"Libertine?" Ladislaw paced around the room. He noticed all of Casaubon's books had gone and how the mice typed with such #verve, barely a quiver of recognition of him in their whiskers. Their ears turning like satellite dishes, picking up distant signals ready to be decoded and reported.

But he pulled her toward a door. "Let's go in the library, I need to talk to you in private..."

"Oh, but Ladislaw..."

He stood and stared aghast at rows of seated mice, clattering and chattering away on a rattle of typewriters.

"...it's no longer our library. It's now our #Libertine!"

Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet.

They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

Toad hides under his covers and Frog hides in the closet.
