BENNETT.</span></h2> + + +<p class="f1">There once lived happily together, in a fine house, a +tortoise-shell Cat and a pretty white Dog: the Cat’s name was +Tittums; the Dog’s, Fido. In course of time the pretty Dog fell +in love with the Cat, and only waited for a good chance to +disclose his affections. This came one day, when Tittums had put +her paws on the fender, dropped her head a little on one side, +half closed her eyes, and seemed thinking of nothing at all. Then +Fido, who lay stretched at full length upon the hearth-rug, +looked steadfastly at her, and heaving a gentle whine, said,—</p> + +<p class="f1">“Oh, Tittums, I’ve fallen in love!”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 433px;"> +<img src="images/image_03.jpg" width="433" height="573" alt="FIDO COURTING TITTUMS." title="" /> +<span class="caption">FIDO COURTING TITTUMS.</span> +</div> + +<p class="f1">“Indeed!” replied the prudent Cat, not wishing to show him how +anxious she was.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Yes, indeed,” continued the little Doggy, rather hurt at her +coldness: “it’s you that I’ve fallen in love with. Do you like +me, Tittums?”</p> + +<p class="f1">But Tittums would not answer, even with a single <i>purr-r</i>! and it +was only upon her giving him a sly look out of the corner of her +left eye that he guessed how much she did like him. However, made +bold by even this small token of esteem, he came quietly up, and +sat by her side; even going so far, at last, as to take her out +for a short walk down the garden-path, where they looked through +the railings at the people passing by.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Well,” said Fido to himself, “I have no doubt but she will love +me in time; all the more, as I have great hopes of growing bigger +before the spring.”</p> + + + +<p class="f1">But one morning, when Tittums came in from a visit she had been +paying her mamma, she was followed by a gentleman from the +tropics, who, with all the impudence of his race, made himself +quite at home, pressed Tittums’ paw to his heart, called her +“the loveliest of Cats,” asked her to oblige him with a song, +which he had been told she could sing very sweetly, and never +took the least notice of poor Fido, who was sitting in the +corner. To tell the truth, poor Fido was very cross, and began to +growl quite savagely; the more so when, to his dismay, he beheld +the pleasure with which Tittums heard all this nonsense. He could +not think what right the bold stranger had to come there unasked; +for all that he had bright red and green feathers, a rakish, +broad-brimmed hat, and a gold-headed walking-cane, he was not +good-looking, that was very certain.</p> + +<p class="f1">But Tittums was very much struck by his appearance and bearing; +his feathers were so pretty, he spoke so many languages, shrieked +so terribly and in such a loud voice, had travelled so much, and +was so struck by the beauty of Tittums, that, poor little Cat as +she was, she ceased to care a button for faithful Fido, and kept +all her sly glances for Mr. Paul Parrot.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Lovely Tittums,” said Mr. Paul, “you must forget such upstart +puppies as Fido. Listen to me—I am a traveller—I speak five +languages,—I have a palace made of golden bars, within which is +a perch fit for a king,—I have a pension of bread and milk and +Barcelona nuts: all of which I will share with you. To-morrow we +will go for a trip into the field next to the house. Good-by for +the present, my dear Pussy Cat;” and he went away kissing his +hand.</p> + +<p class="f1">Poor Fido howled. Naughty Tittums!</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 433px;"> +<img src="images/image_04.jpg" width="433" height="567" alt="TITTUMS DESERTING FIDO." title="" /> +<span class="caption">TITTUMS DESERTING FIDO.</span> +</div> + +<p class="f1">As day followed day, Miss Puss neglected her little Dog more and +more. She walked out with Mr. Paul Parrot, she sang to him, +looked kindly at him, and, in fact, only seemed happy when he was +by. Poor Fido was true to his first love, although almost brought +to despair; he got very thin indeed, and his fine bushy coat, +which he had kept nice and clean, became ragged and dirty.</p> + +<p class="f1">Indeed, Mr. Parrot carried all before him; he was so grand, so +loving, and so clever, that Fido from being deserted became +despised, and was indeed thinking about hanging himself on the +meat-hook in the kitchen.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 436px;"> +<img src="images/image_05.jpg" width="436" height="574" alt="TITTUMS WALKING OUT WITH THE PARROT." title="" /> +<span class="caption">TITTUMS WALKING OUT WITH THE PARROT.</span> +</div> + + + +<p class="f1">One evening, just after dark, as he was roaming about, feeling +very sad, and thinking that, perhaps, it would be better to run +away than to use the meat-hook, he all at once found himself in +the next garden, and while he was looking round him, he heard +voices.