# The Cat and the Captain/Chapter 4

​THE first thing that the Cat did the next morning was to walk all around the outside of the house. The grass seemed more crushed than usual, as though some one else, heavier than the Cat, had also been there. The air was filled with the smell of honeysuckle and crimson rambler roses and wet grass and soft earth, and beyond all that the salt fragrance of the sea. All these the Cat was used to. The moment they opened the door both the Cat and the Captain could tell by the smell whether the breeze came over the harbor, or across the hills. They didn't need even a glance at the ​schooner weather vane which spread its sails, no bigger than a handkerchief, above the roof of the tool shed. But this morning the Cat seemed to smell something strange. Perhaps it was a different tobacco. Perhaps it was boots. He couldn't be sure, but suddenly the odor brought back the memory of the most awful day in his life.
The year before, he had been with the Captain on the Lively Ann taking lumber to Havana. The weather was terribly rough for five days. The Ann was leaking, the waves were enormous, the wind howled all the time. The Mate of the ship was not an agreeable man at the best, and he was less agreeable after five ​days of storm. He hadn't had any real sleep and he'd been too busy to eat much. He hadn't shaved, or even washed himself. His eyes were red with sleepiness, his lips were blue with cold, and he was in a terrible temper, when he happened to come on the ship's cat sitting comfortably washing his paws in the cabin as though there were no storm at all. The sight infuriated him.
"You're the cause of all this tempest," he cried. "Every one knows that black cats bring bad luck on the sea. Overboard you go and we'll see if the wind won't shift!" With that he grabbed the Cat by the scruff of the neck and started for the deck.
​"Mew!" cried the Cat. "Mew! mew! mew!"
Outside the waves were like the jaws of monsters waiting to swallow him up. They opened and shut their green mouths. They shot out their long, hungry, white tongues.
"Mew! mew! mew!" cried the Cat again. He was usually a brave cat, but now he was limp with helplessness and terror. But who was to hear him in all the noise and hurry? Who was to think of a cat in the midst of such a storm? Right to the rail went the Mate, and the Cat saw the waves reaching for him. But suddenly there were hurrying steps. Some one's fist shot out and hit the Mate on the chin. Down he fell,
​letting go the Cat as he went, and in a moment more the Cat was trembling but safe in the Captain's arms.
The Mate never forgave either of them for that blow, and when he left the ship at the next port he was scowling and muttering.

The Commerce
If the schooner was guilty of any fault which caused the collision, or contributed to it in any degree, it was in a change of her course, which the respondents allege she made when the vessels were about four hundred yards from each other. No other fault was averred in the answer to the libel, and no other has been suggested in the argument here. But the evidence utterly fails to establish the allegation of any change of the course of the schooner after the steamer hove in sight, or after she was seen from the steamer. Not only is there the direct evidence to the contrary of the master and pilot of the schooner, as well as of a disinterested witness who saw the collision from a yacht two or three hundred yards westward from the place where it happened, but it is made abundantly manifest that a change of course was then impossible. There was a dead calm, with not a ripple upon the water, and the sails of the schooner were amidships, swinging inboard. She was drifting with an ebb tide, and could be kept straight only by an oar. Such is the overwhelming testimony. And nothing appears on the other side except the statement of the master of the steamer, who has testified that 'the wind was about southeast, and, as near as he could judge, about a two-knot breeze.' As the steamer was on a southeast course, and making six or seven knots, this testimony is very light evidence in the scale against the proofs that the schooner was becalmed, and consequently that the averment of a change of her course is without foundation. The case exhibits nothing, then, to justify the steamer's failure to keep out of the way, and she was properly condemned.
It is said, however, she has been mulcted in excessive damages. The District Court and the Circuit Court concurred in the assessment made, and we do not perceive that more was allowed to the libellants than the evidence warranted. When both the lower courts have agreed in their estimate of the damages, we ought not to set aside their conclusions without satisfactory evidence that they were mistaken. We have no such evidence before us.
DECREE AFFIRMED.

OF ATHALIA, QUENE OF JHERUSALEM.
WYLL telle yow another ensample of a quene of Jerusalem whiche was of euyll condycions, diuerse and withoute pyte. For whanne Ozias her sone was deed, she made al the children of her sone to be slayne, and alle his heyres also, sauf only one, that a good man named Zoadis made to be nouysshed secretely. This quene toke the possession of all the reame and goodes, and made vnto the peple grete dyuersytees and sore trauaylled them, and she taxed them so hyghe that they became poure. And as she had so trauaylled the reame, as she that was withoute reason and pyte, the child whiche hadde be secretely nourisshed and brought vp, cam to his enherytaunce, and toke the quene Athalia and made her to deye of an euyl and shameful dethe. And soo she hadde at the laste the reward and guerdon of her meryte. For god gyueth to every one the deserte of his meryte in his lyf or after his dethe. For none euylle is done, but hit shalle be punysshed soone or in tyme to come. I wold, fayre doughters, that ye knewe thensample and the tale of a quene of Fraunce, whiche had to name Brunehault. She was the quene of whome Sybile prophesyed, sayenge thus: "Brunehault shal come fro black Spayne in to the Reame of Gaule Fraunce, whiche shal do many euylle dedes, and afterwarde she shal be destroyed." And so it befelle, for she made somme of her children to be slayne, and also the sones of her children, & other grete crueltees she procured and dyde, whiche were to long to be reherced. But at the laste as hit pleasyd god, she was payd, for a child that scaaped her cruelte, which was sone to her son, and the whiche knewe the grete crueltees and abhoomynaltees that she had done and procured and maade to be done, accused her. And thenne al her fayttes ​and dedes were put to Iugement before al the barons of the londe, and sentence of dethe was cast on her, that she shold be bounden with the heres of her hede atte hors taylle. And thus it was done, and so she deyed of an euyl and shameful dethe.

