JACOBS - - BECAUSE - HE LIKED IT - - [Small Decoration] - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - A DOG DAY - - OR - - THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE - - -A.M. -7 - - Woke up feeling rather below par, owing to - disturbed rest. Hardly enough energy to stretch - myself. In the middle of the night a strange man - came in by the kitchen window, very quietly, with - a bag. I chummed up to him at once. He was nice to - me, and I was nice to him. He got me down a piece - of meat that I could not reach myself. While I was - engaged on this, he took a whole lot of silver - things and put them into the bag. Then, as he was - leaving, the brute—I believe, now, it was an - accident—trod on my toe, making me yelp with pain. - I bit him heartily, and he dropped his bag, and - scurried off through the window again. My yelping - soon woke up the whole house, and, in a very short - time, old Mr. Brown and young Mr. Brown appear. - They at once spot the bag of silver. They then - declare I have saved the house, and make no end of - fuss with me. I am a hero. Later on Miss Brown - came down and fondled me lots, and kissed me, and - tied a piece of pink ribbon round my neck, and - made me look a fool. What’s the good of ribbon, I - should like to know? It’s the most beastly tasting - stuff there ever was. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - -8:30. - - Ate breakfast with difficulty. Have no appetite. - -8:35. - - Ate kittens’ breakfast. - -8:36. - - An affair with the cat (the kittens’ mother). But - I soon leave her, as the coward does not fight - fair, using claws. - - [Illustration] - -9:0. - - Washed by Mary. A hateful business. Put into a - tub, and rubbed all over—mouth, tail, and - everywhere—with filthy soapy water, that loathsome - cat looking on all the while, and sneering in her - dashed superior way. I don’t know, I am sure, why - the hussy should be so conceited. She has to clean - herself. I keep a servant to clean me. At the same - time I often wish I was a black dog. They keep - clean so much longer. Every finger-mark shows up - so frightfully on the white part of me. I am a - sight after Cook has been stroking me. - -9:30. - - Showed myself in my washed state to the family. - All very nice to me. Quite a triumphal entry, - in fact. It is simply wonderful the amount of - kudos I’ve got from that incident with the man. - Miss Brown (whom I rather like) particularly - enthusiastic. Kissed me again and again, and - called me “a dear, clean, brave, sweet-smelling - little doggie.” - - [Illustration] - -9:40. - - While a visitor was being let in at the front-door - I rushed out, and had the most glorious roll in - the mud. Felt more like my old self then. - -9:45. - - Visited the family again. Shrieks of horror on - seeing me caked in mud. But all agreed that I was - not to be scolded to-day as I was a hero (over the - man!). All, that is, except Aunt Brown, whose - hand, for some reason or other, is always against - me—though nothing is too good for the cat. She - stigmatised me, quite gratuitously, as “a horrid - fellow.” - - [Illustration] - -9:50. - - Glorious thought! Rushed upstairs and rolled over - and over on the old maid’s bed. Thank Heaven, the - mud was still wet! - - [Illustration] - -10 to 10:15. - - Wagged tail. - - [Illustration] - -10:16. - - Down into kitchen. While Cook is watching regiment - pass, I play with chops, and bite big bits out of - them. Cook, who is quite upset for the day by - seeing so many soldiers, continues to cook the - chops without noticing. - -10:20 to ... - - Dozed. - - [Illustration] - -1:15. - - Ate kittens’ dinner. - - [Illustration] - -1:20. - - Attacked by beast of cat again. She scratched my - hind-leg, and at that I refused to go on. Mem.: to - take it out of her kittens later. - - [Illustration] - -1:25. - - Upstairs into dining-room. Family not finished - lunch yet. Young Mr. Brown throws a bread pellet - at me, hitting me on the nozzle. An insult. I - swallow the insult. Then I go up to Miss Brown and - look at her with my great pleading eyes. I guessed - it: they are irresistible. She gives me a piece of - pudding. Aunt Brown tells her she shouldn’t. At - which, with great pluck, Miss Brown tells her to - mind her own business. I admire that girl more and - more. - - [Illustration] - -1:30. - - A windfall. A whole dish of mayonnaise fish on the - slab in the hall. Before you can say Jack Robinson - I have bolted it. - -1:32. - - Curious pains in my underneath. - - [Illustration] - -1:33. - - Pains in my underneath get worse. - -1:34. - - Horrid feeling of sickness. - - [Illustration] - -1:35. - - Rush up into Aunt Brown’s room, and am sick there. - - [Illustration] - -1:37. - - Better. Think I shall pull through if I am - careful. - -1:40. - - Almost well again. - -1:41. - - Quite well again. Thank Heavens! It was a narrow - shave that time. People ought not to leave such - stuff about. - -1:42. - - Up into dining-room. And, to show how well I am, I - gallumph round and round the room, at