Her motive is the rescue of Willow, the unfortunate harem girl, and the pathetic page boy from being trampled to smithereens--as is the custom for the slightest offense to the Ranee.

(Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society) is as fearless and determined as she is elegant and cunning.
Miss Bianca in the Salt Mines (The Rescuers, #4)
by Margery SharpBernard found the note inside the saltcellar--a beautiful early Georgian silver one.

(Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society), Miss Bianca called for volunteers. Preparations for the rescue would commence at once and be carried out even if Miss Bianca must make the journey alone. Bernard volunteered immediately, of course, but to their dismay, so did the crusty old Professor of Mathematics, later to be joined by the equally wobbly and disagreeable Professor of Geology. "Well, it's certainly going to be a rum rescue party," said Bernard grimly, "with half of it barely able to stand on its feet!" PIctures are described.
