Letters from a Cat
·
Helen Hunt Jackson
15
Such
a
noise
I
never
heard:
all
the
things
were
being
moved;
and
in
a
few
minutes,
what
do
you
think--out
came
the
whole
carpet
right
on
my
head!
I
was
nearly
stifled
with
dust,
and
felt
as
if
every
bone
in
my
body
must
be
broken;
but
I
managed
to
creep
out
from
under
it,
and
heard
Mary
say,
"If
there
isn't
that
torment
of
a
cat
again!
I
wish
to
goodness
Helen
had
taken
her
along!"
Then
I
felt
surer
than
ever
that
some
mischief
was
on
foot:
and
ran
out
into
the
garden,
and
climbed
up
the
old
apple-tree
at
the
foot
of
the
steps,
and
crawled
out
on
a
branch,
from
which
I
could
look
directly
into
the
parlor
windows.
Oh!
my
dear
Helen,
you
can
fancy
how
I
felt,
to
see
all
the
chairs
and
tables
and
bookshelves
in
a
pile
in
the
middle
of
the
floor,
the
books
all
packed
in
big
baskets,
and
Mary
taking
out
window
after
window
as
fast
as
she
could.
I
forgot
to
tell
you
that
your
mother
went
away
last
night.
I
think
she
has
gone
to
Hadley
to
make
a
visit,
and
it
looks
to
me
very
much
as
if
Mary
meant
to
run
away
with
every
thing
which
could
be
moved,
before
she
comes
back.
After
awhile
that
ugly
Irishwoman,
who
lives
in
Mr.
Slater's
house,
came
into
the
back
gate:
you
know
the
one
I
mean,--the
one
that
threw
cold
water
on
me
last
spring.
