The Tale of Despereaux Chapter 33 Summary

A Rat Who Knows Her Name

  • As Mig climbs up the stairs to return to the kitchen, Roscuro stops her and tells her to wait. He tells her that he wants to talk.
  • The weird thing is that Roscuro's voice is perfectly pitched so that Mig can hear every single word clearly—even with her damaged hearing.
  • He tells her that he knows her name, and that he's heard she has aspirations to be a princess. Well, Roscuro has a plan that can make that happen.
  • Mig's hooked; she sits down and listens to his plan. Neither of them notice the napkin on the tray that moves and makes mouselike noises of outrage.
  • Despereaux, is that you?
