Another evening the next Speaker of the House, Mr. Cannon, an exceedingly solemn, elderly gentleman with chin whiskers, who certainly does not look to be of playful nature, came to call upon me. ANOTHER EVENING THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE MISTER CANNON AN EXCEEDINGLY SOLEMN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN WITH CHIN WHISKERS WHO CERTAINLY DOES NOT LOOK TO BE OF PLAYFUL NATURE CAME TO CALL UPON ME
inly the cunningest kitten I have ever seen. He is always playing pranks on Jack and I get very nervous lest Jack should grow too irritated. The other evening they were both in the library--Jack sleeping before the fire--Tom Quartz scampering about, an exceedingly playful little wild creature--which is about what he is. He would race across the floor, then jump upon the curtain or play with the tassel. Suddenly he spied Jack and galloped up to him. Jack, looking exceedingly sullen and shame-faced, jumped out of the way and got upon the sofa, where Tom Quartz instantly jumped upon him again. Jack suddenly shifted to the other sofa, where Tom Quartz again went after him. Then Jack started for the door, while Tom made a rapid turn under the sofa and around the table, and just as Jack reached the door leaped on his hind-quarters. Jack bounded forward and away and the two went tandem out of the room--Jack not reappearing at all; and after about five minutes Tom Quartz stalked solemnly back. ERE TOM QUARTZ IS CERTAINLY THE CUNNINGEST KITTEN I HAVE EVER SEEN HE IS ALWAYS PLAYING PRANKS ON JACK AND I GET VERY NERVOUS LEST JACK SHOULD GROW TOO IRRITATED THE OTHER EVENING THEY WERE BOTH IN THE LIBRARY JACK SLEEPING BEFORE THE FIRE TOM QUARTZ SCAMPERING ABOUT AN EXCEEDINGLY PLAYFUL LITTLE WILD CREATURE WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT HE IS HE WOULD RACE ACROSS THE FLOOR THEN JUMP UPON THE CURTAIN OR PLAY WITH THE TASSEL SUDDENLY HE SPIED JACK AND GALLOPED UP TO HIM JACK LOOKING EXCEEDINGLY SULLEN AND SHAMEFACED JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY AND GOT UPON THE SOFA WHERE TOM QUARTZ INSTANTLY JUMPED UPON HIM AGAIN JACK SUDDENLY SHIFTED TO THE OTHER SOFA WHERE TOM QUARTZ AGAIN WENT AFTER HIM THEN JACK STARTED FOR THE DOOR WHILE TOM MADE A RAPID TURN UNDER THE SOFA AND AROUND THE TABLE AND JUST AS JACK REACHED THE DOOR LEAPED ON HIS HIND QUARTERS JACK BOUNDED FORWARD AND AWAY AND THE TWO WENT TANDUM OUT OF THE ROOM JACK NOT REAPPEARING AT ALL AND AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TOM QUARTZ STALKED SOLEMNLY BACK