HOW A WOMAN OUGHT TO OBEYE HER HUSBOND IN ALLE THYNGE HONEST.
WOLD ye knewe wel the tale and example of the lady whiche daygned not to come to her dyner for ony commaundement that her lord coude make to her, and so many tyme he sent for her that at the last, whanne he sawe she wold not come at his commaundement, he made to come before hym his swyneherd,he that kepte his swynes, whiche was foule and ouermoche hydous, and bad hym fetche the clowte of the kechyn wherwith men wype dysshes and platers. And thenne he made a table or bord to be dressyd before hys wyf, and made it to be couerd with the sayd cloute, and commaunded to his swyneherd to sytte besyde her. And thenne he sayd thus to her: "Lady, yf ye ne wylle ete with me, ne come at me, ne come at my commaunde ment, ye shalle haue the kepar of my swyne to hold yow company and good felauship, and this cloute to wype your handes with al." And whanne she that thenne was sore ashamed and more wrothe than she was tofore sawe and knewe that her lord mocked her, refreyned her proude herte and knewe her foly. Therfore a woman ought not in no wyse to refuse to come at the commaundement of her lord yf she wylle haue and kepe his loue and pees. And also by good reason humylyte ought to come fyrste to the woman, for euer she ought to shewe her self meke and humble toward her lord.

OF THE QUENE VASTIS.
SHAL telle you another ensample of a quene that was named vastys. She was wyf to the kynge Assuerus. It befelle that the Kynge held a feste with his barons, and there were alle the grete lordes of his londe. They satte att dyner in a hall, and the quene in another. And whanne the barons had dyned they prayd the kynge that he wold vouchesauf to shewe them the quene, whiche was merueyllously fayr. The kynge sente for her ones, twyes, and thryes, but neuer she daygned to come, wherof the kynge had grete shame, and demaunded of his barons counceylle what therof he myght best do. And suche was the counceylle gyuen; that is to wete, that he shold put her fro hym, and made her to be lockked & shette bitwene two wallys, that euery other shold take therby ensample, to be better obedyent to theyr lord than she was. And so after theyr counceyll dyde the kyng his wyf to be mured, and herof he made a lawe that fro thens forthon al wymmen y shold of ony thyng wythsaye & be disobedyent to her lord, seynge that it be resonable, that she shold be a yere within two wallys, and with litil mete and drynke for her defaute. And as yet they kepe and hold that custome in that londe. The quene that sawe her put in mewe was sore ashamed, & wepte and sorowed moche, but was to late, for notwithstondynge her mournynge and lamentacion she was putte in pryson, as aboue is sayd, where she was a yere. Therfore wel ye ought to take here good ensample, for specially before folke ye ought to doo the commaundement of your lord, and obeysshe and bere hym honour, and euer shewe hym semblaūt of loue, yf ye wylle haue the loue of hym and of the world. But I saye not as ye shalle be pryuely and allone one by other but that ye may eslargysshe your self to say or do your wylle after the best wyse that ye maye, and after ye knowe his maners. I ​shall telle yow thensample of the lyon & of his propryete. As the lyonnesse, that is to vnderstond, the female of the lyon, hath done the lyon ony faute or despyte, he shalle not go with her, but fro her shalle kepe hym self one daye and a nyght, and soo sheweth he his lordship and seygnorye that he hath ouer the lyonesse. This ensample is fair & prouffitable to all wymmen, consyderynge how a sauage and wyld beest, and withoute reason, and that dothe but as nature enclyneth her, maketh her self to be drawe and doubted of felawe.

OF ENUYE.
WYLLE telle yow an ensample of Enuye, whiche is an euyl vyce, of Marye the suster of Moyses, the whiche sayd that she was as wel belouyd of god as her broder Moyses, and that god herd her prayers and requestes as he dyd his, wherof god was wrothe with her, and made her to become lepre, in soo moche she was put oute of the towne, soo that she myght no more come amonge the folke. And notwithstandynge her grete enuye, yet had Moyses and Aaron pyte of her, and made requeste that it wold please hym to hele and gwerysshe her And at theyr requeste god maade her hole ageyne. Take ye here ensample how grete parylle is to haue enuye of other men's preferement and worship, and how god dyd punysshe this lady, whiche was the moost noble damoysel that was in alle the land.

