“It was all my fault. I apologize to you, Squire Julian.” He was completely taken aback by the cat’s reply. “Not at all, my dear friend. It is I that must apologize to you. The whole incident was entirely due to my priggishness and lack of manners.” Captain Snow swooped down and perched near the cat. “D’you really think so? Oh, come on, Julian, old chap. I must share the blame. It was my barrack-room feeding habits that started the whole thing. You mustn’t blame yourself, old friend.” A rare smile covered the features of the normally laconic Julian. He purred comfortingly. “No, no. I insist that we share the blame fifty-fifty. Besides, the question won’t arise now that you’ve sworn off shrews and mice. I say, have you ever tried a fresh trout salad with mustard and cress? Why don’t you come over to the barn? I’m sure there’ll be enough for two. I mean, trout’s not exactly a vegetable, is it?” Wing in paw, the reunited comrades strolled off to the barn, chatting amiably as if there had never been a cross word between them. Julian was last to enter the barn. He gave Matthias a broad wink.
