I'm worried about Theo. He seems so... unhappy. He's like an English gentleman who had intended to visit his niece down in Wiltshire for but a fortnight, and due to an unexpected turn of events (1), was perforce staying for the long term. He's not unpleasant, he remains ever so courteous, and he does find some forms of amusement, but this country house is obviously too modest for him. He wants London food. A tour of the continent. Or maybe a relaxed but social residence in Bath. In any case, he escaped out the back door today while I was taking out the trash, and if it weren't for his portly and dignified pace I would have lost him (2). And lately he's been getting better and better at reaching the doorknob of the front door. I'm almost tempted to set the door ajar and let him come and go as he will. Except that this is an apartment building.
1: Perhaps his errant son Edward mismanaged his estates, indulged in questionable activities, and lost his heart to too many inappropriate women. The latest of which, Catherine of F-----, had just left her previous suitor bankrupt, and moved into Edward's London flat with her dresses and jewelry and flamboyant taste for exotica.
2: That, and the fact that he was running in altogether the wrong direction from the stairs. One must admit, however, that his nimble exeunt was quite remarkable for a cat of his girth.
Add: I've just decided that Goma is a cad. Adorable yet quite morally bankrupt.(3) Goma would be one of those irresponsible men who had worked himself into Edward's good graces by his charm and cheerful wanton, and have been placed in charge of said estates, driving old man Theo utterly crazy. Yup, the gentleman and the cad. If this were Bridget Jones, Theo would be Colin Firth and Goma would be Hugh Grant.
3: He drinks, he smokes, he gambles, he's licentious with women. But oh, how charmingly and unaffectedly he smiles! Or I guess in Goma's case, he is drawn to trash and thievery, he chases tail, he pounces and wrecks property. But oh, how he purrs! Incorrible cad.

Today he was whining so pitifully that I let him out for a while. Bob returned him.
