"So, let me get this straight." Cornelius said, rubbing a hand against his eyes. "Thumbelina – my Thumbelina – is getting married to a mole tonight!" He repeated, being more forceful with the last word.

The Jitterbugs nodded in unison. "Yes."

"And everyone in the Vale thinks I'm dead."

"Uh-huh."

"And there is a toad and a beetle after me and Thumbelina?"

"Yeah!" they cried out. "You've got to help her."

"Right." Cornelius groaned at his misfortune. "Do you know where the mole lives?"

"Uh…"

"I see." Cornelius sighed annoyed, once again wondering how Thumbelina managed to get herself into such situations.
