THE THIEF
Maggie: Why have you got that worried expression on your face, Jim? You
look like a cat that's been caught at the cream.
Jim: Cat! 1That's
just it, Maggie. But 2I really couldn't help it. 3She was waiting on the
doorstep when I came home and making such a row that 4I simply had to let her in.
Why have you got
that worried expression on your face?
Maggie: 5Let
who in? I don't know what you're talking about. Who was waiting on the
doorstep?
Jim: A kitten. Quite a young one, probably not more than six months old.
I've put her in the cupboard now.
Maggie: And what did this kitten do?
Jim: Well, as I told you, she was mewing and scratching at the door. It
was obvious she wanted something to eat, so I took her into the kitchen and
gave her some milk.
Maggie: And did she drink it?
Jim: My goodness, 6you should have seen her! 7She was obviously having the time of her life.
Maggie: 8I
can't help feeling, Jim, that 9there's more to it than that. Come on, tell me. I
know she's broken the 10china vase aunt Emily gave us for Christmas.
Jim: No, I'm afraid it's much worse than that, Maggie.
Maggie: 11For
goodness sake, Jim, tell me quickly!
Jim: Well, she was just lying quietly on the kitchen chair, so I left her
there for a moment to go upstairs. When I came back...
Maggie: Oh, Jim, I can guess ...
Jim: When I came back, she was sitting on the kitchen table and calmly
eating the steak you brought for dinner this evening.
Maggie: What, all of it?
Jim: No, but 12she was certainly licking
it all over when I caught her.
Maggie: Jim. That was a piece of 13top quality steak!
Jim: I know, Maggie, 14I really feel awful about it.
(Door-bell rings).
Maggie: I wonder who that is?
Jim: Good evening, 15officer, what can we do for you?
Police Constable: 16Sorry to disturb you, sir, but 17I'm calling at all the houses in
this road to see if a
kitten's been found. A very valuable blue Persian, lost by a young couple over
at 18Bankside.
19They used to live
in this road, so there's just a chance 20it might have made its way back here.
Maggie: Could this be the kitten? My husband found it outside the door
this afternoon.
Constable: It certainly looks like it.
Maggie: Well, you can take it with pleasure. It's just eaten our dinner.
Constable: Well, there's a reward of 21three guineas for the finder, so I shouldn't worry about that,
Ma'am.
Jim: That's great! 22On the strength of that 23we’ll treat ourselves to dinner at 24the Crown. Come along, Maggie. Good night, officer.
