To the surprise of us all, however, except perhaps Doctor Winchester, he did not manifest the least annoyance; he took no notice of it whatever.

He stood on the table close beside it, purring loudly.

Then, following out his plan, the Doctor brought him into Mr.Trelawny's room, we all following.
Doctor Winchester was excited; Miss Trelawny anxious.

I was more than interested myself, for I began to have a glimmering of the Doctor's idea.

The Detective was calmly and coldly superior; but Mr.Corbeck, who was an enthusiast, was full of eager curiosity.
The moment Doctor Winchester got into the room, Silvio began to mew and wriggle; and jumping out of his arms, ran over to the cat mummy and began to scratch angrily at it.
