And then Puss was silent, distorted, and pale,
From the point of her nose to the end of her tail,
And all the night long she lay there all alone,
Till out of the window at last she was thrown.
And the maid in the kitchen is loud in her joy,
For now “There’s no ’orrible cat to annoy,”
“No dishes is broke,” and “Missus can’t say
As ever I put the poor Pussy away.”
Don Diego.
