When Jinnie appeared five minutes later in the kitchen with a small kitten in her hand, Peg was stirring the mush for breakfast. "You hate the kitties, eh, Peg?" asked Jinnie. The two tense wrinkles at the corners of Mrs. Grandoken's mouth didn't relax by so much as a hair's line. "Hate 'em!" she snapped, "I should say I do! I hate every one of them cats, and I hate you, too!
"It's only Milly and " "Milly and what?" quizzically came the question. "Her kitties see?" She drew aside the towel and exposed the sleeping family. A broad smile lit up the man's face. "Oh, cats! I see! Where're you taking them?" "To Bellaire." "Ah, Bellaire; that's where I'm going. We'll have a nice ride together, almost two hours." "I'm glad." Jinnie leaned back, sighing contentedly.
"Yes, I know that part," spoke the bunny uncle. "It was not right to do, but I have found the two other lost kitties. I couldn't find you, though. Why was that?" "Because I met Mother Goose," said Wuzzo, "and she asked me to go to London to see the Queen. She took me through the air on the back of her big gander, and we flew as quickly as you could have gone in your airship."
Then she stretched way up on him and gave him her paw, which was very cunningly done. "This is a nice little girl who has come to see me," he said, as she seemed to look inquiringly at Hanny. "She's fond of everything, kitties especially." Kitty looked rather uncertain. Hanny was a little afraid of such a curious creature.
If you could see that horrid Victorian drawing-room at Miss Severance's you could stand even sticky kitties in a picture. I don't care about the interior decoration as long as Marky's little interior gets decorated decently. But this tea is simply terrible. Orange pekoe!
"One thing sure, she isn't afraid of two fellows like us," chuckled Jack. "Even our clubs have no terror for the mother of the kitties. Why, if we dared push on ahead she'd jump at us like a flash." "I certainly feel cheap, being held up like this by an ordinary cat," gritted the burly Steve between his teeth.
"Land bless ye, no!" cried the old man, with a shocked sincerity there was no doubting. "I never harmed any one in all my life. But I was feelin' so good over savin' ye that I had to have my little joke. I was out this mornin' as us'al, after meat for my cats. I have to work hard to keep 'em in meat, mister. I can't stand round and see my kitties starve no, s'r!
"I must pay you a shilling for selling them. It's what they call commission." "No, sir; I don't want any commission," said Ellen firmly. "As long as those kitties were there, I sold more butter and eggs and fowls than any one else in the market. I haven't had such a good day not ever before. And I'll be glad to sell as many kitties as you can bring me."
Poor little soul!" "I am very glad I did fall in," said Ellen; "for if I hadn't I shouldn't have come here, Mrs. Van Brunt." The old lady instantly kissed her. "Oh! mayn't I just take one look at the kitties?" said Ellen, when she was ready to go. "Indeed you shall," said Mrs. Van Brunt, "if 'Brahm's hurry was ever so much; and it ain't, besides. Come here, dear."
'Why, thin, ye murtherin' villins, will ye follow me into the smoke itself? said Andy, whirling his bush in the air to disperse their squadrons. 'I thought ye wor satisfied wid most atin' us last week, an' blindin' the young gintlemin, an' lavin' lumps on their faces as big as hazel nuts. Betune yerselves an' the miss kitties, it's hard for a man to do a sthroke of work, wid huntin' ye.
