THE CONCEITED PIG. 23
muttering on one leg in a corner of the
hen-house, and thinking how she should
be revenged, when she heard a low rap-
tap-tap at the door. She took no notice
of it at first, being too full of her own
troubles to attend to anything else ;
but very soon it was repeated, and on
her hobbling rather nearer to the door,
and turning her head a little on one side
to listen the better, she distinctly heard
her own name repeated two or three
times in a very low voice on the outside.
Miss Peck, though "all of a tremble,"
as she said herself afterwards, had suf-
ficient presence of mind just to look
up, and make sure that Cock-a-doodle
and all the others were asleep, before
she answered, in as sweet a tone as
possible.
