CHAPTER IV
Wherein Robert Purdon Finds nis Shaving, Brush
(In pievious chapters it is related hW Robert woko up, almost
took a cold bath, decided to shave, discovered the loss of his shaving
brush and trod on the kitten's tail. The hair-raising narrative con
tinues:) Now it may have been Robert's instinctive distaste to giving pain
to anything or anybody; it may have been the knowledge that the Jinx
is Mrs. Purdon's most precious possession or it may have been simply
nervousness born of lowered itality; but, whatever it was, Robert,
after causing the kitten to yowl and spit, jumped backward, missed
his footing, and sat down veiy suddenly on the rug, throwing out his
hands as he did so.
His hand closing on something it found on the floor he suffered
i wan smile to irradiate his features as he addressed the kitten,
which with arched back and bristling tail was heaping scorn and
contumely upon him.
"My dear Watson," fcaid Robert, "pray cnlm yourself. Much as
I dislike to hurt your feelings it was in this case necessary. You will
doubtless call to mind the celebrated case of the lost collar button, in
which I dropped n second button in order to locate the first. With
unerring skill, and some slight moving about of furniture I suc
ceeded, as you know, in finding one of the buttons under the dresser
and the other under the bed. Well, this case is entirely different. As
you have now begun to suspect, my rushing out to notify my wife that
the shaving brush was missing was merely a feint. Knowing that
there is a kitten in the house, what is more natural than that the kit
ten should knock n brush from the washstand? To find the brush,
therefore, the only thing to do was to find the kitten. Deduction, my
dear Watson, deduction. I found the kitten and heie is the brush!"
"Marvelous!" the kitten seemed to say. "Meeiou-velous!" and ran
downstairs .to tell its mother.
Robert carefully rinsed out the brush, moistened his beard, rubbed
' in the soap, and again used the brush. "It has been the dream of my
life," he muttered pessimistically, "to get a lather like the fellow in
the advertising pages. But I don't seem to be able to manage it"
But let him shave! My soul, I hope, will never need the call
of rampant realism. There needs must be some moments in the lifo
of a man immuncn,fxom raw portrayal, and shaving's one of them.
What though he swears a thousand imps of blackest pit, have msped
the million microscopic teeth that chew his beard, 'tis most excusable.
So let him shave!
