The Tale of Despereaux Chapter 9 Summary

The Right Question

  • Furlough goes to look for Despereaux and finds him in the library, reading a book. This just supports his belief that his brother is most decidedly strange and not a normal mouse at all.
  • When Furlough tells Despereaux that he has to come to the Mouse Council, Despereaux just wants to talk about true love, and how he's fallen in love with Princess Pea. How odd.
  • Annoyed, Furlough drags him out of the library while Despereaux dreamily thinks of the princess and how much he loves her.
