Oh I feel so dreadful, I have swallowed a patty-pan!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;There was <i>nothing</i> in the pie,&quot; said Ribby severely.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Yes there <i>was</i>, my dear Ribby, I am sure I have swallowed it!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Let me prop you up with a pillow, my dear Duchess; where do you think
+you feel it?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Oh I do feel so ill <i>all over</i> me, my dear Ribby; I have swallowed a
+large tin patty-pan with a sharp scalloped edge!&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie47.gif">

+</a></p>
+
+<p>&quot;Shall I run for the doctor? I will just lock up the spoons!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Oh yes, yes! fetch Dr. Maggotty, my dear Ribby: he is a Pie himself,
+he will certainly understand.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Ribby settled Duchess in an armchair before the fire, and went out and
+hurried to the village to look for the doctor.</p>
+
+<p>She found him at the smithy.</p>
+
+<p>He was occupied in putting rusty nails into a bottle of ink, which he
+had obtained at the post office.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Gammon? ha! HA!&quot; said he, with his head on one side.</p>
+
+<p>Ribby explained that her guest had swallowed a patty-pan.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Spinach? ha! HA!&quot; said he, and accompanied her with alacrity.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie49.jpg">

+alt="DR. MAGGOTTY'S MIXTURE" title="DR. MAGGOTTY'S MIXTURE" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>He hopped so fast that Ribby had to run. It was most conspicuous. All
+the village could see that Ribby was fetching the doctor.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I <i>knew</i> they would over-eat themselves!&quot; said Cousin Tabitha
+Twitchit.</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie51.gif">
+<img src="images/pie51.gif" width="500" height="324"
+alt="Tabitha observes" title="Tabitha observes"/>
+</a></p>
+
+<p>But while Ribby had been hunting for the doctor&mdash;a curious thing had
+happened to Duchess, who had been left by herself, sitting before the
+fire, sighing and groaning and feeling very unhappy.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;How <i>could</i> I have swallowed it! such a large thing as a patty-pan!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>She got up and went to the table, and felt inside the pie-dish again
+with a spoon.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;No; there is no patty-pan, and I put one in; and nobody has eaten pie
+except me, so I must have swallowed it!&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie52.gif">
+<img src="images/pie52.gif" width="296" height="309"
+alt="Dutchess is conflicted" title="Dutchess is conflicted" />
+</a></p>
+
+<p>She sat down again, and stared mournfully at the grate. The fire
+crackled and danced, and something sizz-z-zled!</p>
+
+<p>Duchess started! She opened the door of the <i>top</i> oven; out came a
+rich steamy flavour of veal and ham, and there stood a fine brown
+pie,&mdash;and through a hole in the top of the pie-crust there was a
+glimpse of a little tin patty-pan!</p>
+
+<p>Duchess drew a long breath&mdash;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Then I must have been eating MOUSE!... No wonder I feel ill.... But
+perhaps I should feel worse if I had really swallowed a patty-pan!&quot;
+Duchess reflected&mdash;&quot;What a very awkward thing to have to explain to
+Ribby! I think I will put <i>my</i> pie in the back-yard and say nothing
+about it. When I go home, I will run round and take it away.&quot; She put
+it outside the back-door, and sat down again by the fire, and shut her
+eyes; when Ribby arrived with the doctor, she seemed fast asleep.</p>
+

+</a></p>
+
+<p>&quot;Gammon, ha, HA?&quot; said the doctor.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I am feeling very much better,&quot; said Duchess, waking up with a jump.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I am truly glad to hear it! He has brought you a pill, my dear
+Duchess!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I think I should feel <i>quite</i> well if he only felt my pulse,&quot; said
+Duchess, backing away from the magpie, who sidled up with something in
+his beak.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;It is only a bread pill, you had much better take it; drink a little
+milk, my dear Duchess!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Gammon? Gammon?&quot; said the doctor, while Duchess coughed and choked.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Don't say that again!&quot; said Ribby, losing her temper&mdash;&quot;Here, take
+this bread and jam, and get out into the yard!&quot;</p>
+
+<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie56.gif">
+<img src="images/pie56.gif" width="397" height="332"
+alt="What a peculiar doctor!" title="What a peculiar doctor!"/>
+</a></p>
+
+<p>&quot;Gammon and Spinach! ha ha HA!&quot; shouted Dr. Maggotty triumphantly
+outside the back door.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I am feeling very much better my dear Ribby,&quot; said Duchess. &quot;Do you
+not think that I had better go home before it gets dark?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Perhaps it might be wise, my dear Duchess. I will lend you a nice
+warm shawl, and you shall take my arm.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I would not trouble you for worlds; I feel wonderfully better. One
+pill of Dr. Maggotty&mdash;&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Indeed it is most admirable, if it has cured you of a patty-pan! I
+will call directly after breakfast to ask how you have slept.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Ribby and Duchess said goodbye affectionately, and Duchess started
+home. Half-way up the lane she stopped and looked back; Ribby had gone
+in and shut her door. Duchess slipped through the fence, and ran round
+to the back of Ribby's house, and peeped into the yard.</p>
+
+<p>Upon the roof of the pig-stye sat Dr. Maggotty and three jackdaws. The
+jackdaws were eating pie-crust, and the magpie was drinking gravy out
+of a patty-pan.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Gammon, ha, HA!&quot; he shouted when he saw Duchess's little black nose
+peeping round the corner.</p>
+
+<p>Duchess ran home feeling uncommonly silly!</p>
+
+<p>When Ribby came out for a pailful of water to wash up the tea-things,
+she found a pink and white pie-dish lying smashed in the
+middle of the yard. The patty-pan was under the pump, where Dr.
