The
basket
was
lifted
into
a
Rumble-shaker.
New
sounds
and
passing
smells
were
entered
and
left.
A
turn
in
the
course
was
made.
Then
a
roaring
of
many
feet,
more
swinging
of
the
basket;
a
short
pause,
another
change
of
direction,
then
some
clicks,
some
bangs,
a
long
shrill
whistle,
and
door-bells
of
a
very
big
front
door;
a
rumbling,
a
whizzing,
an
unpleasant
smell,
a
hideous
smell,
a
growing
horrible,
hateful
choking
smell,
a
deadly,
griping,
poisonous
stench,
with
roaring
that
drowned
poor
Kitty's
yowls,
and
just
as
it
neared
the
point
where
endurance
ceased,
there
was
relief.
She
heard
clicks
and
clacks.
There
was
light;
there
was
air.
Then
a
man's
voice
called,
"All
out
for
125th
Street,"
though
of
course
to
Kitty
it
was
a
mere
human
bellow.
The
roaring
almost
ceased--did
cease.
Later
the
rackety-bang
was
renewed
with
plenty
of
sounds
and
shakes,
though
not
the
poisonous
gas;
a
long,
hollow,
booming
roar
with
a
pleasant
dock
smell
was
quickly
passed,
and
then
there
was
a
succession
of
jolts,
roars,
jars,
stops,
clicks,
clacks,
smells,
jumps,
shakes,
more
smells,
more
shakes,--big
shakes,
little
shakes,--gases,
smokes,
screeches,
door-bells,
tremblings,
roars,
thunders,
and
some
new
smells,
raps,
taps,
heavings,
rumblings,
and
more
smells,
but
all
without
any
of
the
feel
that
the
direction
is
changed.
When
at
last
it
stopped,
the
sun
came
twinkling
through
the
basket-lid.
The
Royal
Cat
was
lifted
into
a
Rumble-shaker
of
the
old
familiar
style,
and,
swerving
aside
from
their
past
course,
very
soon
the
noises
of
its
wheels
were
grittings
and
rattlings;
a
new
and
horrible
sound
was
added--the
barking
of
Dogs,
big
and
little
and
dreadfully
close.
The
basket
was
lifted,
and
Slum
Kitty
had
reached
her
country
home.
