OF RUBATO'S CAT.

NOW YOU MAY ENTER,

A BETTER WORD FOR
FIDDLE, IN THIS CASE,
IS VIOLIN.
BUT I KNOW THAT.
BUT FIDDLE
RHYMES WITH RIDDLE.
OH, FIDDLE DIDDLE.
AND BY THE BY,
TO LEARN WHAT HAPPENED
INSIDE THE HOUSE,
WHY DON'T YOU
ASK METER THE MOUSE?
I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU HAD
MORE SUCCESS THAN I.
I WOULD'VE
BEEN HERE SOONER,
BUT I GOT CAUGHT
IN A RIDDLE.
BUT DID YOU FIND
ANYTHING, ANNABELLA?
OH, MY, ME? NO.
BUT DOORKNOCKER SAID
METER THE MOUSE
MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING.
WELL?
WELL, IT
WAS LIKE THIS.
AS YOU KNOW IT'S MY JOB
TO ANNOUNCE THE TIME.
THE HOUR WAS VERY LATE,
ALMOST 1:00.

AT THAT HOUR WE TRY TO
KEEP IT SOMEWHAT QUIET
BECAUSE EVERYONE'S
ASLEEP, OF COURSE, AND--
NOW, NOW,

PLEASE GET
TO THE POINT.
WELL, THEN,
THE POINT IS,
WHEN I GOT TO THE GONG,
IT WAS GONE.
AND?
AND SOMEBODY TRIED TO
CLIMB THE MUSICAL STAIRS,
BUT I SCARED THEM AWAY.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL US THIS BEFORE?
WELL, NOBODY ASKED.
OH, MY.
IT'S HOPELESS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
JUST LIVE IT UP.
NO, I MEAN--
WE CAN'T GIVE IT UP
NOW, AUNTY A.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CLUES.
THE BOOKCASE WAS
TRYING TO TELL ME
SOMETHING
ABOUT A BAND.
WELL, THERE WEREN'T ANY CLUES
IN THE DINING ROOM.
NO CLUES
OUTSIDE, EITHER.
AND DOORKNOCKER SAID
NO ONE CAME THROUGH

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

PLAYED SOME NOTES.

AND RUEBEN AND RACHEL
SAID
SOMEONE FELL
DOWN THE STAIRS, TOO.
RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY,
WHOEVER IT WAS
WANTED TO GO
