M. de Boze presented me to M. de Reaumur, his friend, who came to dine with him every Friday, the day on which the Academy of Sciences met. He mentioned to him my project, and the desire I had of having it examined by the academy. M. de Reaumur consented to make the proposal, and his offer was accepted.
The old hound would have stuck to it longer if Sam the hired man had been around somewhere, hiding behind the bushes with his thundering fire-stick. Old Boze wasn't afraid of the fire-stick. He liked to hear it roar, and see the poor rabbits fall before its deadly breath. Well, after a while he gave it up and came back to the house.
As for me, I held my breath, wondering what coup Madame was meditating. "Mr. Ritchie brought down from Kentucky a miniature of me by Boze, that was painted in a costume I once wore at Chantilly."

"All right," said Old Boze, "if you're fond of the company of a sneaking, mouse-eating, old tabby. I'm not.
Would you like to see how I can fool him?" "I would indeed," said little Luke, "if you are not afraid. Old Boze is a wise, old hound, and he may catch you." "Oh, I'm not afraid of that," said Mother Wa-poose. "You just sit here where you can see, and I'll go down there and give Old Boze the time of his life.

And if it wasn't for the men with their dreadful fire-sticks, we of the Wa-poose family would have a pretty safe and easy time of it." Just then the deep bay of a hound was heard.
