Next instant there was a yowl of dismay and the adored gift of Lucille fell several feet away from the bench. "Harry! I think that is dreadful!" exclaimed Pauline, springing to her feet. "I do, too," he answered. "That was why I threw it off the bench." "To treat a poor innocent dumb creature like that!" "Polly! You don't mean it, do you? You think I hurt him?" "You've-hurt-his-feelings."
"And I knew that I was mewing! "I threw myself back in my chair and mewed with all my heart. Oh, that heavy load which was lifted from my breast! How good, how satisfying it was to mew!
