Plot Summary

Warning: The following may contain plot or ending details.

Little Charles is once again left with a babysitter while his social-elite parents head out to another fancy party. Feeling sorry for the little boy, the babysitter picks him up to comfort him. Charles sees a shiny locket around her neck and grabs for it, missing and grabbing her chest instead. Knowing it was an innocent mistake, she laughs and says, "You're a feisty one, aren't you, Tiger?" (using her nickname for him).

Charles replies with a child's tiger-growl saying, "Grrr...feisty!"
