"It appears to me," one said, "that they seem to pick out your choicest plants to scratch out of the ground." "There's a big tomcat," the other said, "that fetches my plants out and then sits and actually defies me." "Why don't you hurl a brick at him?" asked the first speaker. "That's what makes me mad," was the reply. "I can't. He gets on top of my greenhouse to defy me."
"They may have attempted something of the sort in Nichols' time, but it isn't in their nature." Sebright said that was practically Castro's opinion, too except that Castro had emphasized his remarks by spitting all the time, "like an old tomcat. He seems a very spiteful man, with no great love for you, Mr. Kemp. Do you think it safe to have him about you? What are all these grievances of his?"
They would be as useful as any other royal family, they would know as much, they would have the same virtues and the same treacheries, the same disposition to get up shindies with other royal cats, they would be laughably vain and absurd and never know it, they would be wholly inexpensive; finally, they would have as sound a divine right as any other royal house, and "Tom VII, or Tom XI, or Tom XIV by the grace of God King," would sound as well as it would when applied to the ordinary royal tomcat with tights on.
"I shall get through," said the friar, "on my beard, and where that goes I can follow as easily as a tomcat his head. But I have a trick of bending the knees which will serve me for some hundreds of yards and if you suppose that I can't snivel you are very much mistaken. Listen to this." He hung his head, looked earnestly at the ground: then he sniffed. Sniffed, do I say?
Later on, this disappears like the playfulness of the kitten, and all this grace ends, with the bourgeois, on two legs, and with the tomcat, on four paws.
There in terror the maiden awaited his arrival, but great was the joy of herself and her parents when they knew that the Tomcat was no more. "Oh, sir," cried the maiden, "I can never thank you! I am the only child of my parents, and no one would have been left to care for them if I had been the monster's victim." "Do not thank me," answered the lad. "Thank the brave Shippeitaro.
We must not forget your kittens, Jacobina; you have four left they must be provided for. Why not a cat's children as well as a courtier's? I have got you a comfortable home, Jacobina take care of yourself, and don't fall in love with every Tomcat in the place. Be sober, and lead a single life till my return.
Vick is either in hot pursuit of, or hot flight from, the tomcat; all her four legs are quivering and kicking in a mimic gallop. "Do you remember," say I, again speaking, and again prefacing my words by an uneasy laugh, "how the boys at home used always to laugh at me, because I never knew how to flirt, nor had any pretty ways?
Cheshire cats the kind that grinned out of vacuous minds and that never could speak to a woman without grinning; the unattached men at the boarding house invariably were of the Cheshire-cat cats. Tomcats the beastly ones with lecherous eyes that looked at you. "Of course they're beasts." It had been a large experience of the tomcat cats that had made her add that final summary of men to Keggo.
He was a good preacher, too, but somehow people didn't care for his appearance. He was too dark and sleek." "He looked exactly like a great black tomcat, that he did, Mrs. Dr. dear," said Susan. "I never could abide such a man in the pulpit every Sunday." "Then Mr. Rogers came and he was like a chip in porridge neither harm nor good," resumed Miss Cornelia.
