seemed imminent. If my complete faith was to be in the opinion of the medical profession I could expect my family life to be broken up within three to six months, and the knowledge made me very sad. What would I do with my two Siamese cats who were little more than babies and in such a short time had developed a deep affection and love for <strong>Lobsang</strong> <strong>Rampa</strong> (the Guv) who had a like feeling for them? Now seven years later, we are again engrossed in film view- ing for recreation, just as we were in what now seems those very far off days. The other day we viewed again that lovely silhouette ‘short’ of Mr. Grasshopper and Miss Ant, produced by that clever and imaginative German lady, Lotte Reiniger, as mentioned in Pussywillow, and who had such a delightful feature written about her in The Albertan of April 2lst, accompanied by a charming photograph. It was particularly interesting to see that this celebrated German animator lives in New Barnet, North London, and that she was associated with John Grierson of the British Broadcasting Corporation, who later founded the National Film Board. Lotte Reiniger apparently pioneered the invention of the silhouette picture and made the first full-length animated film in the history of the cinema. Now aged seventy-seven years this lady is obvi- ously a great traveler and full of vivacity and verve. It is a great experience to have made her acquaintance, if only through the medium of a newspaper—so it seems our local newspaper does at times print something interesting and edu- cational. The Albertan please make a bow! If it were not for the constant pain which is forever present in our orbit I might well feel like the little cat who was so full, and overflowing, with joy at being included in the painting of the Buddha, that the planet was not big enough to sustain her, and she went right off to the next world. So, if we did not have a few sorrows and stresses we might all become too complacent and never achieve our goal which we had set for ourselves. Over this holiday period we have been discussing many things and this I enjoyed because at other times, on the work-a- days, there are so many others beseeching help, mainly 76
through letters, that I could not bring myself to add to the ‘chore’. So the holiday progressed, but not without slight mishap. After I had typed the first page of this ‘Interlude’ the great outdoors beckoned, so I put away the machine and took my Cat People for a drive lasting for around one hour. We have a delightful driver who adores Cleo and Taddy, and I can always feel safe if I have to leave them with him while I am out of the car to make a call or pick up a few supplies. If he sees anyone approaching, especially if the adults are accompanied by children (who are often rather meddlesome) you will find he has locked all the doors and guards my people with a fatherly care. Cleo and Taddy really do hold Keith in very high regard and, since they are so used to him they can forget he is there and devote all their mental and psychic energies to serving the terrain, and the people who are sitting in parked cars, or who are passing us (and commenting upon ‘those lovely cats’), or doing what Cleo and Taddy like best, speed- ing and passing other vehicles. We had traveled only a very short distance when Mama San felt a looseness in her eye-glasses and no sooner had she commented upon the fact than the right lens fell out. Keith was out of the car in a flash, opening the passenger door and being full of concern. However, the missing piece was quickly located inside the car and soon we were on our way once more, Mama San feeling like a half-blind creature. It was too bad because part of my mission was to call at the house of a lady of my acquaintance who wanted to show me some art work upon which she was engaged. She does all kinds of things, including Macrame, and her two sons are professional artists, one free- lance and the other an art teacher in Montreal. The lady's husband finds interest in cartooning, so I was not able to fully appreciate the things I was shown. Another of her hobbies is the making of turbans and she had one half completed for me and wanted to give me a fitting; in the end she had to decide herself what was best for I did not trust too well my one-eyed sight. 77
