animal, but he laughed too much to be able to catch him; and
Jocko, pleased at his own performance, jumped on to Ratt's back, and the
rascal ran half way down the street before the monkey would dismount.
Bruin ran after them, and so great was the crowd that pursued, that he
was glad to hide both himself and Jocko in an inn-yard."

The young ones all laughed famously at this story; and then, as it was
near tea-time, they set off home, where they had, for a treat, hot toast
for tea, and a game at forfeits afterwards.

So Mr. and Mrs. Strutt got on much better with the Seminary than the
Surgery; and it is said that after a few years they had more than fifty
boarders who used often to take rambles in the Highgate Meadows.
