" if you do not go where i want you to , i will scratch out your eyes , and drive you over rock and precipice ! " said the cat . the elk did not dare do anything save what the cat wished , and so off they went , like lightning , over stick and stone , from cliff to cliff , right past ebe , who stood before the house scouring the shutters , and with one bound into the king 's castle .
