Yet I'm yere to assert, son, that them sacred people ain't on speakin' terms compared to the way that pore old lovin' Tom mule feels towards Jerry.
"This affection of Tom's is partic'lar amazin' when you-all recalls the fashion in which the sullen Jerry receives it.

Doorin' the several years I spends in their s'ciety I never once detects Jerry in any look or word of kindness to Tom.

Jerry bites him an' kicks him an' cusses him out constant; he never tol'rates Tom closter than twenty foot onless at times when he orders Tom to curry him.

Shore, the imbecile Tom submits.

On sech o'casions when Jerry issues a summons to go over him, usin' his upper teeth for a comb an' bresh, Tom is never so happy.
