"I voted against it that night at the town meeting, but I guess nobody heard me." "Well," said Simeon, "and so here you've got a Christmas of your own going forward, neat as a kitten's foot " "Ain't you coming over to Mary Chavah's?" Abel broke in with a kind of gentleness. "All of you?" Ellen smote her hands together. "I meant to go over later," she said, "and take " She paused.
As the milk disappeared, the dog in his delight, moved closer, but the frightened animal humped up its back, fuzzed its thin tail and spit at him. Of course, it did not know that Jan had saved its life, or that he did not want to hurt it, now. He moved away and sat down quietly to watch it. The saucer was filled with milk a second time, and the kitten's tongue lapped as fast as it could go.
And he muttered: "How do you think he would like to know about this afternoon, Nell?" "I don't care." Then peering up through the kitten's fur she murmured: "Oliver wants me to go to a dance on Saturday it's for a charity. Shall I?" "Of course; why not?" "Will YOU come?" "Oh, do! You must! It's my very first, you know. I've got an extra ticket."
It was warm and nice; just the very place for a kitten's first look at the world, and there were no troublesome people about; not but what she was anxious to show her kitten to Baby Akbar. But who knew if horrid Head-nurse might not try to catch it? But Head-nurse was asleep. Down whisked her tail, disappeared through the archway, and reappeared again gingerly, carrying the kitten in her mouth.
It was little marvel that the bright, bold, insolent little Friend of the Flag had nothing of her sex left save a kitten's mischief and a coquette's archness.
The advocates of this theory attempt to meet these objections by saying that the imitative instinct accounts for the particular directions in which the discharges of energy occur. A kitten's plays are like those of the cat tribe because the kitten is accustomed to imitate cats; when it falls to playing it is with cats, and so it sheds its superfluous energies in the customary imitative channels.
It was scarcely dawn when I was roused by a little arm round my neck, and waked to think I had one of Raphael's cherubs by my side. Fingers of waxen softness were ruthlessly at work upon my eyes, and the little form that met my touch felt lithe and elastic, like a kitten's limbs.
Everything in them had to be pink, from the little girl's dress to the bow on her kitten's neck. Her slippahs, parasol, flowahs in the garden, papah on the wall, icing on the cake, everything had to be pink." "What a funny little creature you must have been," laughed Gay, secretly making note of Lloyd's favourite colour, and resolving to change the names on two packages laid away in her trunk.
Miss Emily had, however, a feminine resource: she began to cry wisely confining herself to the simple eloquence of tears and sobs. Mr. Sewell sat as awkwardly as if he had trodden on a kitten's toe, or brushed down a china cup, feeling as if he were a great, horrid, clumsy boor, and his poor little sister a martyr. "Come, Emily," he said, in a softer tone, when the sobs subsided a little.
She was introduced to him, indeed, on the night of her arrival though fortunately not at table: William had seen to it that Spunk did not appear at dinner, though to accomplish this the man had been obliged to face the amazed and grieved indignation of the kitten's mistress. "But I don't see how any one CAN object to a nice clean little cat at the table," Billy had remonstrated tearfully.
