spinning, dropped her thread! The noise awoke Grimalkin, So wise and fierce and black,Who, with a cry both loud and high, Sprang at the goblins back!Home for his life the goblin flew;Puss following — the watch-dog, too. I did my duty nobly, Next morn the goblin said. I made a great sensation,And… … home for his life the goblin flew. The more conceited people grow, The less they please — the less they know!
