Nobody answered her and she gave one
more glanse at Peaty
Win you get your dog away or not2 she
asked him
He didn't answer her night off, but |
could hear him swallow as il he was be-
ginning to feel quite nervus about it.
Very well she said, ! shall 90 right in here
and telefone for the poleece.
Peaty looked 50 nervus then, thought
praps il would stop her. But il didn't
Wait just moment, dear, she called up
to the cat, I'm coming right back to you!
And she went straight in the house.
Peaty turned his head round very slow to
make sure that she was gone, and then he
turned il again and looked back at Peat,
and from the expression of his face / could
see that he was going to do it this time il
he dyed for it.
Keep still Peat he said IN kind of
SCARED whisper. Don't you novel Just
keep still Peat
Peat gansed down as il he hadn't in
tirely made up his mind whether he'd keep
still or not. and Peaty backed off littel
lords the gait.

pered littel louder Don t you move Peat
And Peat glansed down again, and then
he kind of edged off sevral inches from the
tree.
Stop Il Peat And Peaty spoke right
out loud that time and backed off Just O
littel more lords the gait. Stop i'll Don't
you dair Peat
You see the queer thing about Peat is he
has never been really known to take a
dair, and Peaty knew it. So.
Stop it, Peat he said. Don't you dair,
Peat
And Peat he fattened himself right out
on the ground, as much as to say ii might
be dangerous. but he would risk it anyway,
and then he just slid himself along as much
as yard lords Pcaty
Well the unexpeckted thing was, just at
that minute the poarch door opened and
the lady who oned the cat walked right
down the steps. But Peaty didn't see
her He was watching Peat too close.
And she stopped right where she was as
il she didn't intirely understand it anyway,
and watched them both
| tell YOU stop right where YOU are Peat!
Peaty said, as if he meant it too Don't you
go and risk it Peat
And Peat he fattened down more than
ever, as if he could see the danger but he
wasn't going to be any howard, and then
he slid right along lords Peaty
Peaty backed out Of the gait then.
Don't you come through that gait any
way, Peat he said in very loud whisper
that time. Don't you dair do anything
like that Peat
And Peat kept sliding along hatter than
ever, because with his dispersition Of course
he couldn't take dair.
Well, ii the lady who oned the cat hadn't
kept so still, OF course she would haze
spoiled it, but she didn't, she never spoke
a word till she saw Peat go sliding right
out through the gait, and Peaty catch him
by the collar
