PROFESSOR ANASTASIUS PAPADOPOULOS GOLD AND SILVER MEDALLIST THE CAT KING LE ROI DES CHATS DER KATZEN KONIG London Agents: MESSRS. CONTO & BLAG, 172 Maiden Lane, W.C. "There," said he, "I am always to be found, should you ever require my services. I have a masterpiece in my head. I come on to the scene like Bacchus drawn by my two cats. How are the cats to draw my heavy weight? I'll have a noiseless clockwork arrangement that will really propel the car. You must come and see it." "Delighted, I'm sure," said Dale, who stood looking down on the Liliputian egotist with polite wonder. Lola Brandt glanced at him apologetically. "You mustn't mind him, Dale. He has only two ideas in his head, his cats and myself. He's devoted to me." "I don't think I shall be jealous," said Dale in a low voice. |
