91. Tiger softens his Voice.

Jekyll, 108-113, Leah and Tiger, tells the story. In my number 17 a, it is the mother who is hidden away. In Bahama versions, Parsons, 35-39, the plot turns upon the rescue of the lost girl through song rather than, as in Jamaica, upon the voice-changing trick by which she is stolen.
