And our little Mistress belabored that full evil cat with Master Sweetheart's crutch, until that cruel beast let loose her hold upon the fluttering bird and was full glad to escape with her aching bones into the thicket again. AND OUR LITTLE MISTRESS BELABOURED THAT FULL EVIL CAT WITH MASTER SWEETHEART'S CRUTCH UNTIL THAT CRUEL BEAST LET LOOSE HER HOLD UPON THE FLUTTERING BIRD AND WAS FULL GLAD TO ESCAPE WITH HER ACHING BONES INTO THE THICKET AGAIN
hose birds fly down with grateful twitterings and eat of those crumbs upon the greensward round about the arbor. Wit ye well, it was a merry sight to see those twittering birds making feast upon the good things which those children brought, and our little Mistress Merciless and little Master Sweetheart had sweet satisfaction therein. But, on a day, whilst thus those twittering birds made great feasting, lo! on a sudden did that full evil cat whereof I have spoken steal softly from a thicket, and with one hideous bound make her way into the very midst of those birds and seize upon that bird Joyous, that was wont to sing so merrily from the tree hard by the arbor. Oh, there was a mighty din and a fearful fluttering, and the rest flew swiftly away, but Joyous could not do so, because the full evil cat held him in her cruel fangs and claws. And I make no doubt that Joyous would speedily have met his death, but that with a wrathful cry did our little Mistress Merciless hasten to his rescue. UCH TIMES WOULD THOSE BIRDS FLY DOWN WITH GRATEFUL TWITTERINGS AND EAT OF THOSE CRUMBS UPON THE GREENSWARD ROUND ABOUT THE ARBOUR WIT YE WELL IT WAS A MERRY SIGHT TO SEE THOSE TWITTERING BIRDS MAKING FEAST UPON THE GOOD THINGS WHICH THOSE CHILDREN BROUGHT AND OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS AND LITTLE MASTER SWEETHEART HAD SWEET SATISFACTION THEREIN BUT ON A DAY WHILST THUS THOSE TWITTERING BIRDS MAKE GREAT FEASTING LO ON A SUDDEN DID THAT FULL EVIL CAT WHEREOF I HAVE SPOKEN STEAL SOFTLY FROM A THICKET AND WITH ONE HIDEOUS BOUND MAKE HER WAY INTO THE VERY MIDST OF THOSE BIRDS AND SEIZE UPON THAT BIRD JOYOUS THAT WAS WONT TO SING SO MERRILY FROM THE TREE HARD BY THE ARBOUR O THERE WAS A MIGHTY DIN AND A FEARFUL FLUTTERING AND THE REST FLEW SWIFTLY AWAY BUT JOYOUS COULD NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE FULL EVIL CAT HELD HIM IN HER CRUEL FANGS AND CLAWS AND I MAKE NO DOUBT THAT JOYOUS WOULD SPEEDILY HAVE MET HIS DEATH BUT THAT WITH A WRATHFUL CRY DID OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS HASTEN TO HIS RESCUE
