he panted , for he was quite out of breath from hurrying so . `` Where ? '' Happy Jack fairly shouted the question . `` Over there in the house , '' replied Tommy Tit . `` Then he has n't gone away ! It 's just as I said , he has n't gone away ! '' cried Happy Jack , and he was so relieved that he jumped up and down and as a result nearly tumbled out of the tree . `` No , '' replied Tommy , `` he has n't gone away , but I think there is something the matter with him . '' Happy Jack grew very sober . `` What makes you think so ? '' he demanded . `` If you 'll give me time to get my breath , I 'll tell you all about it , '' retorted Tommy Tit . `` All right , only please hurry , '' replied Happy Jack , and tried to look patient even if he was n't . Tommy Tit smoothed out some rumpled feathers and was most provokingly slow about it . `` When I left here , '' he began at last , `` I flew straight up to Farmer Brown 's house , as I said I would . I flew all around it , but all I saw was that horrid Black Pussy on the back doorsteps , and she looked at me so hungrily that she made me dreadfully uncomfortable . I do n't see what Farmer Brown keeps her about for , anyway . '' `` Never mind her ; go on ! '' interrupted Happy Jack . `` Then I flew all around the barn , but I did n't see any one there but that ugly little upstart , Bully the English Sparrow , and he wanted to pick a fight with me right away . ''
