Joseph
and
the
Sarah-cat
arrived
by
express
in
separate
boxes
.
After
they
had
been
released
and
fed
,
Joseph
selected
the
cushion
and
corner
which
appealed
to
him
,
and
the
Sarah-cat
gravely
sat
herself
down
before
the
fire
and
proceeded
to
wash
her
face
.
She
was
a
large
,
sleek
,
gray-and-white
cat
,
with
an
enormous
dignity
which
was
not
at
all
impaired
by
any
consciousness
of
her
plebian
origin
.
She
had
been
given
to
Aunt
Jamesina
by
her
washerwoman
.
"
Her
name
was
Sarah
,
so
my
husband
always
called
puss
the
Sarah-cat
,
"
explained
Aunt
Jamesina
.
"
She
is
eight
years
old
,
and
a
remarkable
mouser
.
Do
n't
worry
,
Stella
.
The
Sarah-cat
NEVER
fights
and
Joseph
rarely
.
"
"
They
'll
have
to
fight
here
in
self-defense
,
"
said
Stella
.
At
this
juncture
Rusty
arrived
on
the
scene
.
He
bounded
joyously
half
way
across
the
room
before
he
saw
the
intruders
.
Then
he
stopped
short
;
his
tail
expanded
until
it
was
as
big
as
three
tails
.
The
fur
on
his
back
rose
up
in
a
defiant
arch
;
Rusty
lowered
his
head
,
uttered
a
fearful
shriek
of
hatred
and
defiance
,
and
launched
himself
at
the
Sarah-cat
.
The
stately
animal
had
stopped
washing
her
face
and
was
looking
at
him
curiously
.
She
met
his
onslaught
with
one
contemptuous
sweep
of
her
capable
paw
.
Rusty
went
rolling
helplessly
over
on
the
rug
;
he
picked
himself
up
dazedly
.
What
sort
of
a
cat
was
this
who
had
boxed
his
ears
?
He
looked
dubiously
at
the
Sarah-cat
.
Would
he
or
would
he
not
?
The
Sarah-cat
deliberately
turned
her
back
on
him
and
resumed
her
toilet
operations
.
Rusty
decided
that
he
would
not
.
He
never
did
.
From
that
time
on
the
Sarah-cat
ruled
the
roost
.
Rusty
never
again
interfered
with
her
.
But
Joseph
rashly
sat
up
and
yawned
.
Rusty
,
burning
to
avenge
his
disgrace
,
swooped
down
upon
him
.
Joseph
,
pacific
by
nature
,
could
fight
upon
occasion
and
fight
well
.
The
result
was
a
series
of
drawn
battles
.
Every
day
Rusty
and
Joseph
fought
at
sight
.
Anne
took
Rusty
's
part
and
detested
Joseph
.
Stella
was
in
despair
.
But
Aunt
Jamesina
only
laughed
.
"
Let
them
fight
it
out
,
"
she
said
tolerantly
.
"
They
'll
make
friends
after
a
bit
.
Joseph
needs
some
exercise
--
he
was
getting
too
fat
.
And
Rusty
has
to
learn
he
is
n't
the
only
cat
in
the
world
.
"
Eventually
Joseph
and
Rusty
accepted
the
situation
and
from
sworn
enemies
became
sworn
friends
.
They
slept
on
the
same
cushion
with
their
paws
about
each
other
,
and
gravely
washed
each
other
's
faces
.
"
We
've
all
got
used
to
each
other
,
"
said
Phil
.
"
And
I
've
learned
how
to
wash
dishes
and
sweep
a
floor
.
"
