At his first words the kitten raised its head and regarded him with yellow eyes gleaming through the dusk, in unconcealed antagonism. But, at the soft, purring flattery of his voice, the gleam softened to a glow of pleased interest, and the little creature rose lazily, stretched itself, and tripped lightly over to him, its tail erect in optimistic confidence.
But, after a fashion, I made answer: "We'll hand the scoundrel over to the law, I suppose, and take the Princess " "That's just it," he interrupted me. "Take her where? That's the point I want to make." His voice was almost purring now a sign with him of deadly earnestness. He was continuing: "Suppose she has a perfectly good home where she is!
From behind the pollard her cat jumped on to the path: it had come to the field to meet her and, purring cosily, was now arching its back and loitering between Zalia's legs until she stroked it; then it ran home before her with great bounds. The goat, hearing steps approach, put its head over the stable-door and began to bleat.
With a hasty glance about to see that he was not observed, he pushed up the window and clambered in, closing it cautiously after him.

There was a window at his bed's head, and he reached over and drew the curtain. The view gave upon the avenue of cottonwoods and the circular carriage approach.
By four o'clock in the afternoon most of the cottage windows were lit up, and the glow of the oil lamps shining through tiny panes on to the gleaming carpet of snow without, produced a most picturesque effect. Now we were purring up the hilly drive; then rounding the sweep to the hall door. The man did not have to ring.

The ride from the hills, three hours of storm and squirting gravel, had been made with the persistent whir and drone of a speeding engine. But once had it rested black and silent in a lonely road of dripping trees, while the driver hurried into a roadside tavern and telephoned. Now, with a purring sigh as a bridge loomed ahead, the car slackened and stopped. Carl slowly lighted a cigarette.
