Today is Friday.

The mouse council met at the room just underneath the king's throne room. Despereaux's father told the twelve members of the council that Despereaux had sat at the foot of the king and his head had been touched by the princess. They were shocked by what the small mouse had done. His behavior totally was out of the rules of mouse community. They decided to put Despereaux into the dungeon to be with rats. Although the father Lester didn't like Despereaux's intimate relationship with humans, he didn't want his son to be put into the dungeon. But he could do nothing to prevent Despereaux from being punished. He cried for his perfidy. Despereaux's brother Furlough was sent to collect him. When he was found, he was just reading the story book in the library. When Despereaux heard the mouse council had wanted to see him, he was just thinking of the princess. He didn't care about the mouse council's command. The only thing he cared about was his lover, the princess.
