"BAD AGAIN!" When tea, and reading, and sewing were all over, the children were allowed to play with the new kittens, and Granny presented a kitten to each child, Turly choosing the black and Terry the white one.

They were each of a very aristocratic cat race, and had been sent a great many miles as a present to Madam.

Terry named her kitten Snow, and Turly gave his the name of Jet.

Jet had a scarlet ribbon and a gold bell, and Snow a blue ribbon and a silver bell.

Nancy also produced two balls of knitting worsted, and it was very funny to see the kitties frisking about the floor after the dangling balls.
