Text Appearing Before Image:
cat; andthe antagonism formerly felt for the clergyman hadbeen transferred to the clerical pet. No house-holder would give it food or shelter; and, if it slunk 66 THE FIRESIDE SPHINX trembling through the village streets, the childrenpelted it with stones and clots of mud. Therenever was a cat so ill-treated as that poor Churchof England animal, says Borrow indignantly ; andaltogether on account of the opinions which it wassupposed to have imbibed in the house of its latemaster; for I never could learn that the dissentersof Llangollen were in the habit of persecuting othercats. The cat was a Church of England cat, andthat was enough. Finally he was obliged to carryaway this unconscious and reluctant martyr, andto seek for it an asylum in another village, whereit was charitably received by a young woman, who,being herself an Anglican, w^as all the more readyto aid an oppressed scion of the Establishment. It is a touch of comedy with which to ring downthe curtain on Pussys tragic past.
