"It is one of Tarlequin's babies. Where did she get it?" "Why are Topsy's eyes so shiny, and why does she growl at me, mamma? I am afraid to touch her," said Alice. "She thinks that you are going to take the kitten away, little daughter; but it will never do to let her keep it. Tarlequin will miss it and, besides, we have no way of feeding it." Alice's mother began to talk softly to Topsy.
That was the last time that Topsy was ever lonely, for she lived in Tarlequin's barrel after that, and helped bring up Tarlequin's babies; and she took just as good care of them as their own mother did, too. She cuddled close to them when they were asleep so that they would not feel cold. Every day she licked their coats until they were smooth and shiny.
After a while she put her hand down and gently stroked the cat's face. Very soon Topsy allowed mamma to take both herself and the little kitten up in her arms. Then mamma carried them back to Tarlequin's barrel in the neighbor's wood shed. Tarlequin was at home this time. She seemed very glad to see her lost baby back again and called, "Meow! meow! meow!"
