O'Dule watched him with fascinated eyes. The big cat had risen and with back fur and tail afluff spit vindictively as Billy passed out through the door.,"Neeborly, ain't he?" growled Tom to his companion.

"Say horses don't understand!" grinned Maurice. "Gee! I guess maybe they do understand, though.","Yes, quite so: that is exactly what I meant," returns he, agreeably.
