"Well, if I see a mouse around here I hope you'll lend me Bibsy." "I will." Jerry sensed that Mr. Bullfinch thought it was time for him to be leaving. And Jerry was about to when a woman screamed loud as a fire siren. "My wife!" cried Mr. Bullfinch and rushed toward the back of the house, Jerry following him. Out in the kitchen, standing on a high stool, was Mrs. Bullfinch.
Would it be too much of an imposition for me to ask you to keep the parrot over here until Monday?" he asked. "Not at all," said Mr. Martin heartily. "I'm not sure we could trust Bibsy to let the parrot alone. You know how it is with birds and cats, Mr. Bullfinch," said Mrs. Martin.

"Just a cat named Bibsy because she has a white front. Like a bib, you know."
To say nothing of your ears." Jerry swushed dirt off a step and changed the subject. "Have you fooled anybody yet this morning?" he asked. "Just Andy. I asked him if he knew that Bibsy had grown another head during the night, and he almost cried when he found I was April-fooling him. He said he had always wanted a two-headed cat.