+Maggotty had considerately left it.</p>
+

+</a></p>
+
+<p>Ribby stared with amazement&mdash;&quot;Did you ever see the like! so there
+really <i>was</i> a patty-pan?... But <i>my</i> patty-pans are all in the
+kitchen cupboard. Well I never did!... Next time I want to give a
+party&mdash;I will invite Cousin Tabitha Twitchit!&quot;</p>

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+

+
+Once upon a time there was a Pussy-cat called Ribby, who invited a
+little dog called Duchess, to tea.
+
+"Come in good time, my dear Duchess," said Ribby's letter, "and we
+will have something so very nice. I am baking it in a pie-dish--a
+pie-dish with a pink rim. You never tasted anything so good! And _you_
+shall eat it all! _I_ will eat muffins, my dear Duchess!" wrote
+Ribby.
+
+Duchess read the letter and wrote an answer:--"I will come with much
+pleasure at a quarter past four. But it is very strange. _I_ was just
+going to invite you to come here, to supper, my dear Ribby, to eat
+something _most delicious_.
+
+"I will come very punctually, my dear Ribby," wrote Duchess; and then
+at the end she added--"I hope it isn't mouse?"
+
+[Illustration: THE INVITATION]
+
+And then she thought that did not look quite polite; so she scratched
+out "isn't mouse" and changed it to "I hope it will be fine," and
+she gave her letter to the postman.
+
+But she thought a great deal about Ribby's pie, and she read Ribby's
+letter over and over again.
+
+"I am dreadfully afraid it _will_ be mouse!" said Duchess to
+herself--"I really couldn't, _couldn't_ eat mouse pie. And I shall have
+to eat it, because it is a party. And _my_ pie was going to be veal
+and ham. A pink and white pie-dish! and so is mine; just like Ribby's
+dishes; they were both bought at Tabitha Twitchit's."
+
+Duchess went into her larder and took the pie off a shelf and looked
+at it.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"It is all ready to put into the oven. Such lovely pie-crust; and I
+put in a little tin patty-pan to hold up the crust; and I made a hole
+in the middle with a fork to let out the steam--Oh I do wish I could
+eat my own pie, instead of a pie made of mouse!"
+
+Duchess considered and considered and read Ribby's letter again--
+
+"A pink and white pie-dish--and _you_ shall eat it _all_. 'You' means
+me--then Ribby is not going to even taste the pie herself? A pink and
+white pie-dish! Ribby is sure to go out to buy the muffins.... Oh what
+a good idea! Why shouldn't I rush along and put my pie into Ribby's
+oven when Ribby isn't there?"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Duchess was quite delighted with her own cleverness!
+
+Ribby in the meantime had received Duchess's answer, and as soon as
+she was sure that the little dog could come--she popped _her_ pie into
+the oven. There were two ovens, one above the other; some other knobs
+and handles were only ornamental and not intended to open. Ribby put
+the pie into the lower oven; the door was very stiff.
+
+"The top oven bakes too quickly," said Ribby to herself. "It is a pie
+of the most delicate and tender mouse minced up with bacon. And I have
+taken out all the bones; because Duchess did nearly choke herself with
+a fish-bone last time I gave a party. She eats a little fast--rather
+big mouthfuls. But a most genteel and elegant little dog; infinitely
+superior company to Cousin Tabitha Twitchit."
