six o'clock in the morning
the country was his ruin . What brought about the change I can not say : maybe the air was too bracing . He slid down the moral incline with frightful rapidity . The first night he stopped out till eleven , the second night he never came home at all , the third night he came home at six o'clock in the morning , minus half the fur on the top of his head . Of course , there was a lady in the case , indeed , judging by the riot that went on all night , I am inclined to think there must have been a dozen . He was certainly a fine cat , and they took to calling for him in the day time . Then gentleman cats who had been wronged took to calling also , and demanding explanations , which Thomas Henry , to do him justice , was always ready to accord .