HOW WE OUGHT TO SAYE OURE HOURES AND PRAYERS.
AYRE doughters, whan ye ryse oute of youre bedde, thenne entre in to the seruyse of the hyhe lord, and begyn ye your matyns. This ought be youre first werk and your firste labour. And when ye shal say them, saye ye them with good herte, thynke ye on none other thyng yf ye may; for ye may not goo two weyes at ones, for ye must goo that one or that other. Thus is it of the seruyce of god, for as the wyseman saith in sapyence, "As moche auayleth it hym that redeth & vnderstōdeth not, as doth to hym that hunteth and taketh not." And therfore he that thynketh on erthely thynges, and seyth his Pater noster or prayers that toucheth heuēly thynges, doth a thyng that is contrary. And it proufyteth not; it is not but for to mocke god. And therfore saith the hooly scripture, that the short prayer perceth heuen; but that is to saye that more auayleth a short prayer and said with good herte and deuoutely, than a grete and longe prayer and to thynke on other thynges. And when more is said deuoutely, than is it more worthe, and more deseruyth he meryte. And yet seith the hooly scripture, that lyke as the swete dewe of Maye and of Aprylle pleseth moche vnto the erthe and attempreth it swetely in makyng to germyne and fructyfye, ryght so ben the heures and prayers deuoutely said playsaunt to fore god. Thenne ye shall fynde in many places and specially in the legēde of hooly confessours, of vyrgyns and of other hooly wymmen whiche made her beddes of hard and roughe thynges, and laye theron for to slepe the lasse & to haue the lasse reste, for to wepe ofte and many tymes to wake for to entre in to prayers and in the seruyce of god, wherin they held hem day and nyght. And for that seruyce and laboure haue they goten, as it is shewed openly to the world, that they ben in the hooly ioye with hym by that that he doth ​for them euydent myracles. For thus god rewardeth the seruyce that is done to hym an honderd fold double, as I haue seid to fore. And therfore, fayre doughters, saye your heures and prayers deuoutely, and with good herte, without thynkyng on ony other thynge, and beware that ye breke not your faste till that ye haue said youre matyns and heures, for a ful bely shal neuer be humble ne deuoute. Also see wel to that ye here alle the masses that ye maye here, for grete good shall come therof, whereof I shall saye an ensample of this matere.
# The Booke of Thenseygnementes and Techynge that the Knyght of the Towre made to his Doughters/Chapter 41

OF THE LADY THAT BLANKED AND POPPED HER.
ND for to afferme this Ensample, that it may for very certeyne haue be, I shalle telle yow of suche one that byfelle but of late. I sawe a baronnesse, ryght a hyghe and noble lady of lygnage, the whiche, as men saide, blanked and popped or peynted her self. I sawe also hym that gaf to her every yere suche thynges wherwith she popped her, wherfore he tooke yerely grete pension of her, as he hym self said as he was aparte at his seurte. This lady was somtyme right moche honoured and worshiped, and also right myghty. Her lord deyde, wherfore euer syn her stat day by day dymynuysshed. One tyme was that she had more than .lx. payre of gownes, as men said, but at the last she had lesse and scant ynough. And of her I herd saye, that after she was dede her visage and all the body of her took suche forme and coutrefaiture that men ne couthe saye what it was. But well I wene that the peyntynge of her face wherof ofte she vsed as she lyued, also the grete pryde of her and the grete wast and superfluyte of her gownes, was cause and occasion of suche horryble countrefeture. Wherfore, my faire doughters, I pray you that here ye wylle take good Ensample and wel withold it and kepe hit in remembraunce withynne youre hertes, and that ye put no thynge to youre faces but leue them as god & nature hath made and ordeyned them. For ye may fynde and see atte oure lady of Rukemadoure many tresses of ladyes and damoyselles that had wasshed them in wyn and other thynges, and therfor they myght not entre in to the Chirche tyll they had doo kyt of their tresses and brought them in to the Chappell of oure lady, where as yet they be hangynnge. This fayt or dede is approued. And I telle you that oure lady dyde shewe to them grete loue in doynge this myracle, for the gloryous vyrgyn wold not that they shold ​lese their peyne and tyme comyng thyder, also that they sholde not be lost for euer, therfore she shewed the said myracle on them, wherfor they that were in the weye of perdicion were brought to the weye of saluacion. Here is a fair spectacle to euery woman to see in and conceyue the tyme comynge and the tyme also gone and passed, as in the tyme of Noe, when thorugh the synne of pryde god sent the deluge of waters, wherof all the world was drowned, for by that synne of pryde came amonge men and wymmen the fowle and vyle synne of lecherye, and therof cam the grete perylle, and of all the world scaped no more but eyght persones.
