Gracie and Her Pets
Description:... Excerpt from Gracie and Her Pets
Come, Nero. my little son,
A tale to you I'll tell;
Of my mistress and her pets,
And of myself as well.
I love my little mistress,
To me she's very kind,
Sometimes I think she is rough;
I s'pose that's in the mind.
The first that I will speak of,
Is Quitter and her chicks;
The next of importance
Is Tabbie and her kits.
Now, Nero, sit down on the grass at my feet. How like a boy you are, stretching your full length and laying your head upon your arms. Well, i shall sit up, so I can hear if my mistress calls me; for to-day is her birthday, eight years old.
It won't be long till she will be what the gentlefolks call a young lady. i am not half her age, so I s'pose it will be a long while before I shall called a young lady.
