After a succession of the cat-like dynasties, the kings and queens of which beautiful, ugly, smooth, were despaired, black, white, deaf, were located, and were differently marked, I remember to firmly attach my affections on a kitten which grew to be the ugliest specimen, gauntest, and dullest that I never saw. In days of sound kittenhood I baptized it Tassie after his mother; but while time dispatched above, and the name comported hardly with male dignity, this was changed into Tacit, as a more befitting its sex. It was accustomed to dodging in and out of the main entrance, which was heavy, and which sometimes balanced together before it went well out of it. Consequently, an appendix caudal with two broken joints was one of its devices of distinction. Without counting that a broken tail, it had ears which annoy the reference marks of much bitterly disputed battle, and an expression which for only and given up general - the born ones would have discouraged even Mrs. Gummidge.
But I liked it, and according to crying inconsolable and length-continued with what it rilled the house each time I was on the other hand, my affection was not rewarded.
