    place when he was bringing the cat. So this day he went to town with the cat inside in a bag to measure the shoes. When he came near this place the cat heard the hounds and she told Wat to mind her from them. "Stay there where you are and you will be safe", said Wat.
    When the hounds came near him he caught the bag and the cat and flung it out on the road. The dog chased her, and she going away the cat said, "A, tis well for you Wat. If I caught you I would choke you".
