Then, last of all, Davie gave to Lily a covered box, and when she opened it she saw within an exquisitely embroidered velvet pen-wiper, with a beautiful tortoise-shell cat lying upon it, and, playfully jumping over her back, were two of the most charming tortoise-shell kittens ever seen.
The mother-cat had around her neck a blue ribbon, and on the ribbon was written these words,—
"Here is your cat, Lily,—after fifty years."
