The Three Owls
To-night, too-whit!
The Cat
Pfitt!—Where?
The Owls
The hollies, too-whoo!
The Cat
What o’clock?
The Owls
Eight, too-whit! too-whoo!
First Owl
Bats weaving soft black snares of flight—
The Cat
Are they with us?
The Three Owls
They are!
First Owl
Mole, burrowing from nether to upper night—
The Cat
Is she with us?