full pelt, - about twenty times, steering myself by my tail. - Then, as a grand finale, I jump twice on to the - waistcoat-part of old Mr. Brown, who is sleeping - peacefully in the arm-chair. He wakes up very - angry indeed, and uses words I have never heard - before. Even Miss Brown, to my no little surprise, - says it is very naughty of me. Old Mr. Brown - insists on my being punished, and orders Miss - Brown to beat me. Miss Brown runs the burglar for - all he is worth. But no good. Old Mr. Brown is - dead to all decent feeling! - - [Illustration] - - So Miss Brown beats me. Very nice. Thoroughly - enjoyable. Just like being patted. But, of course, - I yelp, and pretend it hurts frightfully, and do - the sad-eye business, and she soon leaves off - and takes me into the next room and gives me six - pieces of sugar! Good business. Must remember - always to do this. Before leaving she kisses me - and explains that I should not have jumped on poor - Pa, as he is the man who goes to the City to earn - bones for me. Something in that, perhaps. Nice - girl. - - [Illustration] - -2:0 to 3:15. - - Attempt to kill fur rug in back room. No good. - -3:15 to 3:45. - - Sulked. - -3:46. - - Small boy comes in, and strokes me. I snap at him. - _I will not_ be every one’s plaything. - - [Illustration] - -3:47 to 4:0. - - Another attempt to kill rug. Would have done it - this time, had not that odious Aunt Brown come in - and interfered. I did not say anything, but gave - her such a look, as much as to say, “I’ll do for - you one day.” I think she understood. - -4:0 to 5:15. - - Slept. - - [Illustration] - -5:15. - - Awakened by bad attack of eczema. - - [Illustration] - -5:20 to 5:30. - - Slept again. - -5:30. - - Awakened again by eczema. Caught one. - - [Illustration] - -5:30 to 6:0. - - Frightened canary by staring greedily at it. - - [Illustration] - -6:0. - - Visited kitchen-folk. Boned some bones. - - [Illustration] - -6:15. - - Stalked a kitten in kitchen-passage. The other - little cowards ran away. - -6:20. - - Things are looking brighter: helped mouse escape - from cat. - - [Illustration] - -6:30. - - Upstairs, past the drawing-room. Door of old Mrs. - Brown’s bedroom open invitingly. I entered. Never - been in before. Nothing much worth having. Ate a - few flowers out of a bonnet. Beastly. - - [Illustration] - - Then into Miss Brown’s room. Very tidy when I - entered. Discovered there packet labelled - “High-class Pure Confectionery.” Not bad. Pretty - room. - - [Illustration] - -7:0. - - Down to supper. Ate it, but without much relish. I - am off my feed to-day. - -7:15. - - Ate kittens’ supper. But I do wish they would not - give them that eternal fish. I am getting sick of - it. - -7:16. - - Sick of it in the garden. - -7:25. - - Nasty feeling of lassitude comes over me, with - loss of all initiative, so I decide to take - things quietly, and lie down by the kitchen - fire. Sometimes I think that I am not the dog - that I was. - -8:0. - - Hooray! Appetite returning. - -8:1. - - Ravenous. - -8:2. - - Have one of the nicest pieces of coal I have ever - come across. - - [Illustration] - -8:5. - - Nose around the kitchen floor, and glean a bit of - onion, an imitation tortoise-shell comb, a shrimp - (almost entire), an abominably stale chunk of - bread, and about half a yard of capital string. - After coal, I think I like string best. The family - have noticed what a lot of this I stow away, and - it was not a bad idea of young Mr. Brown’s, the - other day, that, if I had the end of a piece of - string always hanging from my mouth, they could - use me as a string-box. Though it is scarcely a - matter for joking about. Still, it made me laugh. - -8:30. - - If one had to rely on other people one might - starve. Fortunately, in the hall I happen on the - treacle-pudding, and I get first look in. Lap up - the treacle, and leave the suet for the family. - A1. - - [Illustration] - -8:40. - - Down into the kitchen again. Sit by the fire, - and pretend I don’t know what treacle is like. - But that vile cat is there, and I believe she - guesses—keeps looking round at me with her hateful - superior look. Dash her, what right has she got to - give herself such airs? She’s not half my size, - and pays no taxes. Dash her smugness. Dash her - altogether. The sight of her maddens me—and, when - her back is turned, I rush at her, and bite her. - The crafty coward wags her tail, pretending she - likes it, so I do it again, and then she rounds on - me, and scratches my paw viciously, drawing blood, - and making me howl with pain. This brings Miss - Brown down in a hurry. She kisses me, tells the - cat she is a naughty cat (_I’d_ have killed her - for it), gives me some sugar, and wraps the paw up - in a bread-poultice. Lord, how that girl loves me! - -9:0. - - Ate the bread-poultice. - -9:15. - - Begin to get sleepy. - -9:15 to 10:0. - - Dozed. - -10:0. - - Led to kennel. - -10:15. - - Lights out.

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: 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. - |
