The act over, the cat turned and snarled and only jumped into its cage after a smart flick of the whip. The dwarf did not touch it once with his hands. I applauded, however, and complimented him. He laid his hand on his heart and bent forward in humility. "Ah, monsieur, I am but a neophyte where Madame is an expert. I know the superficial nature of cats.
