William the Fourth
“Bunker officially belonged to Ethel, William’s sister, but he bestowed his presence impartially on every family in the neighbourhood. He frequently haunted the next door garden, where lived another black cat, a petted darling named Luke, belonging to Miss Amelia Blake.
William treated all cats with supreme contempt. Towards his own family’s cat he unbent occasionally so far as to throw twigs at it or experiment upon it with pots of coloured paints, but he prided himself upon despising cats,... and considered that their only use in the world was to give exercise and pleasure to his beloved mongrel, Jumble.
When William lay in bed and Miss Amelia Blake’s tender accents rose nightly to his ears from the next garden, ‘Luky Luky Luky Luky Luk-ee-ee-ee!’ he would frown scornfully.
‘Huh! All for an ole cat! Fancy knowin’ ’em.’ His boast was that he did not know one cat from another.
Bunker was very old and very mangy.MoreLess
