Next morning the pretty young fox went off busily into the forest to get food for her grand husband. But the old tom-cat stayed at home, and cleaned his whiskers and slept. He was a lazy one, was that cat, and proud. The fox was running through the forest, looking for game, when she met an old friend, the handsome young wolf, and he began making polite speeches to her.
All this was meant to be as irritating as possible; but as he went out at the door he had the satisfaction to hear James' clear honest laugh mingling with the Vicar's, for, as George had closed the door, the Doctor had said, looking after him "Gott in Himmel, that young man has go a skull like a tom-cat." This complimentary observation was lost on Mary, who had left the room with George.
Now I am awake, for I am thine and mine; thou hast proclaimed to me that night is life and made a man of me. Consume my body with spiritual fire, that I may ethereally blend with thee, and then the bridal night may last forever. So late already? Why, I've come in the nick of time. About the play? I have just been speaking with the author; he is at the theatre and helping dress the tom-cat.
The champion of the blushing cheek and the gushing eye showed that he too could handle the weapons of the enemy if he cared to trouble himself with such things. Lucian leant back and roared with indecent laughter till the tabby tom-cat who had succeeded to the poor dead beasts looked up reproachfully from his sunny corner, with a face like the reviewer's, innocent and round and whiskered.
"Well, what's the good of anything while London and all these other big towns are sitting on the country's chest? England must have been a fine place once, though!" "Some of us think it a fine place still." "Of course it is, in a way. But anything new and keen gets sat on. England's like an old tom-cat by the fire: too jolly comfortable for anything!"
When he had finished, he stood for over a minute watching his master, and in his greenish eyes there was a look of contempt: After all, this master of his was an old buffer, who hadn't much left in him! Soft as a tom-cat, he crossed the room to press the bell. His orders were 'dinner at seven. What if his master were asleep; he would soon have him out of that; there was the night to sleep in!
While I was one day during my novitiate talking over articles and waiting for instructions or, rather, finding articles for my chiefs to write about, for that very soon became the routine a large, consequential, not to say stout black Tom-cat slowly entered the room, walked round me, sniffed at my legs in a suspicious manner, and then, to my intense amazement and amusement, hurled himself from the floor with some difficulty and alighted upon my shoulder.
"Is that the untamed Persian you were telling me of?" she asked, pointing to a cage from which a ferocious gigantic animal more like a woolly tiger than a tom-cat looked out with expressionless yellow eyes. "Will you let Mr. de Gex try to make friends with it?" "Your will is law, meine Konigin," replied Professor Papadopoulos, bowing low. "But Hephaestus is as fierce as the flames of hell."
"I didn't say a she-cat. It looked like a big tom-cat; but who knows that it was really a cat at all?" said Sam. "If it wasn't a tom-cat, what was it?" asked Bob Stout, a chum of Sam's. "Just what neither you nor I would like to meet if we had to go down into the hold alone," said Sam, in a mysterious tone. Just then the watch below was summoned on deck to shorten sail.
So were his, but beyond the feathers I could see his great curved talons, as he struck forward at the lynx. He evidently touched and wounded the animal, but the wound only served to make it more angry: and I could hear it purring and spitting like a tom-cat, only far louder.
