I am baking it in a pie-dish—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!" wrote +Ribby.</p> + +<p>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>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>"I will come very punctually, my dear Ribby," wrote Duchess; and then +at the end she added—"I hope it isn't mouse?"</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 "isn't mouse" and changed it to "I hope it will be fine," 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>"I am dreadfully afraid it <i>will</i> be mouse!" said Duchess to +herself—"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."</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>"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!"</p> + +<p>Duchess considered and considered and read Ribby's letter again—</p> + +<p>"A pink and white pie-dish—and <i>you</i> shall eat it <i>all</i>. '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!

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>"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.

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"> +<img src="images/pie21.gif" width="442" height="269" +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—she simply +ran! Straight away to Ribby's house!</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie24.gif"> +<img src="images/pie24.gif" width="442" height="315" +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—</p> + +<p>"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!" 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>"I trust that is not that Pie: the spoons are locked up, however," +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>"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," 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!"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie29.gif"> +<img src="images/pie29.gif" width="441" height="314" +alt="Dutchess grooms for her social visit" +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—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.</p> + +<p>She put on a lilac silk gown, for the party, and an embroidered muslin +apron and tippet.</p> + +<p>"It is very strange," said Ribby, "I did not <i>think</i> I left that +drawer pulled out; has somebody been trying on my mittens?"</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. "I am glad I +used the <i>bottom</i> 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?"</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>"I wonder if Ribby has taken <i>my</i> pie out of the oven yet?" said +Duchess, "and whatever can have become of the other pie made of +mouse?"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie33.gif"> +<img src="images/pie33.gif" width="445" height="276" +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. "Is Mrs. Ribston at home?" inquired Duchess in the porch.</p> + +<p>"Come in! and how do you do, my dear Duchess?" cried Ribby. "I hope I +see you well?"</p> + +<p>"Quite well, I thank you, and how do <i>you</i> do, my dear Ribby?" said +Duchess. "I've brought you some flowers; what a delicious smell of +pie!"</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>"Oh, what lovely flowers! Yes, it is mouse and bacon!"</p> + +<p>"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?"</p> + +<p>"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?"</p> + +<p>"Oh yes, please! my dear Ribby; and may I have a lump upon my nose?"</p> + +<p>"With pleasure, my dear Duchess; how beautifully you beg! Oh, how +sweetly pretty!"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie37.gif"> +<img src="images/pie37.gif" width="483" height="355" +alt="Dutchess balances a lump of sugar on her nose!" +title="Dutchess balances a lump of sugar on her nose!" /> +</a></p> + +<p>Duchess sat up with the sugar on her nose and sniffed—</p> + +<p>"How good that pie smells! I do love veal and ham—I mean to say mouse +and bacon—"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie38.gif"> +<img src="images/pie38.gif" width="496" height="300" +alt="Dutchess is distracted as the mouse pie is taken from the oven" +title="Dutchess is distracted as the mouse pie is taken from the oven" /> +</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>"I will first cut the pie for you; I am going to have muffin and +marmalade," said Ribby.</p> + +<p>"Do you really prefer muffin? Mind the patty-pan!"</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie39.gif"> +<img src="images/pie39.gif" width="491" height="272" +alt="Seated at the table" title="Seated at the table" /> +</a></p> + +<p>"I beg your pardon?" said Ribby.</p> + +<p>"May I pass you the marmalade?" said Duchess hurriedly.</p> + +<p>The pie proved extremely toothsome, and the muffins light and hot. +They disappeared rapidly, especially the pie!</p> + +<p>"I think"—(thought the Duchess to herself)—"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."</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie41a.gif"> +<img src="images/pie41a.gif" width="293" height="267" +alt="Dutches wolfs down the pie" title="Dutches wolfs down the pie" /> +</a></p> + +<p>"How fast Duchess is eating!" thought Ribby to herself, as she +buttered her fifth muffin.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie41b.gif"> +<img src="images/pie41b.gif" width="325" height="280" +alt="Kitty eats muffins with her tea" title="Kitty eats muffins with her tea" /> +</a></p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>"Thank you, my dear Ribby; I was only feeling for the patty-pan."</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie42.jpg"> +<img src="images/pie42.jpg" width="375" height="500" +alt="WHERE IS THE PATTY-PAN?" title="WHERE IS THE PATTY-PAN?" /> +</a></p> + +<p>"The patty-pan? my dear Duchess?"</p> + +<p>"The patty-pan that held up the pie-crust," said Duchess, blushing +under her black coat.</p> + +<p>"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."</p> + +<p>Duchess fumbled with the spoon—"I can't find it!" she said anxiously.</p> + +<p>"There isn't a patty-pan," said Ribby, looking perplexed.</p> + +<p>"Yes, indeed, my dear Ribby; where can it have gone to?" said +Duchess.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie44.gif"> +<img src="images/pie44.gif" width="385" height="282" +alt="Ribby talks to Dutchess about pies" title="Ribby talks to Dutchess about pies" /> +</a></p> + +<p>"There most certainly is not one, my dear Duchess.