+
+[Illustration: THE PIE MADE OF MOUSE]
+
+Ribby put on some coal and swept up the hearth. Then she went out
+with a can to the well, for water to fill up the kettle.
+
+Then she began to set the room in order, for it was the sitting-room
+as well as the kitchen. She shook the mats out at the front-door and
+put them straight; the hearthrug was a rabbit-skin. She dusted the
+clock and the ornaments on the mantelpiece, and she polished and
+rubbed the tables and chairs.
+
+Then she spread a very clean white table-cloth, and set out her best
+china tea-set, which she took out of a wall-cupboard near the
+fireplace. The tea-cups were white with a pattern of pink roses; and
+the dinner-plates were white and blue.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When Ribby had laid the table she took a jug and a blue and white
+dish, and went out down the field to the farm, to fetch milk and
+butter.
+
+When she came back, she peeped into the bottom oven; the pie looked
+very comfortable.
+
+Ribby put on her shawl and bonnet and went out again with a basket, to
+the village shop to buy a packet of tea, a pound of lump sugar, and a
+pot of marmalade.
+
+And just at the same time, Duchess came out of _her_ house, at the
+other end of the village.
+
+[Illustration: THE VEAL AND HAM PIE]
+
+Ribby met Duchess half-way down the street, also carrying a basket,
+covered with a cloth. They only bowed to one another; they
+did not speak, because they were going to have a party.
+
+As soon as Duchess had got round the corner out of sight--she simply
+ran! Straight away to Ribby's house!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Ribby went into the shop and bought what she required, and came out,
+after a pleasant gossip with Cousin Tabitha Twitchit.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Cousin Tabitha was disdainful afterwards in conversation--
+
+"A little _dog_ indeed! Just as if there were no CATS in Sawrey!
+And a _pie_ for afternoon tea! The very idea!" said Cousin Tabitha
+Twitchit.
+
+Ribby went on to Timothy Baker's and bought the muffins. Then she went
+home.
+
+There seemed to be a sort of scuffling noise in the back passage, as
+she was coming in at the front door.
+
+"I trust that is not that Pie: the spoons are locked up, however,"
+said Ribby.
+
+But there was nobody there. Ribby opened the bottom oven door with
+some difficulty, and turned the pie. There began to be a pleasing
+smell of baked mouse!
+
+[Illustration: WHERE IS THE PIE MADE OF MOUSE?]
+
+Duchess in the meantime, had slipped out at the back door.
+
+"It is a very odd thing that Ribby's pie was _not_ in the oven when I
+put mine in! And I can't find it anywhere; I have looked all over the
+house. I put _my_ pie into a nice hot oven at the top. I could not
+turn any of the other handles; I think that they are all shams," said
+Duchess, "but I wish I could have removed the pie made of mouse! I
+cannot think what she has done with it? I heard Ribby coming and I had
+to run out by the back door!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Duchess went home and brushed her beautiful black coat; and then she
+picked a bunch of flowers in her garden as a present for Ribby; and
+passed the time until the clock struck four.
+
+Ribby--having assured herself by careful search that there was really
+no one hiding in the cupboard or in the larder--went upstairs to
+change her dress.
+
+She put on a lilac silk gown, for the party, and an embroidered muslin
+apron and tippet.
+
+"It is very strange," said Ribby, "I did not _think_ I left that
+drawer pulled out; has somebody been trying on my mittens?"
+
+She came downstairs again, and made the tea, and put the teapot on the
+hob. She peeped again into the _bottom_ oven, the pie had become a
+lovely brown, and it was steaming hot.
+
+[Illustration: READY FOR THE PARTY]
+
+She sat down before the fire to wait for the little dog. "I am glad I
+used the _bottom_ oven," said Ribby, "the top one would certainly have
+been very much too hot. I wonder why that cupboard door was open? Can
+there really have been someone in the house?"
+
+Very punctually at four o'clock, Duchess started to go to the party.
+She ran so fast through the village that she was too early, and she
+had to wait a little while in the lane that leads down to Ribby's
+house.
+
+"I wonder if Ribby has taken _my_ pie out of the oven yet?" said
+Duchess, "and whatever can have become of the other pie made of
+mouse?"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+At a quarter past four to the minute, there came a most genteel little
+tap-tappity. "Is Mrs. Ribston at home?" inquired Duchess in the porch.
+
+"Come in! and how do you do, my dear Duchess?" cried Ribby. "I hope I
+see you well?"
