The Calico Cat

Solomon Peaslee has just been named a grand juror—and at the family dinner, his wife wants to know whether the job pays enough to justify the walking.

In the small town of Ellmington, Solomon sees his new civic honor as the first step toward a future in public life. His neighbors may find his self-importance amusing, but he is determined to prove himself a man of judgment. Then a troublesome calico cat brings unexpected complications, putting his ambitions and carefully guarded reputation in jeopardy. Can Solomon keep his dignity—and his neighbors’ respect—when the cat’s mischief refuses to stay a small matter?