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Lovely Mrs. Daw,” said one of the voices which he seemed to +recognise, “I am a traveller—I speak five languages—I have a +palace made of golden bars, within which is a perch fit for a +king,—I have a pension of bread and milk and nuts; all of which +I will share with you. To-morrow we will fly for an excursion on +to the great oak-tree in Farmer Hodges’ field.”</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 439px;"> +<img src="images/image_06.jpg" width="439" height="577" alt="THE PARROT COURTING THE JACKDAW." title="" /> +<span class="caption">THE PARROT COURTING THE JACKDAW.</span> +</div> + +<p class="f1">“Dear me!” thought Fido, “this must be Mr. Parrot.” And, sure +enough, so it was,—Mr. Parrot, indeed, and making the warmest of +love to old Mrs. Daw, the widow of Miser Jack Daw, who, during a +long life, and by means of stealing and saving, had laid by a +large fortune, which he had left Mrs. Daw to enjoy.</p> + +<p class="f1">The old widow seemed very much pleased at the warmth of Mr. +Paul’s love, and no doubt thought that every word he said was +true; leering round at him with her old eyes, and wishing that +she had put on a clean muslin cap, as it might have made her look +even younger than she thought she did.</p> + +<p class="f1">As for Fido, he almost jumped for joy; he ran home as soon as +ever he could.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Oh, Tittums!” said he, heedless of her scornful looks, “what do +you think I have found out? There is that rascal of a Paul +Parrot, who pretends so much love for you, courting Widow Daw at +this very moment; and if you come at once you may see it with +your own eyes.”</p> + +<p class="f1">“Nonsense!” replied Tittums: “I do not believe it.”</p> + +<p class="f1">“Well,” said the Dog, “to convince you, if you will only come to +the other side of the wall you shall see that what I have said is +quite true.”</p> + +<p class="f1">But Pussy, trusting in the honour of Mr. Paul, would not believe +a word, and it was only after a great deal of persuasion that she +was induced to jump over the wall and listen.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 439px;"> +<img src="images/image_07.jpg" width="439" height="575" alt="EAVES-DROPPERS." title="" /> +<span class="caption">EAVES-DROPPERS.</span> +</div> + +<p class="f1">Mr. Paul and Mrs. Daw were still courting, and the Parrot was +trying, by coaxing the old lady, to find out how much she was +worth, and where all her treasures were hid. Indeed Mrs. Daw was +just on the point of telling him her secret, when Tittums, unable +to contain herself, rushed at Mr. Paul and scratched his face.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Oh, you bad Parrot!” she said; “did you not promise to marry me, +and take me to your golden palace?”</p> + +<p class="f1">“Golden palace!” screamed Mrs. Daw: “why, you wicked bird, that’s +what you promised me. Stay, ma’am, what did he say besides?—did +he promise you any bread and milk, or any Barcelona nuts?”</p> + +<p class="f1">“Yes, he did—he did—he did,” continued the Cat, scratching and +clawing the false, faithless Parrot as she spoke.</p> + +<p class="f1">“Well,” said Pussy, now fairly exhausted, “I hope you are +satisfied: if ever you come near our house again, I’ll scratch +out every feather you have on your back;” and so she left him, +taking Fido with her, who, in spite of his general good nature +and the Parrot’s rage, could not resist giving him two or three +sharp bites.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 436px;"> +<img src="images/image_08.jpg" width="436" height="570" alt="THE PARROT EXPOSED." title="" /> +<span class="caption">THE PARROT EXPOSED.</span> +</div> + +<p class="f1">As soon as Mrs. Daw was left alone with Paul, she began to +upbraid him with his falseness,—“You vulgar, stuck-up, ugly, +awkward deceiver! you have neither honesty enough to live by, nor +wings enough to fly with.” Whereupon she jumped at him and gave +him such a plucking as spoilt his good looks.</p> + +<p class="f1">Never after this was the Parrot able to hold up his head. Every +one scorned him; even his golden palace turned out to be a brass +cage; and for his misdeeds a chain was fastened round his leg. He +was confined to a wooden perch, which, out of pure spite, he was +always pecking.</p> + +<p class="f1">Old Widow Daw kept her secret, and remained unmarried.</p> + +<p class="f1">Tittums could not help admiring the constancy of Fido; and when +in the spring he had grown bigger, and was promoted to a sweet +red and black collar, Pussy found that she loved him very much +indeed, and made up her mind never more to forsake him.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 437px;"> +<img src="images/image_09.jpg" width="437" height="573" alt="THE PARROT GETTING A GOOD PICKING" title="" /> +<span class="caption">THE PARROT GETTING A GOOD PICKING</span> +</div> + + + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<div class="figcenter"><img class="img1" src="images/image_10.jpg" alt="Ad.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
