My heart felt like a great cold lump of lead

My heart felt like a great cold lump of lead

My heart felt like a great cold lump of lead

My heart felt like a great cold lump of lead, as the sad truth flashed upon my mind my kind mistress had gone, with all the family, and I was left, forgotten, deserted! My first endeavour was to find my way out. Had I succeeded, even then I would have found my mistress, for cats have an instinct you little wot of. But every door and window was fastened, and there wasn’t a hole left which a rat could have crept through.
