"And I knew that I was mewing! "I threw myself back in my chair and mewed with all my heart. Oh, that heavy load which was lifted from my breast! How good, how satisfying it was to mew! And how I did miaul and yowl! "I gave myself up to it, heart and soul; my whole being thrilled with the passionate outpourings of a spirit freed.
"We had just passed Cape Finisterre, when Jim, the cabin-boy says one morning, `I'm blessed if I didn't hear that cat last night, or the ghost on it! So we laughed at him; for, you see, he slept abaft, just outside the cabin door, close to the pantry, and not forward with the rest of us. "`Well, says he, `I heard her miaul, and when I awoke I think I seed two eyes looking at me.
Good people, let us peak and pine, Cut tristful mugs, and miaul and whine Thorough our nosen chaunts divine, never, never, never. Ye might as well go through Lorraine crying, Mulleygrubs, Mulleygrubs, who'll buy my Mulleygrubs! So we fared on, bad friends. But I took a thought, and prayed him hum me one of his naughty ditties again.

Serve at the usual hour; and let Abigail ring the Refectory bell. I am otherwise employed. And remember. Reverend Mother is on no account to be disturbed."
No sooner had they turned than a cat pursued by a dog rushed into the bushes and collided with me. The startled animal uttered a 'miaul' of alarm and darted back again, making a horrible rustling. Both men stopped at once. But it was only the cat, as they doubtless observed, and they passed out of the garden gate into the town. I looked at my watch. An hour had passed since I climbed the wall.
