Text Appearing Before Image:
d poor Moumoutte Chinoise as her enddrew near; her last sad impulse to die away from SOME CATS OF FRANCE 227 pitying eyes and helping hands; the prolongedagony of Moumoutte Blanche who fought piteouslyfor her fast ebbing life; — these things we haveread in mournful moments, wishing them all thetime untold, just as we wish their author would notsuddenly intrude some unseemly jest upon us whenwe are least attuned to its reception. Yet never has a cat of character been drawnwith the careful and sympathetic art bestowed uponMoumoutte Chinoise. She is the Jane Eyre ofpussies ; ugly, intelligent, sensitive, passionate, self-controlled, intrepid, and vivacious. M. Loti canhardly be said to resemble Rochester; but, likethat beatified barbarian, he had the quality of dis-cernment, which enabled him to see the spirit andcharm hidden beneath so mean and shabby an ex-terior. Elle a, dans sa laideur piquante,Un grain de sel de cette mer,Dou jaillit, nue et provocante,Lacre Venus du gouffre amer.
