Présentation de l'éditeur
Mary one evening from the top of a wall, putting its small head as close as possible and talking in a low sweet voice. The waif had a story to tell, it was experiencing the hardness of the world without being embittered. It was a mere bag of bones covered with moth-eaten fur whose dingy white was so nearly the color of its gray spots, that it presented a uniformly neutral tint. I ts tail, a tufted bone, was about twice as long as its body. It followed Mary home and soon after its arrival a rat came out from behind the range. The small cat sprang after it and they circled the kitchen in a blur of speed and fur until the rat had a head-on collision with the coal hod.