+
+"Quite well, I thank you, and how do _you_ do, my dear Ribby?" said
+Duchess. "I've brought you some flowers; what a delicious smell of
+pie!"
+
+[Illustration: DUCHESS IN THE PORCH]
+
+"Oh, what lovely flowers! Yes, it is mouse and bacon!"
+
+"Do not talk about food, my dear Ribby," said Duchess; "what a lovely
+white tea-cloth!... Is it done to a turn? Is it still in the oven?"
+
+"I think it wants another five minutes," said Ribby. "Just a shade
+longer; I will pour out the tea, while we wait. Do you take sugar, my
+dear Duchess?"
+
+"Oh yes, please! my dear Ribby; and may I have a lump upon my nose?"
+
+"With pleasure, my dear Duchess; how beautifully you beg! Oh, how
+sweetly pretty!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Duchess sat up with the sugar on her nose and sniffed--
+
+"How good that pie smells! I do love veal and ham--I mean to say mouse
+and bacon--"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+She dropped the sugar in confusion, and had to go hunting under the
+tea-table, so did not see which oven Ribby opened in order to get out
+the pie.
+
+Ribby set the pie upon the table; there was a very savoury smell.
+
+Duchess came out from under the table-cloth munching sugar, and sat
+up on a chair.
+
+"I will first cut the pie for you; I am going to have muffin and
+marmalade," said Ribby.
+
+"Do you really prefer muffin? Mind the patty-pan!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"I beg your pardon?" said Ribby.
+
+"May I pass you the marmalade?" said Duchess hurriedly.
+
+The pie proved extremely toothsome, and the muffins light and hot.
+They disappeared rapidly, especially the pie!
+
+"I think"--(thought the Duchess to herself)--"I _think_ it would be
+wiser if I helped myself to pie; though Ribby did not seem to notice
+anything when she was cutting it. What very small fine pieces it has
+cooked into! I did not remember that I had minced it up so fine; I
+suppose this is a quicker oven than my own."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"How fast Duchess is eating!" thought Ribby to herself, as she
+buttered her fifth muffin.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The pie-dish was emptying rapidly! Duchess had had four helps already,
+and was fumbling with the spoon. "A little more bacon, my dear
+Duchess?" said Ribby.
+
+"Thank you, my dear Ribby; I was only feeling for the patty-pan."
+
+[Illustration: WHERE IS THE PATTY-PAN?]
+
+"The patty-pan? my dear Duchess?"
+
+"The patty-pan that held up the pie-crust," said Duchess, blushing
+under her black coat.
+
+"Oh, I didn't put one in, my dear Duchess," said Ribby; "I don't think
+that it is necessary in pies made of mouse."
+
+Duchess fumbled with the spoon--"I can't find it!" she said anxiously.
+
+"There isn't a patty-pan," said Ribby, looking perplexed.
+
+"Yes, indeed, my dear Ribby; where can it have gone to?" said
+Duchess.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"There most certainly is not one, my dear Duchess. I disapprove of tin
+articles in puddings and pies. It is most undesirable--(especially
+when people swallow in lumps!)" she added in a lower voice.
+
+Duchess looked very much alarmed, and continued to scoop the inside
+of the pie-dish.
+
+"My Great-aunt Squintina (grandmother of Cousin Tabitha
+Twitchit)--died of a thimble in a Christmas plum-pudding. _I_ never
+put any article of metal in _my_ puddings or pies."
+
+Duchess looked aghast, and tilted up the pie-dish.
+
+"I have only four patty-pans, and they are all in the cupboard."
+
+Duchess set up a howl.
+
+"I shall die! I shall die! I have swallowed a patty-pan! Oh, my dear
+Ribby, I do feel so ill!"
+
+"It is impossible, my dear Duchess; there was not a patty-pan."
+
+Duchess moaned and whined and rocked herself about.
+
+"Oh I feel so dreadful, I have swallowed a patty-pan!"
+
+"There was _nothing_ in the pie," said Ribby severely.
+
+"Yes there _was_, my dear Ribby, I am sure I have swallowed it!"
+
+"Let me prop you up with a pillow, my dear Duchess; where do you think
+you feel it?"
+
+"Oh I do feel so ill _all over_ me, my dear Ribby; I have swallowed a
+large tin patty-pan with a sharp scalloped edge!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Shall I run for the doctor? I will just lock up the spoons!"
+
+"Oh yes, yes! fetch Dr. Maggotty, my dear Ribby: he is a Pie himself,
+he will certainly understand."
