<h2 class='c006'>CHAPTER XX<br/> <span class='large'>IN THE CITY AGAIN</span></h2></div>
<p class='c010'>Weeks more have passed, and now we are
in the city. Life is so quiet and happy that
I don't seem to have much to think over! We
eat, sleep, have a good time, and, looking out
the window at the snow and ice, pity the poor
cats who have no comfortable homes. That
is our only trouble—Slyboots and mine.
She stood the journey back to the city remarkably
well, and as the days go by we
become firmer friends than ever. I even
proposed a while ago to have her sleep in my
bed, but she said, “Black-Face, you aren't
half grown up. Us cats want our own bed
and our own food-dish. Don't mix too much,
or you'll fight. We're better friends apart.”</p>
<p class='c000'>Mona laughed when I told her this, and
said there was much truth in it. She and
Dolly are both well, and enjoy long walks
every day with Mr. and Mrs. Denville. Mona
<span class='pageno' id='Page_308'>308</span>says it is all nonsense to say a dog can not
be kept healthy in a city. Good food and
plenty of exercise will keep animals in condition
anywhere, unless the air is poisonous,
and she says Boston air is as good as any air.</p>
<p class='c000'>Little Mary is much brighter and better for
her visit to the country; and her parents are
planning to take her to the country again
quite early next spring. Mr. Denville is
going to have a furnace put into the farm-house,
so that they won't feel the cold. Just
now Mary and her mother are very busy
getting a Christmas box ready for the farm.</p>
<p class='c000'>Della and the boys almost broke their
hearts when little Mary left them, and Slyboots
and I are lost in admiration of the
beautiful and useful presents that are going
into the box for those children.</p>
<p class='c000'>With all their care for the human beings,
for the Denvilles do much for the poor children
in Boston, they do not forget the animals.
The animal refuge where I was taken
when I was a lost pussy, is to have a joyous
Christmas. Mary is going to help decorate
a Christmas tree for the cats, and the dogs
<span class='pageno' id='Page_309'>309</span>are to have some new drinking-fountains,
and a sum of money which will go to the
rescue of suffering creatures who would
otherwise perish in the streets.</p>
<p class='c000'>Mrs. Denville says that if boys and girls
are kind to cats and dogs and other creatures,
they will be kinder to each other. She says
we should all protect something weaker than
ourselves.</p>
<p class='c000'>As I lie on my cushion on the window-seat
I watch the crowds hurrying across the
Common and think this over. Suppose all
the people were kind to each other, suppose
all the cats, and dogs, and sparrows, and
pigeons and squirrels on the Common were
well-fed and happy, what a beautiful spot
this Beacon Hill would be. Those people are
not all kind. I can tell by their faces. If I
were a human being, I would try to do something
to make them smile on each other.</p>
<p class='c000'>I am only a little cat, and all I can do is to
be nice to Slyboots and the dogs, and the
dear family in this house, and in my parents'
house. Serena is the light of that home now.
She is more beautiful than ever, and more
<span class='pageno' id='Page_310'>310</span>dignified. No one here knows of her troubles
in the country, and she is a leader in cat
society on the Hill. My mother and father
are so proud of her. She never tries them
now by being affected or conceited. She says
she doesn't want to go to the country again,
but she is glad that she went this time.</p>
<p class='c000'>The Denvilles had a great joke about her
when she left them for her old home. They
did not understand. Many things in the cat
world are hidden from human beings. We
suffer, and rejoice, and scheme and plan
pretty much as the higher order of creation
does. If only more people would take the
trouble to study us. Serena says there is a
whole book of cat psychology waiting for
some one to open it and read aloud. Her
theory is that all created things should work
together, from kings to earth-worms. She
says they were started to accomplish great
things in unison, but some wicked people
threw things out of joint. She is preparing
a lecture on the subject for the Beacon Hill
Angora Club. I am to have a ticket.</p>
<p class='c000'>I hope everybody in Boston is going to
<span class='pageno' id='Page_311'>311</span>have a pleasant Christmas. That is a foolish
wish, Slyboots says, for everybody can't—Well,
then everybody that can, just as many
as possible. Some day, I may have some
more adventures to think out. Just now
there's nothing to tell except that we haven't
anything to tell, and we're all very happy
and wish the whole world were the same.</p>
