A
great
bundle
of
stuff
from
the
docks
had
reached
the
country
mansion.
What
it
contained
was
of
little
moment,
but
it
was
rich
with
a
score
of
the
most
piquant
and
winsome
of
dock
and
slum
smells.
The
chords
of
memory
surely
dwell
in
the
nose,
and
Pussy's
past
was
conjured
up
with
dangerous
force.
Next
day
the
cook
'left'
through
some
trouble
over
this
very
bundle.
It
was
the
cutting
of
cables,
and
that
evening
the
youngest
boy
of
the
house,
a
horrid
little
American
with
no
proper
appreciation
of
royalty,
was
tying
a
tin
to
the
blue-blooded
one's
tail,
doubtless
in
furtherance
of
some
altruistic
project,
when
Pussy
resented
the
liberty
with
a
paw
that
wore
five
big
fish-hooks
for
the
occasion.
The
howl
of
downtrodden
America
roused
America's
mother.
The
deft
and
womanly
blow
that
she
aimed
with
her
book
was
miraculously
avoided,
and
Pussy
took
flight,
up-stairs,
of
course.
A
hunted
Rat
runs
down-stairs,
a
hunted
Dog
goes
on
the
level,
a
hunted
Cat
runs
up.
She
hid
in
the
garret,
baffled
discovery,
and
waited
till
night
came.
Then,
gliding
down-stairs,
she
tried
each
screen-door
in
turn,
till
she
found
one
unlatched,
and
escaped
into
the
black
August
night.
Pitch-black
to
man's
eyes,
it
was
simply
gray
to
her,
and
she
glided
through
the
disgusting
shrubbery
and
flower-beds,
took
a
final
nip
at
that
one
little
bush
that
had
been
an
attractive
spot
in
the
garden,
and
boldly
took
her
back
track
of
the
spring.
