CHAPTER IX THE CAT TO-DAY Sphinx of my quiet hearth ! who deignst to dwellFriend of my toil, companion of mine ease. PERHAPS some portion of the tendernesswhich falls to Pussys happy lot in thesesmooth days, when her star — eclipsed sincethe fall of Pasht — has once more reached its zenith,is due to the nursery rhymes which present her soconstantly to infant eyes and ears. The cat, saysM. Champfieury, is the nurses favourite, and thebabys earliest friend. It plays its part in littlerhythmical dramas, cunningly presented to thedrowsy child, who falls asleep with a familiar imageparading fantastically through his brain. Frenchrhymes are much the prettiest ; less bald than theEnglish, less banal than the German. There is a THE CAT TO-DAY 229 gayety in their dancing measures, and the simplestnarratives have a touch of picturesqueness, neverlost on infancy. Even an A, B, C verse, whichwe try to make as imbecile as words will allow, canassume a pleasing form in the nurseries of France.W
