An excerpt from the beginning of the first chapter:
When, in the fable, that humorous progenitor of the human species, according
to that slicker, slyer and still more humorous, practical joker, Darwin, the
monkey, cast about him in a sudden emergency for some useful utensil
adequate to the purpose of pulling his chestnuts out of the fire, his selfish
ambition was rewarded by the sight of no less distinguished a person than the
Cat. Notwithstanding the piteous protests and flowing tears of Pussy, she was
forced into the service of the monkey, and ever after there lived in the
memory of man that wonderful story, from which we get the expressive
saying of "making a cat's paw" of anything or anybody.
