And it startled me , as I sat thinking things over , to realize that I 'd lost my sense of humor . _ Thursday the Fourth _ Dinky-Dunk thinks I 'm mad . I 'm quite sure he does .

Oh , how that kitten scrambled after that fur , round and round in a circle until he 'd tumble over on his own ears ! I was squeaking and weak with laughing when Dinky-Dunk stood in the door .
