Между тем годы шли. У Анны Алексеевны было уже двое детей. Когда я приходил к Лугановичам, прислуга улыбалась приветливо, дети кричали, что пришел дядя Павел Константиныч, и вешались мне на шею; все радовались. Не понимали, что делалось в моей душе, и думали, что я тоже радуюсь. Все видели во мне благородное существо. И взрослые и дети чувствовали, что по комнате ходит благородное существо, и это вносило в их отношения ко мне какую-то особую прелесть, точно в моем присутствии и их жизнь была чище и красивее. Я и Анна Алексеевна ходили вместе в театр, всякий раз пешком; мы сидели в креслах рядом, плечи наши касались, я молча брал из ее рук бинокль и в это время чувствовал, что она близка мне, что она моя, что нам нельзя друг без друга, но, по какому-то странному недоразумению, выйдя из театра, мы всякий раз прощались и расходились, как чужие. В городе уже говорили о нас бог знает что, но из всего, что говорили, не было ни одного слова правды.

Mrs Frisby looked again at the sun and saw that she faced an unpleasant choice. She could go home by the same roundabout way she had come, in which case she would surely end up walking alone in the woods in the dark — a frightening prospect, for at night the forest was alive with danger. Then the owl came out to hunt, and foxes, weasels and strange wild cats stalked among the tree trunks. The other choice would be dangerous, too, but with luck it would get her home before dark. That would be to take a straighter route, across the farmyard between the barn and the chicken house, going not too close to the house but cutting the distance by half. The cat would be there somewhere, but by daylight — and by staying in the open, away from the shrubs — she could probably spot him before he saw her.
The cat: He was called Dragon. Farmer Fitzgibbon’s wife had given him the name as a joke when
he was a small kitten pretending to be fierce. But when he grew up, the name turned out to be an apt one. He was enormous, with a huge, broad head and a large mouth full of curving fangs, needle sharp. He had seven claws on each foot and a thick, furry tail, which lashed angrily from side to side. In colour he was orange and white, with glaring yellow eyes; and when he leaped to kill, he gave a high, strangled scream that froze his victims where they stood.
