Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 315
Young Carlie brought his birthday drum and put it on the floorWhere Purr-purr lay a-sleeping, and dreaming oer and oerOf mice she would be catching, and of a great big rat,When something loud disturbed her, like this—Rat-tat-ta-tat! … Surprised, Miss Kitty wakened, and raised a dainty chinAs if to say, Why, Carlie ! What is that awful din?And Carlie —ruthless infant —continued loud to beat.And watched his pretty pussy get quickly to her feet.
