Hanker-chief

Sometimes master cries.

And when he cries, the maids all race to get him a hanker-chief first.

It's amusing, watching them trip over their billowing skirts and aprons and tumble down the stairs, all for the sake of a piece of cloth.

But sometimes, master comes to me when he cries, in the night, when the maids are asleep or working.

He doesn't look as handsome when his face is streaked with tearstains and there are creases in his pyjamas.

Then he hugs me, tightly and makes my fur all wet with his salty tears.

And we stay like that for a long time.

We stay that way, master with his arms around me, and I sitting there obediently, until master falls asleep.

He would sink to the floor, a puppy smile on his face.

Now I think I can understand why all the maids want to give him their hanker-chief first.
