His education was carried on with such success that he could soon speak a few words very clearly. Strangers used to be rather startled by a weird-looking bird flying in from the garden, and saying, "Beauty dear, puss, puss, miaow!" But it was still more strange to see Dick sitting on the cat's back and addressing his endearments to her in the above words.

One morning I heard his first articulate word, "Beauty," spoken so clearly it quite startled me. I had been diligently teaching him, by constant repetition, for many weeks, and by degrees he gained the power of speaking one word after another, till at last he was able to say, "Little beauty," "'Ow de doo?" "Pretty, pretty," "Beauty, dear," "Puss, puss," "Miaow," and imitated kissing exactly.

"Your mother will bless me for letting you stop awake all night," said Constance. She sat up, wrapped a white robe about her and stuck her feet into slippers. Upon the music came the sudden unearthly miaow of a cat. The noise sounded directly in the room and all three girls jumped. Constance laughed again. "I might have known Max did not come into that passage for nothing," she sighed.

D'ye mind that I mean, look ye well to it!" "What should they know of England who only England know?" said Miaow. "Is that a conundrum?" asked the Moo Kow. "No; it's poetry," said the Miaow. "I know England," said Pi Bol prancingly. "I used to go from the Bank to Islington three times a day I mean," he added hurriedly, "before I became a screw I should say, a screw-gun horse."

The three soldiers seated themselves in the pool. "They are going to tell awful war stories now," said the Moo Kow, "stories that are large and strong! Some people are shocked others like 'em." Then he that was called Mulledwiney told a story. In the middle of it Miaow got up from the limb of the tree, coughed slightly, and put her paw delicately over her mouth.

They arise, and from their windows they offer me their priceless household treasures the sacred vessels dedicated to their great god Shiv which they call 'Shivin Mugs' the Kloes Brosh, the Boo-jak, urging me to fly them! And yet," said Miaow mournfully, "it is but my love-song! Think ye what they would do if I were on the war-path." Another dead silence fell on the pool.

Anne resigned herself to his company until she reached the gate of Patty's Place, which she coldly shut in his face, fondly supposing she had seen the last of him. But when, fifteen minutes later, Phil opened the door, there sat the rusty-brown cat on the step. More, he promptly darted in and sprang upon Anne's lap with a half-pleading, half-triumphant "miaow."

"Why do you say 'ye'?" said the Gee Gees together. "Because it's more impressive than 'you. Don't you know that all animals talk that way in English?" said the Moo Kow. "And they also say 'thou, and don't you forget it!" interrupted Miaow from the tree. "I learnt that from a Man Cub." The animals were silent.

"Glad to see you about again; you must take care of yourself." "How the young folk shoot up, don't they?" Strings of stupid, inevitable perfunctory remarks came to his mind, remarks that were certainly not the mental exchange of human intelligences, but mere empty parrot-talk. One might really just as well salute one's acquaintances with "Pretty polly. Puss, puss, miaow!"

A peacock perched high in the feathery top of a giant sal tree was crying "miaow, miaow!" to the dipping sun when, in the centre of the Bagree camp the blacksmith, sitting on his haunches in front of a charcoal fire in which nested the iron cannon ball, fanned the flames with his pair of goat-skin hand-bellows.
