volumes, and double-frosted cakes; there is a pair of china slippers
with a pair of babies on the toes; there is a crystal vase held up by
two crystal swans, and a vase of silver in the form of a chariot drawn
by two doves; for everything must be in pairs for the birthday of the
twins.
Then, last of all, Davie gave to Lily a covered box, and when she
opened it she saw within an exquisitely embroidered velvet pen-wiper,
with a beautiful tortoise-shell cat lying upon it, and, playfully
jumping over her back, were two of the most charming tortoise-shell
kittens ever seen.
The mother-cat had around her neck a blue ribbon, and on the ribbon was
written these words,--
"Here is your cat, Lily,--after fifty years."