I will just lock up the spoons!"</p> + +<p>"Oh yes, yes! fetch Dr. Maggotty, my dear Ribby: he is a Pie himself, +he will certainly understand."</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>"Gammon? ha! HA!" said he, with his head on one side.</p> + +<p>Ribby explained that her guest had swallowed a patty-pan.</p> + +<p>"Spinach? ha! HA!" said he, and accompanied her with alacrity.</p> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie49.jpg"> +<img src="images/pie49.jpg" width="470" height="500" +alt="DR. MAGGOTTY'S MIXTURE" title="DR.

All +the village could see that Ribby was fetching the doctor.</p> + +<p>"I <i>knew</i> they would over-eat themselves!" 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—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>"How <i>could</i> I have swallowed it! such a large thing as a patty-pan!"</p> + +<p>She got up and went to the table, and felt inside the pie-dish again +with a spoon.</p> + +<p>"No; there is no patty-pan, and I put one in; and nobody has eaten pie +except me, so I must have swallowed it!"</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,—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—</p> + +<p>"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 <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." 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> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie54.gif"> +<img src="images/pie54.gif" width="342" height="364" +alt="Dutchess hides her pie" title="Dutchess hides her pie" /> +</a></p> + +<p>"Gammon, ha, HA?" said the doctor.</p> + +<p>"I am feeling very much better," said Duchess, waking up with a jump.</p> + +<p>"I am truly glad to hear it! He has brought you a pill, my dear +Duchess!"</p> + +<p>"I think I should feel <i>quite</i> well if he only felt my pulse," said +Duchess, backing away from the magpie, who sidled up with something in +his beak.</p> + +<p>"It is only a bread pill, you had much better take it; drink a little +milk, my dear Duchess!"</p> + +<p>"Gammon? Gammon?" said the doctor, while Duchess coughed and choked.</p> + +<p>"Don't say that again!" said Ribby, losing her temper—"Here, take +this bread and jam, and get out into the yard!"</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>"Gammon and Spinach! ha ha HA!" shouted Dr. Maggotty triumphantly +outside the back door.</p> + +<p>"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?"</p> + +<p>"Perhaps it might be wise, my dear Duchess. I will lend you a nice +warm shawl, and you shall take my arm."</p> + +<p>"I would not trouble you for worlds; I feel wonderfully better. One +pill of Dr. Maggotty—"</p> + +<p>"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."</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>"Gammon, ha, HA!" 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> + +<p class="figcenter"><a href="images/pie59.jpg"> +<img src="images/pie59.jpg" width="366" height="500" +alt="SO THERE REALLY _WAS_ A PATTY-PAN" +title="SO THERE REALLY _WAS_ A PATTY-PAN" /> +</a></p> + +<p>Ribby stared with amazement—"Did you ever see the like! so there +really <i>was</i> a patty-pan?...

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 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/15234-h/images/pie08.jpg b/15234-h/images/pie08.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

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. + +[Illustration] + +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!" + +[Illustration] + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Tale of the Pie and the Patty Pan +by Beatrix Potter + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PIE AND THE PATTY PAN *** + +***** This file should be named 15234.txt or 15234.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/5/2/3/15234/ + +Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Ronald Holder and the PG Online +Distributed Proofreading Team + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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 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. diff --git a/15234.zip b/15234.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..35c207a --- /dev/null +++ b/15234.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
