Jap
was
very
proud
to
be
an
exhibitor;
but
he
had
all
a
Cockney's
reverence
for
the
upper
class,
and
when
on
the
opening
day
he
went
to
the
door,
he
was
overpowered
to
see
the
array
of
carriages
and
silk
hats.
The
gate-man
looked
at
him
sharply,
but
passed
him
on
his
ticket,
doubtless
taking
him
for
stable-boy
to
some
exhibitor.
The
hall
had
velvet
carpets
before
the
long
rows
of
cages.
Jap,
in
his
small
cunning,
was
sneaking
down
the
side
rows,
glancing
at
the
Cats
of
all
kinds,
noting
the
blue
ribbons
and
the
reds,
peering
about
but
not
daring
to
ask
for
his
own
exhibit,
inly
trembling
to
think
what
the
gorgeous
gathering
of
fashion
would
say
if
they
discovered
the
trick
he
was
playing
on
them.
He
had
passed
all
around
the
outer
aisles
and
seen
many
prize-winners,
but
no
sign
of
Slum
Kitty.
The
inner
aisles
were
more
crowded.
He
picked
his
way
down
them,
but
still
no
Kitty,
and
he
decided
that
it
was
a
mistake;
the
judges
had
rejected
the
Cat
later.
Never
mind;
he
had
his
exhibitor's
ticket,
and
now
knew
where
several
valuable
Persians
and
Angoras
were
to
be
found.
In
the
middle
of
the
centre
aisle
were
the
high-class
Cats.
A
great
throng
was
there.
The
passage
was
roped,
and
two
policemen
were
in
place
to
keep
the
crowd
moving.
Jap
wriggled
in
among
them;
he
was
too
short
to
see
over,
and
though
the
richly
gowned
folks
shrunk
from
his
shabby
old
clothes,
he
could
not
get
near;
but
he
gathered
from
the
remarks
that
the
gem
of
the
show
was
there.
