This
was
not
the
least
pleasant
of
Kit
’
s
employments
.
On
a
fine
day
they
were
quite
a
family
party
;
the
old
lady
sitting
hard
by
with
her
work
-
basket
on
a
little
table
;
the
old
gentleman
digging
,
or
pruning
,
or
clipping
about
with
a
large
pair
of
shears
,
or
helping
Kit
in
some
way
or
other
with
great
assiduity
;
and
Whisker
looking
on
from
his
paddock
in
placid
contemplation
of
them
all
.
To
-
day
they
were
to
trim
the
grape
-
vine
,
so
Kit
mounted
half
-
way
up
a
short
ladder
,
and
began
to
snip
and
hammer
away
,
while
the
old
gentleman
,
with
a
great
interest
in
his
proceedings
,
handed
up
the
nails
and
shreds
of
cloth
as
he
wanted
them
.
The
old
lady
and
Whisker
looked
on
as
usual
.
‘
Well
,
Christopher
,
’
said
Mr
Garland
,
‘
and
so
you
have
made
a
new
friend
,
eh
?
’
‘
I
beg
your
pardon
,
Sir
?
’
returned
Kit
,
looking
down
from
the
ladder
.
‘
You
have
made
a
new
friend
,
I
hear
from
Mr
Abel
,
’
said
the
old
gentleman
,
‘
at
the
office
!
’
‘
Oh
!
Yes
Sir
,
yes
.
He
behaved
very
handsome
,
Sir
.
’
‘
I
’
m
glad
to
hear
it
,
’
returned
the
old
gentlemen
with
a
smile
.
‘
He
is
disposed
to
behave
more
handsomely
still
,
though
,
Christopher
.
’
‘
Indeed
,
Sir
!
It
’
s
very
kind
in
him
,
but
I
don
’
t
want
him
to
,
I
’
m
sure
,
’
said
Kit
,
hammering
stoutly
at
an
obdurate
nail
.
‘
He
is
rather
anxious
,
’
pursued
the
old
gentleman
,
‘
to
have
you
in
his
own
service
—
take
care
what
you
’
re
doing
,
or
you
will
fall
down
and
hurt
yourself
.
’
‘
To
have
me
in
his
service
,
Sir
?
’
cried
Kit
,
who
had
stopped
short
in
his
work
and
faced
about
on
the
ladder
like
some
dexterous
tumbler
.
‘
Why
,
Sir
,
I
don
’
t
think
he
can
be
in
earnest
when
he
says
that
.
