CAT IN THE RAIN

- ERNEST HEMINGWAY

STORY OUTLINE
CAT IN THE RAIN

An American
couple are in Italy
on tour. Their hotel
room faces the sea.
It also faces the
public garden and
the war monument.
It is raining.
Right under the
window of their
room, there is a
cat under one of
the green
tables. The
tables are wet
due to rain. The
cat tries not to
get wet.
The wife wants the
cat. So, she decides
to go and get it. Her
husband George
offers to get it. But
she says she will
get it herself. So,
George continues
reading. He tells
her not to get wet.
On the way out, the
American wife meets
the hotel owner. He
is a very tall man. He
is very polite and
likes to serve her.
She likes his old face
and big hands. She
also likes the way he
treats his customers.
It starts raining
heavily. Therefore,
the hotel owner
sends his maid
with an umbrella
so that the
American wife
wouldnt get wet.
The American
wife looks under
the table, but the
cat is not to be
found. The maid
asks her whether
she lost anything.
The American
wife says she saw
a cat under the
table. The maid is
amused.
But when the
American wife
says that she
wanted a kitty in
English, the maid
becomes serious.
She says they
must get in and
not get wet.
On reaching the room,
George asks her about
the cat. The wife tells
him that it was not to
be found. She then
looks at her hair in the
mirror and says she
will grow her hair.
George says she looks
good this way. But she
says she is tired of
looking like a boy.
The American wife
then states that
she will have a
cat. She will have
her own silver and
eat at the dining
table with candles.
George feels bored
and asks her to
shut up.
At that time,
there is a knock
at the door. The
door opens and
the maid brings a
tortoise shell cat.
She says that the
owner gifted it to
her.
