The Dutchess and Miss Moussie rushed to the kitchen...there they listened carefully..the knocking continued...
Its coming from the Cabinet....squeaked Miss Moussie...maybe a lost moussie is in there and can't get out...lets open the Cabinet and see..
Very slowly the Dutchess opened the big Cabinet...the doors squeaked..they sounded a bit like a noise Miss Mousie sometimes makes when you tickle her..
Cups and saucers..pots and pans..napkins and tablecloths...a thee pot ..a sugar bowl..a cookie jar..Well...twittered Miss Moussie,I don't see anything that could be suspicious..
But there is..there is ...said a little voice coming from the cuckoo clock..
Its in a secret place...you have to look again...
It was our little Gnome..sitting in the clock,next to the cuckoo,looking down..
-A secret hiding place you say...then I think I know what to do...said the Dutchess whilst pulling up a chair very close to the Cabinet...
-Do you need to sit down dearest..squeaked Miss Moussie ..are you not feeling well..
-I am fine Miss M...said the Dutchess,now standing on the chair...and don't be scared now..hold on to your whiskers...I am going to open the secret drawer..
She pulled and pulled...the drawer didn't open..it was stuck..the knocking now got even louder...
O my Goodness...twittered miss Moussie..what's in that drawer..better let it stay there..
The Dutchess pulled again...and then, tumbled down from the chair holding the drawer in her hand...
Timber...shouted the Gnome in the clock...an avalanche...
Miss Moussie and the Dutchess took a dive under the kitchen table ,holding on to each other..
-Its the Alphabet..twittered Miss Moussie..I saw it..it fell out of the drawer..I almost got hit by a B...how marvelous..Dearest,do you think its safe to come out now..
Then they heard the little Gnome yelling...come out come out where ever you are...we got company..
The Dutchess lifted miss Moussie up and placed the little mouse on her shoulder..sitting on the ground they both looked up to the ceiling and this is what they saw..
THANK YU
The letters were making words...a welcome message
LETS HUG
Twentyfour letters swooped down and twirled around the Dutchess and the Mouse...It was like they were sitting in a whirlwind....like there was a troupe of birdies circling there heads...You could here the twitter of Miss Moussie...squeaking something like..O dear..and, O Goodness me.....
Then...Suddenly, the letters flew up to the ceiling again..
HI FRUG
-What ever could they mean by that..said Miss Moussie...whats a FRUG..
-Don't forget whispered the Dutchess in Miss Moussies ear...there are two letters missing...
A familiar croak sounded through the kitchen...
-The Name Is Gustave...croaked Gustave who just came in.....and I am FROG...
LETS HUG
Said the Alphabet...and they all swooped down on poor Gustave who completely disappeared under a pile of 24 hugs....

Dear Dutchess,
Good to have you back. I myself have been away of sorts, ridiculously busy with school work, and only recently posted on my own blog. I love your adventures. And you have a real artistic gift. Your gnome and frog are FANTASTIC. I think what I like best about your ongoing story is that it always makes me laugh because I can see what crazy things you and your friends get into. Loved the clever way you used the loss of letters.
Have the happiest Christmas.
Rattus