+
+Ribby settled Duchess in an armchair before the fire, and went out and
+hurried to the village to look for the doctor.
+
+She found him at the smithy.
+
+He was occupied in putting rusty nails into a bottle of ink, which he
+had obtained at the post office.
+
+"Gammon? ha! HA!" said he, with his head on one side.
+
+Ribby explained that her guest had swallowed a patty-pan.
+
+"Spinach? ha! HA!" said he, and accompanied her with alacrity.
+
+[Illustration: DR. MAGGOTTY'S MIXTURE]
+
+He hopped so fast that Ribby had to run. It was most conspicuous. All
+the village could see that Ribby was fetching the doctor.
+
+"I _knew_ they would over-eat themselves!" said Cousin Tabitha
+Twitchit.

+
+But while Ribby had been hunting for the doctor--a curious thing had
+happened to Duchess, who had been left by herself, sitting before the
+fire, sighing and groaning and feeling very unhappy.
+
+"How _could_ I have swallowed it! such a large thing as a patty-pan!"
+
+She got up and went to the table, and felt inside the pie-dish again
+with a spoon.
+
+"No; there is no patty-pan, and I put one in; and nobody has eaten pie
+except me, so I must have swallowed it!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+She sat down again, and stared mournfully at the grate. The fire
+crackled and danced, and something sizz-z-zled!
+
+Duchess started! She opened the door of the _top_ oven; out came a
+rich steamy flavour of veal and ham, and there stood a fine brown
+pie,--and through a hole in the top of the pie-crust there was a
+glimpse of a little tin patty-pan!
+
+Duchess drew a long breath--
+
+"Then I must have been eating MOUSE!... No wonder I feel ill.... But
+perhaps I should feel worse if I had really swallowed a patty-pan!"
+Duchess reflected--"What a very awkward thing to have to explain to
+Ribby! I think I will put _my_ pie in the back-yard and say nothing
+about it. When I go home, I will run round and take it away." She put
+it outside the back-door, and sat down again by the fire, and shut her
+eyes; when Ribby arrived with the doctor, she seemed fast asleep.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Gammon, ha, HA?" said the doctor.
+
+"I am feeling very much better," said Duchess, waking up with a jump.
+
+"I am truly glad to hear it! He has brought you a pill, my dear
+Duchess!"
+
+"I think I should feel _quite_ well if he only felt my pulse," said
+Duchess, backing away from the magpie, who sidled up with something in
+his beak.
+
+"It is only a bread pill, you had much better take it; drink a little
+milk, my dear Duchess!"
+
+"Gammon? Gammon?" said the doctor, while Duchess coughed and choked.
+
+"Don't say that again!" said Ribby, losing her temper--"Here, take
+this bread and jam, and get out into the yard!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Gammon and Spinach! ha ha HA!" shouted Dr. Maggotty triumphantly
+outside the back door.
+
+"I am feeling very much better my dear Ribby," said Duchess. "Do you
+not think that I had better go home before it gets dark?"
+
+"Perhaps it might be wise, my dear Duchess. I will lend you a nice
+warm shawl, and you shall take my arm."
+
+"I would not trouble you for worlds; I feel wonderfully better. One
+pill of Dr. Maggotty--"
+
+"Indeed it is most admirable, if it has cured you of a patty-pan! I
+will call directly after breakfast to ask how you have slept."
+
+Ribby and Duchess said goodbye affectionately, and Duchess started
+home. Half-way up the lane she stopped and looked back; Ribby had gone
+in and shut her door. Duchess slipped through the fence, and ran round
+to the back of Ribby's house, and peeped into the yard.
+
+Upon the roof of the pig-stye sat Dr. Maggotty and three jackdaws. The
+jackdaws were eating pie-crust, and the magpie was drinking gravy out
+of a patty-pan.
+
+"Gammon, ha, HA!" he shouted when he saw Duchess's little black nose
+peeping round the corner.
+
+Duchess ran home feeling uncommonly silly!
+
+When Ribby came out for a pailful of water to wash up the tea-things,
+she found a pink and white pie-dish lying smashed in the
+middle of the yard. The patty-pan was under the pump, where Dr.
+Maggotty had considerately left it.
+
+[Illustration: SO THERE REALLY _WAS_ A PATTY-PAN]
+
+Ribby stared with amazement--"Did you ever see the like! so there
+really _was_ a patty-pan?... But _my_ patty-pans are all in the
+kitchen cupboard. Well I never did!... Next time I want to give a
+party--I will invite Cousin Tabitha Twitchit!"

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
