 | | Then I said to myself, this cat thinks she has struck a placer, and a hundred to one she will be driving her pick in here again directly. |
 | | Sometimes the cat creeps in,--very seldom, for I do not trust her, even with the height of the room between them, and punish her whenever I find her on forbidden ground, by taking her upstairs and putting her out on the porch-roof, where she has her choice to stay and starve or jump off. |
