Gracious Host Tales #1:The Professor

When The Professor came over for a drink, the Smitty waited until the professor was pleasantly ensconced in the low-slung mama-san swivel chair (this mister’s main chair), drink in hand, holding forth on some subject

-- and then, from nowhere, he leapt up into the professor’s lap and settled in for some heavy petting.

"Well hello,” said the Professor a-petting. “What a beautiful cat you are.”

And then, addressing the Misters: “He’s beautiful. And so clean!”

And then they all sat by the fire and had tea

[or something like that. I mean where do they get these entries? Old children’s books?—ed.]
