By Sirius! there was a biped I felt sorry for. He was a little man

with sandy hair and whiskers __ good deal like mine. Henpecked?-- well, toucans and flamingoes and pelicans all had their bills in him. He wiped the dishes and listened to my mistress tell about the cheap, ragged things the lady with the squirrel-skin coat on __ second floor hung out on her line to dry. And every evening while she was getting supper she made him take me out on __ end of a string for __ walk.

If men knew how women pass __ time when they are alone they'd never marry. Laura Lean Jibbey, peanut brittle, a little almond cream on the neck muscles, dishes unwashed, half __ hour's talk with the iceman, reading a package of old letters, a couple of pickles and two bottles of malt extract, one hour peeking through a hole in the window shade into __ flat across the air-shaft--that's about all there is to it. Twenty minutes before time for him to come home from work she straightens up the house, fixes her rat so it won't show, and gets out __ lot of sewing for a ten-minute bluff.I led a dog's life in that flat. 'Most all day I lay there in my corner watching that fat woman kill time. I slept sometimes and had pipe dreams about being out chasing cats into basements and growling at old ladies with black mittens, as a dog was intended to do. Then she would pounce upon me with _ lot of that drivelling poodle palaver and kiss me on __ nose--but what could I do? A dog can't chew cloves.
