He come home late nights, come in softly, oh, I hear him! I lay awake, 'n' got sharp ears, I hear the cats walkin' over the roofs, 'n' I hear Dick Venner, when he comes up in his stockin'-feet as still as a cat. I think he mean mischief to somebody.

Now, here was one of the most unique situations on record. "This is my cat," I said demandingly. "It is ours," said the chorus of children's voices.
Looking at the ground he held out his hand, crossed the palm of it with Bosinney's, and taking his umbrella just above the silk, walked away along the terrace. Before he turned the corner he glanced back, and saw Bosinney following him slowly 'slinking along the wall' as he put it to himself, 'like a great cat. He paid no attention when the young fellow raised his hat.
